- I know its been asked a few times already, and I wish to apologize in advance, just a little confused with Rogers website and truthfully not sure how much I need.
Heres the situation:
-Going to USA for one week (Wednesday to Wednesday)
-Have Torch 9800
-Would like to use BBM
-Send and receive a few txts while Im there to USA numbers and CDN numbers
-Would like to leave my email on so that I receive my emails daily on my Blackberry (approximately receive 20 emails per day and send 10 if that)
-Thats about it
Dont need any voice minutes as i wont be calling, just the above mentioned.
Which is my best option from Rogers add on pack?
Thank you in advance.

I would suggest that you get your device "Unlocked" and simply get a pay as you go plan in the USA. Slid in the SIM card and problem solved.
It will be much cheaper.
I do this for the USA and Europe. I have a USA SIM Card (Verizon) and Europe (Vodafone) I learned my lesson. (I have a second BB that I use for travelling only so in an Emergency I can always be reached on my primary number)
Only "Disadvantage" is I 2 carry 2 BB's while travelling.
IMO Rogers data roaming packages suck. For the same money you can get a I Month USA Plan.Last edited by Underdogz; 08-21-11 at 07:40 AM.

That said, IF you don't want people calling or txting you a prepaid card while in the US is ideal since you lose your number.
I pay $10/month and $1/MB while traveling to the US on Rogers, I don't send sms so I don't have a package for that.08-21-11 08:00 AMLike 0
