Traveling to the US with a BlackBerry

[rainor94]

I will be visiting San Francisco and 3 islands in Hawaii. I will be bringing my Bold with me. I heard that T-Mobile has PrePaid BlackBerry service. How much is this service and will it work for me?

I'm not aware of "Prepaid" BlackBerry service, I previously had a Sidekick on Prepaid but it was entirely different.

I think what you might have heard of was FlexPay service, which is what I currently use on my BlackBerry, Its a month to month based service, without a contract. Your given the option of a plan ranging from 300 minutes without the myFaves to a plan with unlimited minutes without myFaves.

You'll end up paying for each month of service in advance, without a contract. I'm not sure how this will work for you, I believe it requires a valid and current social security number, but I can't be held to that.

While doing more research I have found this:T-Mobile - $65 Prepaid Monthly Plan Card - T-Mobile Mo

It's sold at BestBuy and well is it something I can just pick up and setup through the phone even thought I don't live in the US?

Does Roger's Bold have UMA? You could use UMA to your advantage

Compatible with T-Mobile no-contract cell phones
To go toward the activation of the $39.99 single line Flexpay rate plan and $24.99 data plan.

I have never seen this in any best buy store, and so I'm not even quite sure what this is.
