Travelling to the USA from Montreal and need pay as you go Service or similiar

[stamatgeorge]

I'm driving from Montreal to Florida in June with my unlocked BlackBerry 9700 and was wondering if there is any cheap "pay as you go" or "prepaid" plan" with T-Mobile to have my unlocked BlackBerry 9700 working (voice and data included) ?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in Advance,

You could purchase a T-Mobile Complete package. There's a $60 package. Granted you have to purchase an 8520, but all you have to do is insert the pre-paid sim into your phone and it should work.

You can go to any T-Mobile corporate store and purchase the $60 plan without a phone, just getting a SIM card to use in your 9700. No credit check is required, and you can drop service any time you want. The plan is 500 voice minutes, free night, weekends,and mobile to mobile, unlimited text, and data

Will the $60 plan work on my 9700 and have BIS included ?
Basically, will I be able to get my emails working and the BB's apps working ?

By the way, what is the $60 plan called ?

This $60 plan sounds better than my monthly plan... Am I missing something?

I now have even more 500, unlimited messaging, data: $39.99+$10+$30=$80

Do they need a credit card to make the purchase or to put on file ?

The EM+ rate is $20 less per month on the Talk/Text/Web plans for a single line. That's the trade-off for not getting discounts on phone purchases

I see... I did not know this is EM+ we are talking about. I thought it this was some special "travel kit" pricing.
