Buyer Beware - B'berry Passport & AT&T International Service is Very Limited!
I bought a new Blackberry Passport two weeks ago. It's a great device even if we have to wait a bit for SW issues to be resolved. However, AT&T has exclusive rights to the Blackberry. I travel in Europe frequently often outside large cities. I just spent a frustrating hour plus dealing with AT&T support to set up international phone service and learned that AT&T only provides service in selected large cities. I was a Verizon customer until recently and switched to AT&T when I upgraded to the Blackberry Passport. With Verizon, I traveled all over Europe and was without service only in one very remote area of Southern France. You can understand my surprise and disappointment that AT&T can't provide the same level of service AND when I asked about AT&T international service when switching to AT&T, was not told that service is limited! Other potential Passport buyers need to consider their need for international service before buying.
Will Verizon eventually be able to support the B'berry Passport?
