I have a BlackBerry 8830 that Verizon was kind of to unlock (yes, Verizon will give you the code for free if you ask).

I'm travelling to Europe and want to get a SIM card that will allow me to call out and received email from an BlackBerry Enterprise Server while in Europe without using the Verizon SIM card - cell calls way to expensive.

I saw one company that had a reasonable calling rates but the email was priced at $0.015 per KB's. Since my email sizes range from 1KB to 10MB (or more) it can get prohibitively expensive. I get approx 200-400 emails per day. Even if the average size was 20KB, at 200 per day, it comes to $60.00 PER DAY.

Verizon will do the email for an addition $20.00 per month on top of my current plan. That's a good rate. But if I leave the Version SIM card in to get BlackBerry email, then I will have to get another cell phone to use a 3rd party SIM card for cellular service.

Anyone know a service that provides reasonable rates - fixed - for BlackBerry data in Europe as well as reasonable rates for cell service? Any of these services offer a USA phone number so we can call forward the Verizon phone number to the phone number on the European SIM card?

Thank you

Jerry

The CallinEurope rates look very good to me and what I also liked is the postpaid billing for calls made during the previous month. For a casual user, the final cost may not be much better than with other providers, but for a heavy user, CallinEurope looks like a winner.
