    Does anyone know if there is a way to swap between the Z10 and 9900 without changing my AT&T data plan? I know that the Z10 is LTE and the 9900 needs bis, has anyone done this and gotten it to work?

    I need a few things for work that are only on the 9900 but love my Z10 and want to use it after work.

    They use different SIM cards, remember...
    For the record: BIS/BES plan will work on Z10.

    You could try hotspotting between them (then you have to carry them both). Honestly if anyone wanted to keep 9900 and another phone, I wouldn't get a Z10. Just get a super cool android or a 5"-7" phablet, and do your man work on 9900 and have fun with the other one.

    Your Z10 micro sim will work in the 9900 provided you position it correctly. As far as data plans, I'm on AT&T and when I went to get the micro sim card, the AT&T rep switched my Apple iPhone data to BlackBerry data (BIS). I have taken the micro sim out of the Z10 and placed it in my 9900 and was able to get all services working. Now back to the sim card. Although the micro sim will work in the 9900 you may want to get a full size sim if you're going to use the 9900 for the long term.

    Thanks for the replies, I have sim adapters so I'm not worried about that. And as long as my data plan is the bright one for my Z10 I should be ok?

    Yep. But to be on the safe side, I'd suggest you call AT&T and confirm the data plan.

    Don't use SIM adapters, as they can sometimes catch a reader pin and break it off. Just aligning the micro SIM in the 9900 works.

    I use my Z10 SIM in my 9900. When I got the Z10 I had them leave the BlackBerry plan on the account.
