Blackberry service in Taiwan?

Hi,

I'll be travelling to Taiwan and I'd like to know if my BB ervices (i've a Vodafone contract) will work there.

Thank a lot!

Check with Vodafone about roaming costs or setting up a global plan. Yes you SHOULD be able to get data, certainly via wifi, but probably via cell also, BUT likely there will be roaming charges. Your carrier might offer a discount IF you sign up for a global plan which you can cancel when you return. At least that's how it works here in the US. :) Sounds like a call to Vodafone is in order. :)

Ok I just checked Taiwan DOES use GSM technology so your device will work, now you just need to worry about the charges. :)

Thank a lot ;) finally alwasys money matters :)

Another option that you might want to look into is if there are any prepaid BIS plans with a local provider in Taiwan. If there are, it might be cheaper to get your device unlocked and get a prepaid SIM with prepaid BIS to use while you are abroad.
