Help - transfer of text between two BlackBerries

I have two identical 9930 traveling abroad...

BB#1 has a Verizon SIM with unlimited data plan

BB$2 has just a local SIM card

sometimes I would like to transfer text (about 200+ characters) from BB#1 to BB#2

one way is to send a SMS text message but that is VERY expensive ($0.50 per message to send...) so there must be some other ways...

can we list them here

I am thinking somehow connecting BB#1 and BB#2 via Bluetooth - and having a chat application going?

or sending a text.txt file via bluetooth from BB#1 to BB#2

please advise...

thank you...

BBM? If not, there's lots of apps like WhatsUp that will do this.
Email might work too ;)

I'm wondering if you can do this with NFC? And wouldn't it be easier to just swap sims or do you need 2 bb's active at the same time? Or is it the security of having a backup bb already idling in the garage? Haha!

mate point is that BB#2 doesn't have internet on it
so no BBM no email nothing but voice and SMS

but could use bluetooth or so...

yes how does NFC work?

no I need both of them on at the same time

Copy the text and save it in a document on the memory card, stick the card in the other phone, save the document to device memory.

You could also bluetooth that file to the other device.
