Prepaid BIS will work fine when abroad, but let me warn you, do not register any e-mail accounts with the prepaid BIS provider in the Philippines, otherwise your PIN will get locked to their service.
i am also planning to go to the Philippines for a holiday and wanting to know what kind of prepaid blackberry sim plans they have? mainly for data use. can you recommend anything?
you have to un-register your device with your current carrier. and un-register your device before you leave the philippines. globe offers bis 220php for 5 days
I travel to Indonesia a lot and use a prepaid BIS there through multiple carriers and I don't have to deregister any of my email accounts? This does not sound right?
Vodafone roaming rates suck, 2 weeks close to $800.00 lol.
I was in the Phils fir 3months last yr, Oct til Dec, and used Globe's prepaid BIS. I didnt have to de-register from my carrier here in Australia nor did i need to de-register from Globe wheb i left. I setup all mu emails with Globe upon arrival and did the same with me carrier when i arrived back in Sydney..
