Hey I have recently been in the market for a blackberry
I live in Canada, and would be able to switch to any mobile service be it Fido, Rogers, Bell or Telus
Here is my predicament:
Essentially I just want the ability to use BBM (blackberry messenger).
I would like to know the cheapest route available to do so.
When going directly through rogers, the minimum plan is $40/month.
I would like to pay in the range of $25.
I know the cheapest data plan available is 10$ and cheapest voice is about 15$, but I do not know if I can use those phones for the blackberry.
Also, would I be able to get a plan on another phone and merely use the simcard for the blackberry. Would this method allow me to BBM.
In general, any application who's name starts with "BlackBerry" absolutely requires a BlackBerry data plan to work. BlackBerry Messenger, for example, will not work with a generic data plan, because the message flow needs to go through the RIM NOC, which only happens with the BlackBerry data plan.
