Lifestylista Hi Guys! I need help a concern I have regarding International Roaming and the Blackberry Service.
I'll be flying to Hong Kong this 14-18th of April and I was wondering if anyone of you have tried their Prepaid Blackberry Services in HKG? This will be the first time that I'll be using a prepaid sim out of the country using my blackberry bold 9700 since I wont be bringing my postpaid line as it costs a lot when I put it on roaming.
I'd like to know the following:
1. Are there prepaid sim cards in HKG that offer Prepaid Blackberry Internet Service?
2. If there are none, what are my alternatives? Will the Unlimited Data Plans they have in HKG suffice to make my blackberry work there? (BBM, Emails etc)
3. If there are no alternatives to this, would I be able to use my BBM through wi-fi? HKG has lots of wi-fi hotspots so it wouldn't be hard for me to access internet on-the-go, if need be. I just need to know how to make my BBM and Emails work in the event that I wont have BIS during my stay there.
4. In worst comes to worst scenario, would it be wiser to use my Iphone instead of my BB when I go to HKG? Are there prepaid plans for the iphone in HKG as well?
I really need help on this as I do not want to bring my postpaid number to roaming anymore since my last experience cost me 15k for blackberry services alone. :(
Anyone, kindly shed some light? Please?
Thanks!
