I dont know if you are asking me or not. My BB is from Sprint. I had to make only a phone call to Sprint to activate my phone for out of country use. It took less than 2 minutes. Once the phone is activated it will always work for the life of the phone. I dont know what my charges are. It's a work phone and when I was away in Mexico, I had work related business to attend to. I dont know what my bill was. Seraphim was helping pay my phone bill while I was in Mexico. You gotta love that!!
OK so how much is the package that include unlimited text and internet on the G3 network?
I'm paying $99/month for 500 anytime minutes, unlimited night and weekend, unlimited text and data. Verizon. This is actually going to save me money (about $55/month) because I can discontinue my broadband wireless data plan that I had for my laptop and use the BlackBerry as my modem and data plan instead. Just gotta carry a USB cable to hook it to the computer now.
Can anyone tell me how to keep the messages I send from my email on my computer from coming up as 'new messages' on the CrackBerry? It's damned annoying. Gmail accts.
Ahh, you found the LGK Launcher. (You can somewhat thank me for that one) I didn't make the launcher but I did put in the request to the creator. He hooked us up!
PS - I have the BB Storm and absolutely love it. Like any new phone of this caliber, it's going to have issues at the beginning. There should be another OS update in the next few weeks. I've taken it over seas twice in the last month and it has performed flawlessly. Just call Global Support prior to departure and they'll hook you up.
No doubt. Viigo!!!!

It's an RSS program so you have all kinds of stuff.
I can only speak from personal experience on my Storm. When I travel over there, I activate the Storm for their networks but use the included SIM. I'm usually charged $.99/minute so I don't use the phone much. What I do use it for while over there is the unlimited data and email.
