BlackBerry Forums Support Community - View Single Post - Orange UK - Data Charges abroad and using Blackberry as a Modem

rncd2010 · 03-22-2010, 08:26 AM

I am on Orange UK PAYG and pay £5 a month for the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) so Internet Access is free up to a prescribed limit.

I have 3 questions:

1) If I access the Internet whilst elsewhere in Europe does the BIS cover me – or will I pay both extra call (roaming?) and data charges?

2) If I use my Blackberry as a Modem away from the UK (via the Blackberry Manager Desktop Software) what is the position then – do I pay both extra call and data charges?

3) Is the answer to Question 2 the same if I use the Blackberry as a Modem only here in the UK?

Thanks for your help. I can’t get hold of anyone sufficiently knowledgeable to answer these questions at Orange!
