Is there a carrier with pay as you go in Vienna? I'm about to go there on vacation so I shouldn't use my work SIM. My device is unlocked, so that's not an issue.

VOX,

There is a huge T-Mobile office in Vienna so there shouldn't be a problem finding a retail store that will sell you a SIM to do what you want. Getting data service on a prepaid plan might be more complicated, if not impossible.

I've used TMo all over Europe with no problems. You might want to check with a local Tmo company store before you leave. Anything that you can buy in the US will be cheaper than if you wait to do it once you get there.

Cheers,

Thanks. I'm in Canada, so I guess I have to wait until I get there. I guess now I have to decide how much I think it's worth, especially if it's just voice. I'm mostly a data user.

You won't be using your bb for a least some work while in europe? Surely you will need to use it for work related emails while on vacation. If so, why not use your work sim?

Well, I have some co-workers who leave their SIM in and see if it works, and they haven't been reprimanded, so I'm tempted to do that. But, if I were travelling for business I'd be asking my manager to sign off on a travel SIM as that gets the company better prices than roaming. I don't think my manager's likely to sign off on a travel SIM for a vacation.

T-Mobile is probably your best choice for a PAYG card. You will not have data services though.

Vox,

I'd at least take my berry if I were you. It looks as if you CAN get GPRS service on a prepaid SIM, which is news to me:

TMobile hotspot WiFi service should also be available for a per minute fee. It used to be that, if you had the $20/month service in the US, they wouldn't bill you in Europe either but that changed last summer.

Cheers,

You can get GPRS, but NOT BlackBerry services on a PAYG SIM.

There is a deeference.
