Switching to BlackBerry, question about BBM
Hello, i currently have an iPhone 4, and i will be switching to BlackBerry soon. I apologize if any of these sound obvious but i have looked around but got different answers.
I currently have a data plan (not the social network plan), a simple 1GB per month data plan. The BlackBerry i will be getting is used, which means it has an activated BBM (if this matters). I was wondering if BBM will work if i just switch the SIM from my iPhone to the BB, as i have no BIS or BES plan whatsoever. I have been getting different answers, one side saying all the data plan from Rogers are already connected to BES/BIS and just the data plan is suffice to have a working BBM, while others argue that i will have to activate BIS/BES. IF i need BIS/BES, is there a monthly payment for this service? Or should i just talk my way though Rogers (on grounds of being their customer for over 10 years) to get it free? Any help is appreciated. |
Re: Switching to BlackBerry, question about BBM
In order to use BBM and any other BlackBerry applications (BB Protect, EMail, etc) you will need to get a BlackBerry data plan.
See the appropriate FAQ: http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.p...ta_Plan_for%3F |
Re: Switching to BlackBerry, question about BBM
BBs are different from other smartphone devices. You need a specific Blackberry dataplan. Your iPhone plan will not work. It isn't free, no matter how long you have been a customer.
You will need to talk to your carrier and check prices and options. Rogers may offer a social medial plan only - no Internet and no email, but you really need to check with them to see what they offer, what is and is not included and the cost.
