Blackberry International Unlimited Plan

Hi Guys,

I have an urgent question for you. I'm a cingular blackberry user with the Unlimited international plan... the one for 64.99 / month. On the site it mentions that it gives you unlimited emails... however, I'm curious does it also include unlimited web-browsing using the phone's browser like it does in the US? Or is that charged separately?

Any responses would be appreciated.

I've used this on several occasions, in several countries. You can surf with impunity, all for the low, low price of $64.99. It's actually a pretty terrific deal, when you think about the bill you would rack up if charged by the kb.

have the same bb international unlimited on a e61, works great, only problem is that each month i have to call cingular and tell them to correct my bill. I have heard many different explanations why i was charged with roaming, but when you tell them to read up on the plan, they always gives you the credit... just wish i could get the BB international plan with north american calling plan.

you're getting charged with roaming because the blackberry international plans are for RIM devices ONLY, there is no blackberry connect international plan for non-rim devices. it's probably customer care that you're speaking with that really don't know much about blackberry's or pda's so they just credit the charges.

if you have a blackberry with a blackberry international plan, you won't be charged roaming. that's what a bb international plan is for. it does also require a 1 year commitment if you switch to the plan.

Is that a new requirement? That's interesting as I've added and removed it after using it for a month or less...

Interesting .. I'm going to be traveling for about 4 days and will subscribe to the "BlackBerry® International with Voice $64.99 per month" plan. When I return in 4 days, I'll call to remove it from my account, I will be charged a pro-rated amount, yeah?

Also, I currently have the tethering plan for $74.99, will I still be able to tether w/ the 64.99 plan?

THANKS!

I added this today again for an upcomming trip to Europe and was told that it requires a 1-year commitment and has an ETF of $175. WTF?!?!?
