I bought an unlocked BB 8520

so i wanted to get the $15 voice + $15 BB add-on.
but the rep tells me that is not possible and I would need
to get the $25 add-on.

I did not see this on the web site. can someone confirm
if this is true?

thanks

I recently bought an unlocked bold (originally from Rogers) online. I added $20 voice and the $15 unlimited Email + IM. Not a single issue while activating it... In fact this rep (lucky?) was fully aware of how to activate unlocked bb. He even instruct me to register it on the fido.blackberry.com, just like Justin's sticky suggests.

There are 2 versions of the 15$ BB data plan

1. Unlimited Email+IM available from any CSR (This one is advertised)

2. Unlimited Email+IM+50MB of BIS data for browsing + downloading from Retentions only and you have to fight hard to get it and pay a good amount on you voice plan to get it.

PS: There is also another Retention Data Plan at 15$ for I-Phone or Windows data that is 150MB for Email+IM+Browsing (AKA Non Blackberry Data)

Be nice when you call about it and you might get it.

I don't think you understood his question. He is talking about the rep not giving him the $15 plan. (Because it is not publicly available)

That has nothing to do with unlocked berries.

I think he got the 15$ Unlimited Email+IM with no browsing.

[Smoove-E]

Browsing will work with Opera Mini on the 15$ Unlimited Email+IM but no BIS services. And confirmed that you dont get billed because in the system, web browsing is blocked so they can't charge it!

Few steps to do to get it going, I will not post it here...PM me if you want the details on how to do it!

great, thanks to you i be adding this to my lines..

thats added extra ARPU for <just in case> usage; since presently none of these have any data plans..!!

[Smoove-E]

Man...I work for TELUS lol

[nawb]

lol yeah i figured i was getting lied to.

The rep told me oh you want the 50mb, ok hold on i cant add that for u only our retention department can add that. then he puts me on hold and comes back and says im sorry but the rep just told we no longer offer this.

im just like why do i have to lie and threaten to cancel, just to get something other people get...

but yeah i didnt bother anymore. i think its cause my voice plan is cheap 17.50 no saf/911. but i have a lot of features and stuff i pay for which does add up,but i guess doesnt really mean much when the csr rep looks at it..

[bartybet]

Can you post the settings from your Pearl?
Also I'd be very interested to hear what happens when you try to use youtube on your unlocked Bold...is it a Rogers Bold btw?

I have an unlocked rogers bold being used on fido with a 6 gig plan. I can watch youtube if it helps anyone.

And if anyone needs a little help to get your bb browser working without bis send me a pm...

I want to buy a Bold 9700, but I'm not sure which carrier version is the best one to buy.. I'm iffy about Rogers because they're all Mexican made and a lot of people have had problems with them. I know Telus is all Canadian made and Bell is half-half. I've heard of people having problems with the Bell versions too. They don't get their e-mails and things so I was just wondering if I should get a specific one?
