Switching Between iPhone and BB 9700 - SIM Swap Only?

When I was on Rogers, I had a code on my account that would allow me to switch between my Iphone and a Blackberry - just swap the SIM.

Can this be done with Bell's new network? Can I swap the SIM between devices and use the full fictionally of both devices? I.E. BIS on the Blackberry?

Cheers

I would think you would need to add the iphone on the BIS website so you can use BIS services on the Iphone. I'm sure there is more to it.

There's a thread on here where someone uses their Omnia 2 on a Blackberry plan and hasn't got charged for it. The Omnia 2 SHOULD use the same plan as the iPhone, so it technically will work, although Bell doesn't want to admit it.

You should try it, goto a few simple websites, and see if you get charged for overages. The only thing the other guy got charged for was tethering
