2 BB devices (different country operators), 1 email BES cloud account

Question

Hello
I have my companys email accounts at 365 from Microsoft and i am using the Cloud service from BlackBerry for my BB users.
One user has MAC computer and has 2 BB devices. One from Romania and one from Greece.
The Romanian (VOdafone) operator is set up to do wireless syncronization with the Cloud Service from Blackberry.
He wants now to have also the email at the Greek Operator.
questions:
1) Can i have the Cloud Service from Blackberry - i think BES to 2 devices simultanuesly?
2) If not can i set up BIS to the BB device from GReece? WIll that work. Only to get the emails. No need to syncronize calendar and contacts.
3) If the above Nr.2 is possible i will download the Blackberry for Desktop software for Mac to do sync manually if possible.
THx in advance

Hello,
I've not used the exact service you are attempting, but I'll see if I can provide what I do know...

If it is indeed BES, then typically one BES environment can have one, and only one, BB integrated per BES account. So the answer would be no. (But, again, not having used the exact service you indicate...)

BIS is actually documented as an access method for the service. Under BIS, each BB functions very similar to a typical email client (POP, IMAP, OWA)...and you can have multiple clients accessing the same mailbox via BIS integration. See this:
KB31310 BlackBerry Internet Service and Microsoft Office 365 services
KB27422 BlackBerry Business Cloud Services for Microsoft Office 365 Provisioning
Again, all of my answers are based on typical BIS and BES services...I do not know if, under 365, things are any different. You might also search, in the public KBs, for additional articles that might be helpful to your situation. Of course, you should actually try to implement this as you desire...and see what happens.
Good luck!
