BBM use abroad.

I am a newbie to both BB and to BBM.
My BB and Use of BBM is registered in the UK (on Orange PAYG) and I only use the BBM service. I intend to travel shortly outside the UK and want to understand if my UK BBM service will work outside the UK at no additional charges. I know with Mobile calls there is a roaming charge is there something similar with BBM or connecting to the BBM service outside the UK.
Any clarification would be appreciated!

1. I would do as advised above, call the Verizon international help desk.
2. A simple reboot: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.  Most often, that will enable your device to see the other carriers.
3. If still not, on your device > Manage Connections > Mobile Network Options, make sure the network mode or selection is set to "Global".
4. After #3, do another powered-on battery pull reboot.

  • Outgoing calls barred even though I have an addon for 30 minutes to use abroad?

    Bought 30 minutes to use abroad and cant make outgoing calls now I'm here..... cant even call ee??
    Help......

    Did you enable roaming on your a/c before you left? You may still be able to via your online a/c. Buying a roaming pack doesn't in itself enable roaming.

  • HP Slate Tablet use abroad

    I have a HP Slate tablet which I have used abroad with Wifi and it works brilliantly. However next month I will be taking it to Spain and for a few days I will be without WiFi.. The Slate came with its own HP datapass which is fine for limited use in the UK.I have never removed the datapass but understand it is micro sim size?Has anyone got any ideas about what will work in the tablet whilst I am abroad? I must know for sure as I can't risk getting it to Spain only to find it doesn't work......

    Just had a look at the datapass T&C's https://hpdatapass.foggmobile.com/#/terms and it looks like you can top that sim up and use it Spain anyway.
    It also runs on the Three network too Well thanks for that. Who knew? in fairness I have only ever used the Slate over WiFi when abroad. The datapass is only 250mb so I never gave any thought to trying it mobile data wise.Thanks Rich...( I will top up the datapass...and probably get a 3 sim as well just to be doubly sure)...Tardis.....

    Yes, if officially unlocked. Just purchase local sims wherever you'll be going.

  • Does BBM use alot of data?

    Hey
    Just got my BB and wonder does using the BBM and having it on all the time use alot of data?
    i have a 750mb plan and all i use is facebook msn(wlm) and BBM somtimes just google
    will i use much of my 750mb or not
    Thanks in advance

    i couldnt say. it was just that i happen to be only upping, to dropbox, and then saw downloading on the monitor.
    that was triggered as odd.
    i rarely look at what services are going on... only if my macbook slows down or something else odd.
    in both cases i was only upping to dropbox.
    i dont do alot with my macbook, other than upping to dropbox laterly.
    thankyou for your thinking and help.

  • Unlocking a phone for use abroad

    I will be traveling abroad in the fall for three months.  I would like to suspend my Verizon service here and unlock my phone so that while I am abroad, I can obtain a sim card to use in my current phone (droid charge) .  My two year contract is up with Verizon, and I'm paying for the same plan on a monthly basis.  Is this possible?

        Traveling abroad sounds like so much fun isovist! You are able to suspend your account for up to 90 days in order to keep your mobile number. To have your phone unlocked, you need to meet certain account requirements. If this is a 4G device, it is already factory unlocked. For 3G, your account needs to be active and in good standing. You can contact global services for more options with unlocking 800-711-8300.

  • Unlock phone to use abroad

    How do i unlock my phone so that I am able to use my phone while I am studying abroad in England for a year?

    There are requirements to be able to unlock a phone but the iPhone 4 can't be unlocked. You have to add a global plan if you dont have an iPhone 4s.

  • HOW TO UNLOCK TO USE ABROAD

    I'm going out of the country in a month; just wondering if it was possible to unlock my iphone 4s so I may use it there?!! my current servicers is with AT&T and I don't want to pay for roaming.

    Regardless, virtually all carriers do have international access numbers that allow you to use your phone, without roaming charges.
    I've never heard of such a thing. Verizon certainly doesn't. If you use the phone while abroad, you pay roaming fees. Where are you getting this infomation?
    Thanks!

  • Please how can i clear a conversati​on on bbm using a Q10

    I have over 195 messages on bbm and want to clear all please but there is no clear chat there but just end chat which resumes with the old conversation once the person get to chat with you. I need a reply as soon as possible.

    Yea, the other user must also delete the chat, or else the existing chat will resync to your device once chatting with that same user again.

  • HT201328 Unlocking my iPhone to use abroad for a short time.

    I want to unlock my iphone 4 to use with a different country's sim on holiday for 3 weeks. In doing this is my phone then locked to the network of the sim I used to unlock it (which wouldn't be the right sim anyway!) Or is it open to any network sim? My carrier has just told me that it would be locked to O2 if that was what I used to unlock it. And then if I wanted to get it back to be able to use my orange sim I would have to get O2 to then unlock it.... This isn't a viable option and doesn't seem to make much sense! Any help would be gratefully received!! Thanks

    Hello Melissa,
    If you would like to unlock your iphone from o2 to use with any other networks you need to go to the o2 website and fill out an unlock form which you can find here:
    Monthly Contract form: unlocking form
    Pay as you go form: unlocking form
    This will require you to give 2 mobile numbers you contact most frequently and £15 credit on the phone that they will take of after you complete and send the form of to o2.

  • Are iPads in US unlocked and able to use abroad?

    Hi guys,
    I'm really looking forward to buy an iPad Air which will be released on the 1st of November in the US. Apple stated that :
    "iPad Air with Wi-Fi + Cellular can roam worldwide on GSM/UMTS networks. In countries without compatible LTE networks, iPad Air will operate on GSM network technologies such as HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card from a local carrier."
    Which I assume the iPad Air will work just fine in my country (Malaysia), with a local carrier / network. But, one question remains:
    If let's say I want to buy the iPad Air (Wifi+Cellular) via Apple Store and I have to choose either one of these telco T-Mobile, Verizon Sprint or At&t (either one), which one should I choose? Because I'm not planning to use the iPad Air in the US, AT ALL. Well, I'm buying it for a friend who's living in Malaysia though. So, I wouldn't want to pay for bills or commit to any contract (contract FREE)
    I hope someone could help me out. Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Wintannn

    I'm going to run with the iPhone 5s/5c assumption that the Verizon model will be SIM unlocked due to the 700mhz block C LTE band being used in the device. I could be wrong but my fingers are crossed. I'm sure we'll find out on the 1st.
