Using Blackberry On Orange Abroad

Danny_M

Hey,

I am currently on Orange with a Blackberry Curve 8900.

I am from the United Kingdom, and I am going to Australia soon for 3 weeks.

I was hoping to be able to use my Blackberry over there to access my emails (not too bothered about texts and phone calls).

I logged in to my Orange account and this is what it said:

Roaming - Sorry, your phone isn't set up for use abroad

I am currently on the Dolphin 30 plan.

So does anyone know anything about this? Can I still access my emails in Austrailia from my Blackberry? Is there an upgrade plan for me?

Please let me know, thanks alot

Phone Orange up, ask them to add roaming to the account, roaming is free, however using data will incur additional charges, ask how much these charges will be. Set the Blackberry to roaming mode so it doesn't connect without permission

Roaming on BB is very cheap, due to how efficiently it manages data. I have just returned from the USA after using my BB there for a week, lots of email and BBM's, cost me £10 for 7 days.
