    Forgedaboudit, I think he just wanted to share...it's not relevant to your case.

    But this is to what he was referring: BlackBerry World Email 30 Day Booster £15.32

    It's cheaper than any local Spanish option - I have researched all the possibilities

    It looks like I will be using my O2 Hauwei 1752Cu unlocked dongle with the O2 connection manger that installed with the dongle and a Carrefour data sim. I have set up a profile on the connection manager named Carrefour and with APN setting as carrefourinternet, username is blank and password is blank, proxy settings have not been touched. So with this set up I should not encounter any hiccups and hopefully connection will be sucessfull.
    Anyone think this setup is OK?

    Come on, be serious. You would have to have to be on T-Mobile, have a BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Internet Service package and then apply the email package.

    Either way, it's an option for those in that position and who can tether their BB to their computer.

    Let's hope there is a shop and that they have coverage in your location. ;)
