    Correct, where did I say or claim it was available to all phones?
    By omitting the unusual and significant condition that the bundle includes only data routed through Blackberry's servers, you implied that the bundle was available on all phones.

    You didn't, but as this isn't a Blackberry specific thread, it would have been useful if you had done so to avoid readers wasting time looking for a deal which is of no use to them. You are perfectly entitled not to do so however, but I'll bear that choice in mind when reading any future 'advice' you may post.

    I didn't imply anything - you assumed!

    It's called the "World Email Booster" :wall:

    Those three words do not suggest that it is specific to Blackberry. You did make a misleading implication.

    As we live in Spain and use vodafone, our current rate for texts is 0.60€ each. Is the price here to drop as well or would it be cheaper to get a uk sim and pay the roaming charges which appear to be less?

    For sending texts to and from people in the UK, you would indeed be better off with a UK PAYG SIM card. Your Spanish Vodafone SIM when used in Spain is not regulated by the EU roaming regulations, whereas a UK PAYG SIM roaming in Spain is regulated. It would also be cheaper (often free) for people in the UK to send you texts, whereas it will almost certainly cost them more to send to a Spanish number.
