What is the best Blackberry I can buy to use in Ireland and the U.K. in June? I am traveling there 4 one month

Question

Which Blackberry should I buy for use in the U.K. and Ireland? I will be travelling there for one month. Is there a USA server that works in London and Ireland? What is the cheapest plan? I need to get e-mail while away--and make telphone calls, too.

Answer 1

If you already have a cell phone, contact your service provider.  If you have AT&T, it will cost you about 65/month for unlimited e-mail in 140 countries, including the uk/ireland.  If you call while "roaming" expect to pay $.99/min while talking either back to us or to the country you are in.  I am from the U.S and currently vacationing in the UK and  I am trying to comunicate as much as possible through email to try and keep the bill low.  I am using a blackberry 8310 and have had no problems with it thus far, I chose this blackberry because it has a full keyboard to make typing easy.  It also has a 2 mega-pixel camera, and built in gps for when i am home in the US, it can navigate me to the nearest starbucks.  good luck and have a great trip.
