Hello people,

I'm trying to gather info on the best price plans for BlackBerry around the world.

In the USA, best prices seems to be T-Mo for $20 unlimited on a BIS plan.
Verizon and Sprint still seem to charge $40.
AT&T charges $30.

For readers who are NOT in the USA I'd really like to hear how much you are paying for service. I'm particularly interested in BIS rates, not so much BES.

Any thoughts from around the globe?

You should be able to locate foreign tariffs on the carrier sites.

dc/dc,

Yes, for many english-speaking countries this is pretty easy, and in particular for the well-organized sites from Voda, O2, etc. Where it gets tough is for latin america, asia, and other foreign sites where the language is not something I understand (and translator pages don't help much because lingo is so specific to the business) and in cases where the websites are not well organized.

Example: Try getting the best pricing info off the Telcel site in Mexico. Or how about other countries in South America? It's not that easy.

I definitely appreciate your effort to help though. I appreciated your reply.

This was one of the most diplomatic responses I have ever seen.

I think tmobile USA has the best price for international use because with either the BIS or BES plan, you can add on unlimited international data for only 19.99. Combined with BIS, you pay ~40 dollars and you don't have to pay extra for data related roaming charges. So for 40 dollars, it'll be pretty hard to beat tmobile worldwide use.

Telcel price is $ 343.85 pesos

Telcel is 31.50 dlls but it just work national, if you try to use it international you are going to get charged for about .30 dlls per kb transmited, or something like that. It is to expensive.

I do not know why we pay too much for the mobile services ....

For example if I make a call using my telcel BB be in US they charge me 2.00 dlls per minute, it is to expensive....
