One of the cool things about BlackBerrys is that their very much carrier-agnostic. You can load the OS from AT&T onto a T-Mobile BlackBerry with no problems.
Thanks Rambo! A secondary question.... I'll try to phrase it as accurately as possible:

As mentioned, I currently have BIS registered with Rogers. When I move to the Caribbean, to keep BB services enabled, am I required to keep BIS with Rogers (while possibly de-activating voice and other features to reduce costs)?

If I were to have to do this, I'd be paying CAN $15/month (currently I just use the unlimited emails plan) with Rogers plus the monthly cost of Data & Voice for a plan in the Caribbean. However, if I didn't have to keep BIS with Rogers, I could save the $15/month.

Rambo: Are you familiar with Digicel? By generic plan do you mean simple Voice & SMS plan?
