Default Re: HOWTO: Use BlackBerry on Generic NON-BlackBerry Data Plan

Opera Mini still did a better job of rendering webpages so there was little benefit to this.

BBM has not needed a BB data plan since it was ported to Android (i.e. made available to non-BB phones).

Seriously? The last post to this thread was over four years ago and the thread was started 11 years ago. Not much more needs to be added. And, for the record, BBM did not need a data plan once it was running on BB10.
