Greetings, everyone.

I know i'm new here and i'm sorry if a) this has been answered somewhere else (although i did search, to no avail) and b) if this is not the exact section to put this question in, but please let me try, and redirect me if needed:

The situation is as follows:
Vodafone in Portugal has:

1 - BB BiS (5 accounts, 10MB) - fine, got it working
2 - Something called "vodafone email", which is a 100MB data plan (which i wanted), BUT they are saying that 1) and 2) are not compatible, as 2) requires Windows Mobile, and the BB is not supported.

I have endlessly asked for a data plan, as i want more than the 10MB, but they say... it can't be done.

I asked if i could get 2) anyway, as my reasoning is "hey, if it's really DATA, you don't care i use Windows Mobile, right? You can control my traffic anyway".

Their answer: "no, as 2) requires a different connection profile, and (guess) 1) is not compatible with 2). If you want 2), you will not be allowed to have VOICE CALLS".

I think this is extremely odd. I'm not a guru of BB profiles and carrier compatibility, but i'm getting pissed with Vodafone not wanting to give me ANYTHING except my BB 10Mb BiS.

I would like to ask Vodafone users out there, in other countries, to please tell me which plans Vodafone has in those countries.

I have one contact inside Vodafone's HQ here, and i know exactly what Vodafone has worldwide, i can relay the info to her, and she might knock some doors and ask why the hell they are not providing me with what i need.

I have contacted another carrier here (TMN), who has a 7.5xxx8364;/100MB data plan, and they told me "well, if your BB can access the internet, our data plan can fit you". And they have BiS too.
But I just can't change immediately because my BB is a corporate one, and we're "stuck" with Vodafone for another 17 months.

Thanks in advance for any and all help, it is humbly appreciated.

If you pin me the international number, ill call them and see what I can dig up. The thing about WM or BB is true though, as they do use different protocals because you need a different connection for rims servers.

So pin me the international number (I'm calling from the US) and ill see what I can find out
