Save On Roaming Charges By Unlocking A Blackberry

Unlocking a Blackberry may seem out of the question right now since your mobile service provider has everything you need. But once you travel outside your country, you will see how much you can save by unlocking it.

First, you do not have to be stuck in an exclusive network. Since networks try to outdo each other by coming up with the latest offers or promotions, you can use any of them at any time by purchasing the right SIM card with the best offer. This also means that you can sign up for offers or features that are not tied up for one year. You can go with a new plan or even a prepaid plan any time you want.

Another benefit is that you do not have to sustain roaming charges when you go abroad. When you go abroad, the cost of calling in another country is higher than local to local cell phones. Therefore your foreign counterparts may even think twice about calling you or sending you messages. Aside from that, receiving calls would also cost you more than double. However, if you have an open line Blackberry, you can simply buy their prepaid SIM cards and you are accessible at half the cost.

Aside from that, your contacts back home can easily send you BBM messages or emails through your Blackberry. Just about everywhere around the globe has their own Blackberry packages which give you the same features as you have back home. Now you have everything you love about using a Blackberry without being charged double for international fees.

Unlocking a Blackberry lets you be accessible locally which means you get to call or text while abroad at the local rate. And you still get to communicate back home for free by BBM or emails. All you have to do is to pay for their data plan and your cell phone is good to go. Most data plans are data based or time based. If you will stay for less than a week, then it is best to go for time based subscriptions that let you have unlimited data access for a period of time. However if you intend to stay longer, then start with a 350 MB data plan and simply recharge your mobile credit when you have consumed it all.

With new models coming out each year, unlocking a Blackberry will prove to be practical. It means that you can easily sell an older one to anyone, regardless of where they are based or from which cell phone service they are subscribed to. Cellphone owners who often travel outside the country will love the convenience of an unlocked Blackberry as well.
