UK Blackberry

[Buthers]

Hi all,

Moving out to BA from London in a month for a year or more. I was here a few weeks ago for a holiday and made a huge mistake using my Blackberry to make a few calls. So I will now suspend UK contract, unlock my BB, and hunt for a SIM card out here, which I would use for a very few local calls, some texts, plus I probably don't need data services, provided I can still get wi-fi for free around the place as I need email access.

Any advice? Do I need to contact my UK provider for any ID/numbers??

I read several threads about US blackberrys - have any UK users of blackberrys had other experiences? I'm on orange in London.

Any advice appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!!

It should be no problem finding one to do it.!!

Pay-as-you go data is kinda $$ here, and you won;t get a contract w/out Arg. documents. One solution is to buy a Ipod Touch w/ WiFi , you can run Skype, for cheapo Intl calls, surf and do lots more...!

you can also get your BB unlocked on the internet. just do a search. there are a lot of sites which sell unlock codes for $10 or so. Or you can call your UK provider (Orange) and tell them you are traveling abroad and need the unlock code. They should give it to you for free.
here is a link on how to enter the unlock code
