Data Costs - How much whilst abroad?

Hi,
my girlfriend is holidaying in Gambia for a week. We are both on Vodafone but is there a charge for contacting her using Blackberry messenger?



Also, does recieving emails cost whilst away?



Thanks

Hi Ellisblade.

Welcome to the eForum!

Blackberry messenger is charged by the Byte, so there would be a minimal charged involved

Emails would be charged to receive, it may be worth having a look at our data roaming charges.

Can I add to this please - I am travelling too and want to know how much it costs to BBM back to UK, or within the same country overseas.

Thanks

Is it cheaper than a text message? I'm guessing yes, but I'd like clarification. Thanks

Hi guys.

To clarify, we can't state how much a BBIM will be - they're very small, but if you spend all days BBIM'ing, this will incur a small charge in proportion to our Roaming Data Charges.

Let us know if we can help with anything else.
