If you're currently xpax user, they'll ask your number for sure. If you're new user, they'll ask you to register with xpax

They will set your number so it can accept BB service (BIS), but it is up to you, whether you want to activate it or not (by SMS). So, base on that, it is possible to buy the BB device without activate it.

But what for BB unit without the BIS, you can't really enjoy the device.. tongue.gif

the lack of 3G is definitely a let down, and the 2 megapixel camera... sigh... i'd live with 3.2 megapixels but my budget only permits me to consider this BB... hmmmm...

I just bought a BB 8520. and mostly i live with the wifi on it.
Trust me you can live without 3g, because 3g in Malaysia still sucky.
Unless you always use 3g video call then 3g is important to you.
if not then you can consider getting BB 8520

We still need GPRS/EDGE/3G to use BIS & BB Aplication, without BIS ur BB just like ordinary phone + there is no 3G for BB Curve 8520 model..GPRS/EDGE only..

Agree, but EDGE will serve you quite well as I think the 3G in Malaysia is not that good enough.....

if u activate the non promotional package then u can get it on the spot! there's no such thing as only 2-3 days can activate, they just tell you that because they can't figure out how to offer you the promotion BIS package haha...they're sooooo BAD!

Is it true that without BIS , the BB cannot use MMS , web browsing etc ...
Planing to try the BB 8530 without the BIS ... I just want to clarify that can i just use the BB as like a Normal phone for
Calls , SMS , MMS , wifi web browsing . and i read some forum the BB is slower if not use with the BIS

What Application could be use and what can't be use if without BIS ? blush.gif
maybe later only subscribe the BIS as the prepaid can on and off the plan rite smile.gif

I am satisfied with the EDGE connection, mainly bcoz I dont do heavy

browsing, but yes, I think it is suffice for mild usage. Anyone created

a messenger group for BB 8520 yet? biggrin.gif
