balckberry still active ?
can use which mobile plan to using Blackberry internet service?
hv any solution?

tunetalk and hotlink prepaid still got

Guys WTA if you use your phone to serve internet like lowyat the data will use BIS or your data plan from your cellular provider like maxis???

Why do you need to use BIS? All BlackBerry 10 devices don't use BIS anymore, but they can be reinforced with BES.

I think you're getting the wrong concept.

If you're on BlackBerry 10 device, all data runs on data, no more through BIS. If you're on older BlackBerry devices (which we call it BlackBerry legacy), then it requires BIS because the flow of data is hardcoded into the hardware to compress via BIS.

lol thanks for the reply. Yeah I am a noob here, planning to get a blackberry passport soon. So the package telco offer BIS unlimited is useless?? Have to get a good data plan instead?

Oh, you're getting a BlackBerry Passport. That is a splendid choice for a BlackBerry.


1) Any telco with data will do. Check your coverage for 3G and 4G (if you need 4G, but honestly on a phone 3G is good enough unless you're stream heavy)

2) just go to the Passport section for tips. Although android player is removed there's still a place to download and use it, and its still great.

Ok bro thanks. So just to confirm you don't need to buy a BIS plan from telco. Can just buy a good data plan straight?

Yeap. Get a good data plan. Lately DiGi and Celcom are dishing out good values, umobile too. Check it out. But i'm sure you know your data usage and needs.

Thanks a lot bro...

most welcome. Glad to help
