As a business device, definitely, many of us will be traveling together with our device, so as to stay connected with our messages. However, BIS is still essentially a data plan and we are still bound by the standard mobile internet plans – only cover local usage.
So, besides the wifi trick mentioned in the TIPS section, there is also the roaming packages which our telcos offer.

*Unlimited data roaming usage is only applicable on BlackBerry APNs. If you use a BlackBerry device but surf on non-BlackBerry APNs (e.g. Internet APN or e-IDEAS APN), prevailing data roaming charges apply.
To subscribe to the above plans, you will need to have AutoRoam/Pay As You Roam, a BlackBerry device and a BlackBerry Service plan.
To activate: Dial *7626, Select:
Option (1) for 5 Days

Note: you still need a BIS service. When you are roaming, the data consumed will be charged through the roaming packages, not from your BIS.
