BlackBerry Unlimited Global Plan Keeps Users Constantly Connected During Travel Without any Additional Fees
Costs of BlackBerry Messenger included in package
today confirmed that its BlackBerry plan offers Unlimited Data Services in 120 countries around the world while roaming without any additional charges regardless of usage in these markets. Subscribers can use the BlackBerry service and all its applications across these 120 countries without any additional charge. This announcement came in response to an email hoax, which wrongly informed customers that they could face charges for using their BlackBerry.EtisalatEtisalat's roaming agreements cover most of the popular destinations around the globe through partnerships with 330 international operators. To learn more about the countries the BlackBerry service is offered in as well as other EtisalatEtisalat services, subscribers can call EtisalatEtisalat by dialling 101.
According to Essa Al Haddad, Chief Marketing Officer at EtisalatEtisalat
, "EtisalatEtisalat is the only operator which offers such a plan whereby our customers can enjoy the BlackBerry service even while roaming without any additional fee regardless of their usage. As long as our customers are able to enjoy the BlackBerry service while roaming all usage charges are included in the BlackBerry package." He added: "Our customers can enjoy a wide variety of BlackBerry applications and services which introduce a lot of value and savings like BlackBerry Messenger, Internet browsing and email in addition to many applications like Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, WorldMate Live and GPS."
In response to another enquiry, EtisalatEtisalat
affirmed that the popular BlackBerry Messenger service does not incur extra charges for usage.Al Haddad added: "BlackBerry Messenger is one of the most attractive applications that allows users to send instant messages and files to each other free of charge with all data usage included in the package."
EtisalatEtisalat also responded to queries from subscribers about service delays in the BlackBerry Messenger. Due to an international network connection issue related to expansion of the BlackBerry network, some BlackBerry customers may have experienced some delays with BlackBerry Messenger service last week. The issue has since been resolved in coordination with our partners and the service is now working at peak performance.
BlackBerry users can also benefit from the applications portal that EtisalatEtisalat has to offer in order for them to increase productivity and access a wide variety of applications ranging from navigation to document management applications. Users may visit the portal at (bb.etisalat.ae) through the BlackBerry browser, to download and use these applications.

The statement is somewhat misleading.
"Etisalat is the only operator which offers such a plan whereby our customers can enjoy the BlackBerry service even while roaming ...."
This does not pertain to all customers. It only pertains to Postpaid GSM customers. I am a WASEL subscriber who has an unlimited Domestic package. During my annual leave, I intended to upgrade my package for a month to Unlimited International. I was duly informed that unlimited international blackberry package is not applicable for Wasel.
For that I need to convert my connection to Postpaid first .. then deposit AED 2,000/- to roam internationally (which is really irritating - rather than having a limit Etisalat uses this procedure) and then apply for Unlimited International. With such a big hassle I just decided to forego my desire.
