Blackberry overseas question
I've been searching google for a while now, and can't seem to find the answer to my question. I'm a tech idiot, so bear with me.
I will be going to Europe for 6 months to a year, and I do not want to get the global data/voice plan. It is not worth the cost to me. I've been told that I can either get a blackberry over there that is prepaid, or I can unlock my phone and pop in a sim card from whatever country I am in.
Now here is my question, if I were to put in a new sim card from the country I am in, would I be able to BBM to people in the USA without being charged international rates? I do not know anyone in Europe with a blackberry, but have any of you guys BBM'd with a friend who lives in Europe?
I am with Verizon, and I talked with support for about 20 mins, and the guy was subtly saying that he wanted me to pay for the global plan and won't offer advice on not using them.
