[urrutiale]

I've had a Blackberry for one year here in Damascus and haven't managed to get the service to work so far, the phune is unlocked so I can use it with the local carrier (Syriatel) which does not support blackberry services mainly for being a technology that doesn't comply with the US sanctions that we have here, however I can akso use another simcard that has the international roaming services of my venezuelan carrier activated, which works everywhere in the world but here.

Can somebody give me a hint here? I'm only interested in using the messenger to be in touch with my family and friends around the world, maybe there's a way using wifi but there are really very few hotspots in the city, I think I can even count them with one hand...

Many thanks,
