Data Plans with International SIM Cards (Data Connection Refused)
Please Login to Remove!
So, this is a twist on the fairly common "Data Connection Refused" theme...
Recently bought an unlocked 8700g Blackberry off overstock.com. I'm bouncing between multiple countries in SE Asia, so I figured it made the most sense to buy individual SIM cards for each. I want to be able to check e-mail with my Blackberry, though, and when I plugged in my first pre-paid SIM card, I get the "Data Connection Refused" message (and no browser).
Am I correct to assume this is because the company from which I bought my SIM card has no Data plan? Has anyone had experience doing this in Thailand, Malaysia, or Indonesia? How do I get a browser? Many many thanks for your help and patience with these (I'm sure) completely idiotic questions!
