I am off to the USA in a couple of weeks and cannot wait to fire the phone up to see if it was the "Blackberry servers are down for PAYG roaming" or the "No Blackberry PAYG in the USA ever" excuse that wins.
Given I'm a miser when it comes to paying for telecoms I only ever use my 'Berry via wifi when abroad and I therefore avoid roaming charges like the plague. My main beef with Orange is the coverage is Sh*t and I'm hoping that the merger with T-Mobile will help sort this out.

£5 a month for 'Berry service seems a steal to me and they will be stopping it over my dead body. There customer service ain't great but nothing like as bad as the BT mob in India that I recently spent 30+ minutes on the phone to, sorting out the small matter of the wrong discount being applied. Just wish they would announce that they were bringing out the 9100 to Orange.
