Foreign SIM in Blackberry. Email?
Okay, here's my theory, which I tested yesterday, but would like to see if anyone has any experience.

I took my unlocked TMob 8700g, and stuck my coworker's ATT/Cingular SIM in it. I still got my e-mail, and all my PIN functions worked (it had an EDGE signal).

If I travel abroad (assuming to a country that has BBerry service, EDGE/GPRS), and put a prepaid foreign SIM (say Orange or SFR in France) in my phone, do you know if/think that I will still be able to recieve and send e-mail?
