I'm on an unlimited international data plan, so I'm most certainly not worried about that.

A friend is moving to Paris for about 3-5 months, and wants her BBerry service, but plans to forward her voice calls to her French mobile. Current plan by me: Stick SFR prepaid SIM in BBerry (yes, they offer GPRS service on preparid), and cross fingers. If not, carry two phones.
Sadly GPRS service is not the same as Blackberry service. The Blackberry only uses the GPRS access point for WAP, connections to the mail servers go over a dedicated GPRS Access point name which is hard coded into the service books.
