wtf does this mean?
you say its unlimited yet still cap d data

If you are using a blackberry device you will understand what that means! BBM(Blackberry Messenger) just like yahoo messenger works with data, so what etisalat means by unlimited BBM is: even if you use up your capped data your BBM will still be working

I nearly ran mad when I subscribed for Complete month with my glo and they gave me 1024MB instead of 3GB. These networks are very wicked finally...

All am seeing is BBM... What of other internet activity?

don't be fooled, the Eazy blaze plan works just fine with the Z10. i subscribe to the 6GB plan for N8,000 and i get an extra 30% which comes out to approximately 8GB for a month. The beauty of the easy blaze is its ability to roll over your data. for example, if you have 2 more days before expiration and still have about 4GB of data, you could easily top up N1,000 and subscribe for the 200mb. This extends your data plan by another month leaving you with a total of 4.26GB (4GB rolled over data, 200mb new data and 60mb for the 30% bonus on the 200mb)

ur on point, something to work on...
Geting on ma laptop with the believe

^^^there's a way out^^^ nd hv got to prove that...

i can't just work with this limited data plan...

yes you feel me just that etisalat is very poor in my areas. I'd have use the network since. In a security system there's always a blueprint

i think this data cap will free their network

i think this data cap will free their network. not a bad idea any way

Seun.A.Plonker:
Madness! This will kill BlackBerry itself.

The price quoted is exactly the same is their standard data plans. The extra however, is that BBM would work with or without your data allowance. So any dat bundle plans would work for the BB10!

Dr henry saint: This pple re mad,
Hw much una give me to keep?
This is a pure slap on our face!!!
NCC should do something b4 this pple use us for money ritual

Aren't you funny?

The question has come up over and over (and over) again -- do you need a BIS plan (aka BlackBerry data plan) from your carrier to use a BlackBerry 10 phone? The short answer is no, you don't. You can use a standard data plan with BlackBerry 10 devices and everything will work just fine. Pre-BlackBerry 10 devices required a dedicated BlackBerry/BIS plan to get all features working - BBM, browser, email etc. On BlackBerry 10 however, you can just use the same smartphone data plan that works for iPhone or Android as well.

There are a few catches here however. Yes, you can also use a dedicated BlackBerry plan with no problem. That means a full-out BlackBerry data plan, no an individual feature plan. Plans that feature segmented data streams, like BBM/email only or "social plans" are currently no good on BlackBerry 10. So if you're swapping over from another platform, BlackBerry 10 makes things easy in that you don't even need to swap your data plan with your carrier. If you're currently on a BlackBerry plan you are good to go as well.

Remember too that if you're coming from an older BlackBerry or a different platform, you most likely have a full size SIM card that won't work in the BlackBerry Z10 or BlackBerry Q10. So for that you will need to hit up your carrier to get a new SIM card. (You can cut down your current SIM, but we don't recommend doing that - at all) While you're there make sure your plan is up to speed since the new devices offer LTE - so if you have an older plan/SIM you will want to upgrade.

When it comes to enterprise users who will be running their BlackBerry 10 phones via a BES10 server, a special BlackBerry BES plan will be required - so nothing has changed there. Being on BES10 is what enables features like BlackBerry Balance to function. However, if you're in a business where you're going to be running your BlackBerry 10 phones alongside iOS and Android devices with no BES in place, then no BlackBerry data plan is required - you're in the same situation as a consumer.

Update: Rogers contacted us and told us that for BB10 devices you don't even need a BES plan to connect to BES10 - only older BBOS devices require a BES.

Hopefully that clears things up, but just to refresh:

Yes you can use any smartphone data plan for the Z10 and Q10
Yes, a dedicated BlackBerry plan will still work
No, you can't use a feature plan like email only or BBM only
Yes, you need a micro SIM card to use in the Z10 or Q10 (or a iPhone 5 nano card in a micro SiM adapter will work too)
Yes, BES users still need a BES plan
The whole data plan story surrounding BlackBerry 10 has been a little under communicated and a bit confusing, so if and when any of these things change we'll be sure to update this post.

mr.drizzy:
lol boss that naija for u..no more unlimited on bb,very soon bb users would switch to the all populous android

That's so untrue! The old existing bb phones were designed to use a BIS data plan. So this new bb10's data plan can't and won't affect the old existing bb users.

did u jst copy and paste?

360MB for N2000 does not make sence.

mr.drizzy:
did u jst copy and paste?

What does it look like? i copied and pasted. Do you have a problem with that?

xreakz:

Xreakz, ignore "Mr. drizzy", u did a great job sourcing the information and pasting it on this thread for those who need this assistance/help with the topic, (I personally already knew about the BB10 flexibility in data plan before the launch of the device). U even pasted the link where u got the post, so i have no idea whats drizzy's point.

The BB10 plans have since undergone some reshuffling
The new Etisalat BlackBerry plans offer all the BBM you’ll ever need with unlimited access for the duration of your plan. Even when your data runs out, you’ll be able to chat on BlackBerry Messenger, as the service is not charged from your data bundle. In other words, they shouldn't just call it unlimited, but BB10 plans with unlimited BBM.
