Q: Besides roaming, is there a way to access BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) in Beijing/China?
Besides international roaming (which costs a fortune), is there a way to access BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) in Beijing/China?

Hey Jona,
Yeah, you can get the regular BB features activated at China Mobile (try the bigger ones closer to areas with expats, they'll be more helpful). They call it the "Blackberry Package" or something along those lines. It's pretty simple to get done, but you'll have to register your phone or number first (i'm not sure which 'cause my Chinese is bu hao, but i know they registered something), and to do that you need to have your passport and that card your sim card came in (hopefully you've kept that).
Hope this helps
The phone company should provide that service. If professionals aren't able to do it, it would be nearly impossible for you to do it yourself. Some smaller chain phone stores may not be able to do it so you would need to find a bigger one with the capabilities to do this. You will also have to see if the store your at deals with blackberries.
