BBM uses data, right? Wouldn't there be outrageous per kilobyte charges? Or does RIM have deals in place to get around that somehow?
- pero 16y agoData on a BB is routed through RIMs servers. BB users generally aren't charged data if the track is intra-RIM. It's also compressed and encrypted.

- brown9-2 16y agoI think unexpected is referring to ridiculous charges just for sending a text message, yes data would still apply.
- pero 16y agoNot for BBM messages.
- unexpected 16y agoI've used BBM a lot overseas, but have never been charged an "international data" rate. So I would speculate that somehow it's avoided.
