    Ah that explains why the Micro-SIM registered itself as being used then when I went to the third shop. See, the lady activated the data bundle but what I suspect she did was made the Micro-SIM the data sim, because when I asked her where my data sim was, she told me that the Micro-SIM had everything loaded on it. When i proceeded to tell her that I want my blackberry phone to run on the data sim, she said that was not possible. In fact, all three consultants told me that I could not do the setup that has been listed. They advised me to go prepaid for the BB as they would terminate BIS on my main line, as BIS and the data bundle can't exist on the main number (this is the exact words of the lady at Rosebank).

    Ockie, could you advise? I'm hesitant to go to another Vodashop to request this because three shops have told me otherwise already. It could be a case of they have never heard of it or major misunderstandings, but I kinda need this to be done, my android is sitting at home. Mind you, I have the best battery life ever, it's now 7 days of battery life
    Jees....this sounds very complicated. It is in fact very simple.

    1. Get your Android phone
    2. If the new phone needs a micro sim...do sim swop for the micro sim...have data bundle activated on the line of your choice.
    3. Ask for Blackberry Data Sim that then gets put into the Blackberry. THEY ARE TO LEAVE BIS ON THE LINE!

    The Android phone will be used for voice and will pull its data from the data bundle. The blackberry can only be used for Blackberry services like BBM and email. Voice does not work on the Blackberry Data Sim. Both phones may be used at the same time.
    Now why you loer en kyk gelyk?
    Is ek miskien van goud gemake?
