In a 24hr period I managed to download a total of 8.1GB of Big Bang Theory episodes on my BB 9300 3G. According to some opinions Blackberry isn't the 'slickest' or the 'fastest growing' OS out there but the potential to download a possible 243GB in a 30day month for R59/month makes a big argument in its case

Now if you get a bill at the end of this month for R10k are you going to come back on here and tell us about it?

Yes. Did the OP download it to the phone or his computer? I really don't want that bill.
 
As far as I know, even if it was on his phone, that kind of size will be charged for?
 
Ye lol, hope he knows the unlimited data applies only to a set range of thins

I must confess I did not know that. I don't own a BB. I always assumed that BB Internet on device is free?

Not entirely sure, but as far as I know its limited to certain files sizes. Email only 2.9MB attatchments. Well at least mines limited to that. Saw a thread here saying mp3s are 15MB. Anything over that is charged for...
 
Not sure where OP lives but I am sure we will ALL be able to hear the shrieking when his bill arrives.
 
If he/she downloaded the episodes from a site such as **** (not really sure if I can mention it, not totally legal I think) then it is free for him/her. My girlfriend has the 3G version of the Curve and always downloads episodes of Modern Family and others, it doesn't cost her a cent
 
Yeah I'm waiting in anticipation for his response.
 
forget the smaller numbers.

8 x 1024 to get the number of MBs x R2 + 14%

= EINA OUCH!!!!!!

if they are gonna charge him for that
