Vancouver - Blackberry GPS (AT&T)

[FlyingPhotog]

My wife's AT&T Blackberry device has GPS and we plan to use it to navigate from Seattle to Vancouver and points around those areas.

 

Does anyone know if her U.S.-based Blackberry GPS will work once we cross the border, and will there be any additional data fees?

It should work, ATT has an arrangement with an operator here in Canada called Rogers. I would suggest that you check with ATT re extra fees as they may well apply.

The GPS will of course work anywhere in the world. AT&T phones will work in Canada on the Rogers network. But definately check with AT&T about roaming charges on data. I assume the Blackberry GPS application downloads maps off the data network. The charges could be pretty steep.

 

I just used my iPhone up there but turned off data roaming when I found out how much they were going to charge. They had data packages for the iPhone but decided to pass. As we were in Victoria for just one day.
