BBM on a cruise

[tour09]

Is blackberry messenger free while traveling on a cruise? (In Mexico)

Most likely not unless you have an international data plan.  You did not state what type of phone you have or the type of plan that you have.

Any data usage while on the cruise is charged at .02 per KB used. Which works out to be about $20.48 per MB. A typical BBM message will use a few kilobytes. So each time you send/receive a BBM it's costing you a few pennies.

If you want to freely use your data while in Mexico or on the cruise ship you can add the unlimited global plan for $64.99/month. You can contact the global support team @ 908-559-4899 to add the data plan if you want.  If you call from your VZW phone there is no roaming charge to call this number.
