@Andrew

As long as you have an unlocked GSM BlackBerry you’re going to be able to use it on Fido. As for the $15 email and IM plan, no, it does not include web browsing or support for applications that require data.

Does this mean any non-Fido BBs can get one of these data plans?

And does the $15 plan allow for web browsing?
