Hi, well i think the best thing to do is to contact your provider before you travel, because using a smartphone abroad could be really expensive if you just keep using your bundle... so in the website of your provider should be stated how is it handled when you travel, because it would be horrible to come back home after your holiday and find out a tremendously high bill related to your blackberry... if you are planning to stay here in The Netherlands for a while, then you could make your blackberry simlock free and take a prepaid sim card for blackberries while here... like an option... but maybe your provider can help you further with this question Good luck

Two possible scenarios here 1. You're in the Netherlands for a short visit. In that case you can use whatever roaming partner your south african telecom company has here. It will probably work but the data traffic your blackberry needs can be very expensive. Check with your local telecom company 2. You are going to be here longer in which case it would be far cheaper to get a dutch SIM card for the phone and use that. Calling and blackberry data traffic can be a lot cheaper but you will no longer be able to recieve calls on your south african number. Sim cards come in prepaid and with a subscription.
