According to Orange's website Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) is not available to Mobicartes:
Quote:
(1) Option Mail BlackBerry Ã* souscrire et valable en France métropolitaine dans les zones de couverture 3G+/3G/EDGE du réseau Orange France pour le service BlackBerry pour tout client mobile Orange (hors mobicarte, forfaits bloqués et offres Internet everywhere).
Further be aware, that if you already have a running subscription for BIS with some carrier, you won't be able to subscribe to BIS with any other operator in the world. Once you subscribe to BIS with an operator, your device is tied to that operator and you won't be able to get BIS from any other operator unless you cancel BIS with the original operator. Even unlocking won't change anything about this, since this is an issue with Blackberry's servers, that don't allow multiple subscriptions for the same phone.
So if you have a running BIS subscription in the States, your Blackberry will only work for phone calls and SMS-messaging abroad.
