Am considering on purchasing the Bold 9900 from Mobilicity which is $549 compared to $599 at Rogers.

Will I loose any features if I purchase from Mobilicty and use with SpeakOut? Are the networks compatible or do I need to unlock the phone?

----------------------------------------

For any Bold 9900 users; do you find that you are getting the full features of the phone? How about visual voice mail? What brand is your Bold (Rogers/Moblicity/Telus).

2 issues I can think of. Speakout does not support BBM, and it is likely you will be limited to GSM speeds if you decide to use the Speakout data plan.

EDIT: Or maybe not. It is not clear to me if the 9900 supports the BELL 3G frequencies and Wind/Mobilcity. Maybe I am reading something wrong.

Thanks for your response.

Actually I won't need a data plan as I intend on using Wifi. Don't need BBM either.

Just concerned about compatibility issues for voice and texting as I would have unlimited text. Would also need call display/visual voice mail.

$50 cheaper than purchasing from Rogers. I tried asking for a discount and they said that they couldn't match Mobility's price.
