   I would have thought so too.  I don't think I rely on any BB-    
   specific network services either. I thought that I get my SIM,     
   register the device with the ISP/phone service, and I am good     
   to go. What does that process have anything to do with the BB     
   network?   
      
   But if you go to the /blackberry link that I saw mentioned in     
   that message, luckym.ca/blackberry, it appears that they are     
   proclaiming that a variety of BB "Devices that will no longer     
   operate"   
      
   Perhaps this is just an obfuscated way of saying that only the     
   BB network of services will cease, but not the phone using the     
   Lucky network?   
      
   But it seems to me that Lucky can simply disable my account     
   since they know that the IMEI pertains to a BB device if they     
   want to.  That is a bit diconcerting.
