   Hello Shawn!   
      
   ** On Saturday 31.07.21 - 09:45, you wrote to me:

   I would agree that the BB network and any of its services would     
   be irrelevant and no grounds to "disable" the use of the phone     
   with Luckymobile entirely.  The BB app shop stopped working a     
   long time ago (it was nice when it *did* work though).   
      
      
    SH> I'd play it by ear.  I don't think they would bother.   
    SH> Doesn't make any sense.   
      
   I just thought I'd mention it cuz your Q5 offering is in the     
   mix of soon to be "disabled".   
      
   I'm reading and re-reading the info page on this and it's     
   starting to sound more like a scare tactic inorder to get     
   people to purchase a recommended phone from Luckymobile.   
      
   They do use the words "phone may not function".   
      
   Sure, the BB network of services might go dead, (perhaps     
   Luckymobile is addressing current cooperate BB users) ..but all     
   I'm using is the basic LTE, my own email domains, and the SMS     
   system that Lucky offers.  I would not think there is any     
   technical reason why the phone needs to go "dead" on Jan 4.   
      
   I've grown rather fond of the Q10 now.  If I can add your Q5 as     
   my shop phone and thus retiring the POTS line, I'd love to     
   extend its useability with a BT earpiece and/or a cordless     
   phone that supports cell-hookup.   
      
   The Jan 4 date would be the start of MY new billing cycle in     
   January. If the BB cutoff were a universal technical issue, I     
   would think that EVERYONE would be cut-off on the same date.      
   But I know that other people have different billing periods.
