      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet f30deebf       REPLY: 1:229/452 4BFD36CF       PID: OpenXP/5.0.50 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0400       Hello Shawn!              ** On Saturday 31.07.21 - 09:45, you wrote to me:               SH> There is no reason for the phone to stop working. The        SH> older java based blackberry's yes 100% will stop as they        SH> did everything through a special blackberry server. THe        SH> OS10 phones are standard, I'm sure all it means is the app        SH> store, bbm, etc will cease.              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.                     --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
