About roaming and international roaming

In most cases, your BlackBerry® device automatically connects to the appropriate wireless network when you travel outside your wireless service provider's coverage area. Sometimes you might have to provide login information before you can access a wireless network. When you roam, a triangular roaming indicator appears at the top of the Home screen.

If your device requires a SIM card, your wireless service provider might need to set up your SIM card with roaming services before you can roam.
