Hello Shawn!

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).

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.
