Below is the announcement made by Glo regards the discontinuity of Glo BIS data plans
"Dear Customer, starting December 17, 2016 BlackBerry
services on your device (BBOS7 devices) will no longer be available. You can
still continue to use the device to Call and Text. We request you to migrate to
a BB10, Android, Windows or iOS handset to use your remaining data".
From the statement above, higher Blackberry devices running OS 10 and above have nothing to worry about.

In conclusion, if you are using one of the Blackberry phones mentioned earlier, it is very much advisable, you start looking for alternative phones preferably Android phones as they are cheaper and offer more functions and apps.
