SOURCE: How can I activate blackberry messenger on blackberry 9930 in south africa
You first need to buy R60 airtime for the network you are using such as MTN, Vodacom, Cell C etc. That R60 will be the amount you need for (BIS) Blackberry Internet Service. You need BIS to enable BBM (Blackberry Messenger) to work. Once you have topped up your airtime with R60, you need to dial *141*11# which should bring up the option to activate BIS. Choose BIS and not any other option. BIS is usually option 1, but just make sure you select to activate BIS. Once BIS is activated then you can go onto BBM (Blackberry Messenger) and you should be able to send messages. You then have internet access as well. The great thing about the BIS is that it lasts for a month, without you needing to pay anything after the R60 to send as many messages as you like for free on BBM, plus you can use the internet on your phone as much as you like too! I am experiencing a problem getting BIS on my Blackberry Curve which I shall ask a question about on this site!! Good luck :)

Hello @leonsteynsbu (USA to RSA transformer:
If you live near Midrand or Johannesburg areas, you could try RS Components (Radio Shack) in Midrand, or RSE Electronics in Village Main, South of JHB.
I'm sure Zoom (Gadget Electronics Store) at Eastgate Mall used to keep those, but it seems they have moved or closed.
Also try shops at airports, as they used to keep smallish VAC converters.
