I will be travelling to Spain for two weeks this summer and will need my Blackberry services to keep in touch with work.

I have a Blackberry Torch running on a Canadian wireless carrier (Rogers).

I have read that getting local service via a local provider/SIM will save me lots on roaming data costs. I will need a BES-capable service. My company has its own BES servers, so once I have the service I can activate my handheld via the BES-capable service to our BES in Canada.

I will be in Barcelona, Granada and Madrid over the two week period.

Will I, as a tourist, be able to get a prepaid monthly BES-capable 3G service with a Spanish carrier? If so, does anyone have any recommendations of which carrier might suit the cities I will be in during my visit?

Thanks!
