$10 Data plan?? WTF?!?!?!?!
KSulFeb 9, 2009, 7:20 PM
Is this true?????
A girl in a class of mine has the Storm and told me that she DOESN'T PAY the $29.99 Blackberry plan, she only pays $10!
She's on a plan with her boyfriend (who also has a storm) and they each pay the $10, which SHE SAYS includes EVERYTHING:
*Unlimited Email
*Unlimited Internet
*Unlimited SMS/MMS
I called the customer service, and OF COURSE they don't me that the girl in my class is lying. But all you whizzes out there, is this true????? And if so, what do I say at the Verizon store this Saturday when I go get it???

every blackberry needs the 30$ or $45 (consumer or corp) data plans on their account. i have sold vzw almost 2 years indirectly, and all bb's need data. now if they work for vzw and have a demo/employee line, it might be cheaper, i think employees get 1/2 off mostly everything. i could be wrong though, but i would guess to say she is wrong. although i could be wrong, and it wouldnt be the first time (sorry about the gps thing :/), you need $30 minimum data.

Sounds to me like the $10 is just the extra line charge for a family share type plan...data plans which the blackberry needs are extra
...
i agree with hawkeye.. maybe everyone in her plan has a bb and she doesnt know about the extra $30 charge..
btw..is her storm unlocked? cause my friend is on t-mobile using a curve but doesnt have internet and he pays for 500txt msgs instead of having unlimited.. hes just using the phone like a regular phone..and doesnt have to pay for any extra "smart phone" charge.. or at least thats what he told me LOL!!
...
here is how this breaks down. i work for VZW and there is a $10 package but, there is a hitch.. you only get 10mb of service and its only for windows and palm based phone not blackberries. only 2 exist and that is $30 for bis and $45 bes server.
