BlackBerry Plans

[bartelsse]

I am looking for as much info as I can get regarding the BlackBerry plans for an individual. in looking at the plans on T-Mobile I have seen many choices but I want some more information on the BlackBerry Internet Service Plans. The write up for this plan as follows "Integrate up to 10 of your existing e-mail accounts and have your messages pushed right to your BlackBerry handheld. Choose a data-only plan with unlimited e-mail and Web browsing, or choose one of our bundled Minutes & Mail plans to add tons of Whenever Minutes®. to these great data features." Any info is gravely appreciated.

the data only plans can either be voice barred or pay as you go for minutes, and they usually come with unlimited sms/mms for your blackberry. If you have a voice plan (any voice plan ranging from 29.99 -129.99 you can add BB internet and mail for 19.99 or Enterprise BB for 29.99 important to note: If you go with a voice plan the BB internet service is an add on and does not include sms/mms hope this helps

After looking on the website a little more and reading about the BlackBerry Internet Service Plans there are 3 choices BlackBerry Unlimited w/ No Whenever Minutes, BlackBerry Minutes & Mail w/ 1000 Whenever Minutes, and the BlackBerry Minutes & Mail Ultra w/ 1500 Whenever Minutes. T-Mobile Internet & E-mail data plans scroll half way down and find my source for the info i have posted.

there are three more options as well that you're not taking into account:
Option 1. Any voice plan with BB Email only for 9.99 additional
Option 2. Any Voice Plan with Standard BB Internet and Email for 19.99 additional
Option 3. Any Voice plan with BB Enterprise service 29.99 Additional

The options you mentioned are the stand alone BB Plans and work great for most users as well

You are right I did not take into account those 3 options thanks for the reminder of the other plans.

keep in mind that if you select a voice only plan then pick a Blackberry Add on from the services.....THOSE do not include unlimited text and picture messaging..........however most of the complete Blackberry plans do......except for the one that doesnt have minutes......which doesnt have the unlimited SMS/MMS

Absolutely correct this is definately info that you need to KNOW

What is a better choice BlackBerry Minutes & Mail 1000 minute or an individual plan with the black berry service tacked on?

Would I be able to switch plans from say the BlackBerry plan to a regular phone plan without extending my contract?

[SmArTeStChIlD421]

well an individual plan with blackberry tacked on wouldnt include messaging......the complete 1000 minute plan will include messaging.......it all depends on whether or not messaging matters to you

[tmobileman]

you can switch to some plans with no contract off of the top of my head I don't know all of them but call and a rep will be able to go over the options with you before you make any changes I agree with smartestchild on the messaging plan
