New 24.99 BB Data Plan

I was wondering if there was a limit to the data usage on the 24.99 BB data plan. I called my local usc rep to find out the earliest i could sign a new contract for a new phone. While i had her on the line i asked about it and she told me that the new plan was limited to something stupid like 4mb. On the website, however, it says "No overage charges". So whats the deal? Limited or unlimited?

Yes...if your company does not require a blackberry enterprise server email, the new bb service is $24.95 for unlimited...if it does require that email then it is $39.95...it just switched over on Friday.

Yes there is a limit. Its only 5mb. If you want unlimited access the 39.99 plan would be it.

Ok it is 24.99 for unlimited BIS Internet, data, e-mail and gps. This is actually still part of the data plans and rules. Per the back of the smartphone collateral

"Smartphone features may not be used for other purposes to serve as a private line, frame relay or other dedicated connection. Such use or use of more then 5GB per line per month may result in termination of service without notice."

Read it on the back fine print of any data collateral including the one for smartphones. This is an industry standard to prevent hosting and other file transferring service or other data hungry dedicated use.

Sorry for the news but as long as your not intending to abuse the service you will be fine and not use the 5GB of data allowed.

Does the $24.95 plan qualify for the $100 rebate, in store pop & web site still read 39.99 voice & 39.99 data required.

Also does any one know exactly what type of mail accounts work with the personal version. Lit shows pop3 and standard isp accounts. I have an imap for my personal and an exchange for work. We do not run a bb e-server and I know work will allow win mobile devices to connect to it but I would prefer the bb of a win phone.

I wouldn't see why you can't use an exchange server.....im not to good with that stuff....but the only restriction from BES is the actual connection to the BB Enterprise Server for encription. To my knowledge you should be fine...

Sorry man, you are wrong.

US Cellular now has 3 plans.

$24.95 with a 4mb max usage. BES

$24.95 UNLIMITED usage. BIS

$39.95 UNLIMITED usage. BES


Check on uscellular.com. Or better yet, ask a rep at your local store. (we... i mean they... get paid when you want to switch!)

sorry man your wrong!!! ☹️ ☹️ ☹️


It is Avertised as UNLIMITED BIS OR BES DATA

BUT it is subject to the data policy and regulations and again for you who didn't read the previous post of mine here is what it says. If you don't believe me pick up the smartphone collateral and turn it around and read (or get someone to read to you)

"Smartphone features may not be used for other purposes to serve as a private line, frame relay or other dedicated connection. Such use or use of more then 5GB per line per month may result in termination of service without notice."
