If you don't need the corporate email, I would do the new 29.99 plan. It's unlimited web and email. If you need to sync your business email, then you need the $45 plan

vip is based on your base rate plan and length of service.

yeah, forget that 10MB plan, go with the $29.99 Webb/mail plan if you don't need the corporate e-mail.

I have used this plan with my BB for over 3 months now. I never go over about 3000 KB, and you get 10000 KB for 24.99. I use the web occasionally, but not much.

It works for me, and it saves me $5 bucks a month, cause I dont have to bump up to the 29.99 plan.

of course...if you cannot activate a BB without paying for atleast the 10mb plan. I only have my gmail account hooked up. I recieve/send about 35 emails a day.

Emails are text-based. They don't require much data. To know if 10 MB is enough for you look at these aspects instead:

File Attachments - if you plan to open/view a lot of attachments, those add up fast, especially pdf files which most schools use for assignments/syllabus.

Web Browser - Text-based web pages aren' the big deal, but a page with lots of images is gonna suck up your data.

Applications - Some applications use a data connection to transmit. Google maps, for example, will transmit image data. VNC software would relay an image of the remote computers desktop. Etc.

Those are what use up a lot of data, text-based emails are very very little.
