29.99 for bis or 39.99 for bes with voice plans. Bis is for personal use, bes is for use with a corporate enterprise server. You can add text packages, and telenav to these as well as other voice features.

Guess where I was roaming?
At my house and work,

No one at retention could explain this either... which is why I left.

OK THanks Ralf!! Question for you why the heck does sprint charge 39.99 for unlimited BB, but only 15 for any other smart device, why the added cost for BB???????????? THanks

another way to put it is if i can check my email and surf the web, what are the added benefits of paying 40 buck for a bb???????? Thanks man

Maybe that didn't make allot of sense, if i can check my email and surf the web for 15 bucks on a smart phone device, why pay 40 to do so on a bb??????

Data volume probably. Even though they're all billed as "unlimited" a smartphone is likely to use less as much internet. With us, they also connect differently.

The other day for my market, not just AT&T stores. He was telling me that AT&T has the lowest prices for BB service out of all the carriers. Can't beat info coming straight from the horses mouth.

Actually T-mobiles basic blackberry service is the same price, and the enterprise service is in fact $5 less than with att. It used to be $19.99 for unlimited data and fortunately I'm grandfathered in so i get to keep the great price. 😁

The blackberry unlimited data for personal use is $29.99/month. If you're connecting to a BES (business server) for ur e-mail it's $44.99/month. For $10 more to any of those plans you can get 1500 msgs (txt, pic, whatever) or for $20 more u get unlimited. If you're going to both get unlimited txt, the family unlimited plan is $30/month and covers up to 5 lines on the plan.
To extend your N&W with the new AT&T it's not $5/month per line, it's $16.99 for the entire family plan.

Don't listen to anything ndragisic tells you he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. The difference between the 29.99 and 44.99 blackberry plans is simple.
The 29.99 plan is for personal email accounts like yahoo, aol, gmail and the likes.

The 44.99 plan is if you get your email through a corporate server.

Both plans include unlimited internet and bb push email and both plans will get the email to your phone is about the same amount of time.

the business server is for companies that use a blackberry server for their employees to get e-mail.. they're connecting to a BES or Blackberry Enterprise Server for corporate e-mails. It allows you to have true Push E-mail. if you're just using personal e-mail, the 29.99 is the one for u.

$44.99 is the smart phone unlimited with 1000 text
to add the $10 for 1500 text you need the $39.99 PDA data connect plan not the $44.99
These plans dont work with the blackberry.
$39.99 blackberry connect...

People like you are the reason people like me have jobs. Some Jackhole spreads misinformation around like butter forcing people to come into the store for a straight answer, with the plan details in print.

Thanks friend.

He botches the plans so badly and then expects us to take him at his word that he wasn't in a roaming area when Cingular sent him the DEON nasty-gram.
