BB Data

Hi everyone,
I know this has been discussed before, but I just wanted to confirm: When you have a BB device, you MUST purchase a monthly data plan, even if you decide not to use it for e-mail. Like if you get the Pearl just for the "dazzle" of owning a BB, you still need to get the data plan right?

A friend of mine is trying to convince me that he can get a BB device on T-Mobile w/o a data plan, but I think that's incorrect.

Thanks in advance!

Blackberry's software automatically pings the internet using data periodically.

Therefore you must have a data feature. It's not an ABSOLUTE requirement. But if it's not there you'll get charged for data.

Why on earth would you want one without the data plan? I mean, that's part of the dazzle.

You can disable data on the BlackBerry so it doesn't do that.

with vzw you do have to have a data plan. i would figure it would have to be the same with all carriers due to a RIM requirement. you can get an unlimited plan for only 29.99/month with no bb enterprise email or a 10 mb allowance for 24.99
