Data Plan / Text Question for VZW reps
I just activated another line on my account, to use with a Blackberry 7250. I am getting charged 9.99/mo. for the additional phone line, 44.99/mo. for the unlimited data plan. The tele-sales rep told me I would get charged per each text message unless I had a txt plan, even with the unlimited data plan? Is this correct? It doesn't make sense to me that an unlimited data plan would still incur costs for text messages. I hate to quibble over $5, but I already spend $150/month, and this is going to add $60 to that. Thanks for any help.

Yes this is correct. the data plan is for your internet and email. on any device this is how it works. just a plain phone not a pda or smartphone or BB. Vcast is separate from pix and text and mobile web is separate from pix and text. however you can have people text to your email and you can email to a phone (phonenumber@vzwpix.com) with out a pix or text plan.
