Blackberry Data Pricing

So I am committing what I am sure is a mortal sin by even ENTERING this forum (being employed by the BigPink) however I have a question concerning AT&T service for the sake of my father who has an account.

He is looking at a Blackberry Pearl (The version of the 8120 that AT&T carries) and he's nearly sold on the concept (he needs one, he just doesn't realize it yet.) but his biggest hangup was the cost of the data.

He is convinced it's $40 a month for the standard Blackberry e-mail package. I can't access the AT&T site from my work computer so I was wondering what the pricing runs for the Blackberry Data plans with AT&T so that I can help him find a good match with his current provider.

Actually, it depends on the type of email platform in use - if just accessing an Internet email account (AOL, Yahoo!, Comcast, AT&T, etc), the BlackBerry Personal plan is proper - price is $30/month (or one of the bundles with Text Messagign included). If accessing a corporate email platform such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes, you MUST have the BlackBerry Enterprise plan ($45) and NOT a BlackBerry Personal plan.

Wow? Really? that's kinda high. Ours runs $20 a month, I though maybe he was confused when he told me it was that much.

There was a time not too long ago when Blackberry Data was $39.99, which included all you can eat internet and email, plus some level of messaging. AT&T retired that plan and made it $30 for Blackberry Personal, or $45 for Blackberry Enterprise. Neither of these plans include messaging, which would be extra. The Personal plan is adequate for normal users; the Enterprise would be for people who need access to company intranets or have their email behind a company firewall.
