Bell Blackberry Plans?

[Nathan87]

Hi, I want to get a blackberry with bell and I notice that they have blackberry plans for $40 a month for 100 local minutes, 50 bonus local minutes Unlimited Facebook®, Twitter, MySpace® and instant messaging. At the bottom of the page it says that additional data is only $0.05/MB. Now the $50 month smartphone plan includes 500 mb of data, but if you use under 200 mb of extra data on the $40 plan it is cheaper to get. Am i correct with this? Using under 200 mb per month on the $40 plan should be cheaper than just getting the $50 plan ($0.05*200mb=$10).

Does anyone know if this is actually right?
Should i go for the $40 plan or $50?

Here is a link to the bell page that says this

lot depends on your needs...........i currently have the 50 plan......and the most i ever used was 300 mb......lots of emails......browsing etc........i think 50 is better,,gives u little more freedom......if u use apps like score mobile,poynt or whatever that draws data from the internet it could add up......its a hard question to answer ...like i said depends on needs

You can NOT browse the internet with the $40 plan, just talked to my friend who is a rep.

no matter what the bottom of the screen says, as it is for all the plans that have internet capabilities.

the $40 plan is STRICTLY IM and social

you will not get the broswer service books.

so $50 plan or nothing if you plan on using the browser.


also found this in the fine print

Offer ends September 30, 2010

Yup, you can do everything with that plan, and I think all the hspa+ phones have WiFi, and you can capitalize on that as well.
