    Im new to this forum and somebody told me that this site was a great place for everything Blackberry.

    Anways Im about to buy a Blackberry Curve 8330 soon and I wanted to know if the "Simply Everything Plan" is a good way to go. It comes with unlimited internet and messaging, Web surfing, email, Sprint music, text, video and music. Also I believe that you have to pay for Sprint TV if you dont have the unlimited plan, does anybody know the price for the TV if you buy the 450/900 plan. I think you have to buy BIS too, and can somebody explain what that means too.

    Also for example if I buy the 450 plan $69.99, how much those it looks like after taxes.

    Thanks in advance

    If you. Buy the 450/900 plan the only limit is onb talk. For the extra 10/20 bucks get the iimited everything. No matter which plan you go with BIS and TV are included.

    You just have to decide on how much you want to spend a month. The 450/900 plans are only limited on talk time. All three of the plans include tv.
    I hope this answers some of your questions.

    I have the simple everything plan (450) and am very happy with it! My friend didn't get the same plan but did check out Sprint's TV cost $9.99 a month. I haven't gotten my first bill,yet but sprint told me that it would cost me about $75.00 a month with 450 simple plan with taxes. Oh well, I sure love my blackberry curve 8330!

    Was/is the 450 enough for you. I think it would be for me because I will be at school and at work in the morning and day. I like the fact that the nights start at 7pm.

    When I look at what people pay in terms of overall cost, it seems like it would be cheaper or just cost effective to go with the $99 simple everything/blackberry plan.

    I love it because I no longer have to ever concern myself with going over minutes before the cycle starts over and no more night/wknd minutes starting at 6/7pm is another plus.

    I plan on going with the $99.00 simply everything plan when I buy my Blackberry Curve this Thursday. Like the above poster stated I will never have to worry about going over my minutes.

    Wonderful decision! The last plan I had was 2000 any time minutes w/ N/W starting @ 6pm. I had that plan for several years.

    I would still have it if it weren't for SE/BB @ $99. Couldn't beat that anywhere.

    Simply everything user here as well. Like th UPS store commercial says "don't you worry bout a thing". Text, talk, and surf all you want. Its fast, unlimited, and you get one of the largest mobile broadband networks. You can download complete songs in seconds.

    I don't have a SEP plan. I've noticed a lot of the SEP the common features are already available in the $30/mo blackberry pack. I'm a shared fair and flexible plan (it's an older voice plan) and just add the blackberry pack to my line.

    The blackberry pack includes unlimited internet/messaging (BIS), unlimited domestic texting, navigation (sprint's version of telenav is included), and Sprint TV. To me this is enough stuff for my phone. The main drawback about the $30/mo blackberry pack is it does not include laptop tethering.

    The SEP gives you the tethering, more tv content (on demand tv), unlimited push to talk (which almost no decent blackberries support), sprint music store access, etc. These extra features aren't worth much to me.

    WRONG! There is no change to Sprint's BB plans.

    True. The diff is the $30 plan supports only BIS. The $39 plan supports BIS and BES. Both include unlimited data, unlimited text, Sprint TV/Radio, and Sprint Nav. Seems like a pretty good deal compared to other carriers.

    hey i have a question too, i have a pearl and i want a curve, does sprint make you get a new plan if you switch phones like that

    I can't see any reason why they would since it's one bb to another. They might try to get you to upgrade to SEP since they're promoting it heavily, but you wouldn't have to.

    The only other reason I can think of for a plan change is if you change the feature list like adding BES support. That seems to be the primary diff between the $30/month and the $39/month BB data pack. I think those are the only two choices.

    Only if you are buying the phone at full price you won't have to sign a new contact if you are using a upgrade you have to sign a new contract

    True. I was just thinking about the new phone forcing feature changes to an existing plan.

    I pay $15 for unlimited text and $15 for power vision pack on my Treo, so me switching to the $30 BB pack makes no difference.

    I just can't wait for my Curve to come in next week.
