    Does anyone know if it's possible to bridge or tether a Straight Talk phone with the PB?

    Are there even any BlackBerry's on Strait Talk? If not then bridging is out. But there might be an Android phone on there that supports it. I would first see if any of there plans even support it. If they do then they have to offer a phone that does.

    Quoted from the terms and conditions:

    7. STRAIGHT TALK UNLIMITED PLANS CANNOT BE USED FOR: (1) access to the Internet, intranets, or other data networks except as the device’s native applications and capabilities permit, or (2) any applications that tether your device to a laptop or personal computer other than for the use of Wireless Sync.

    No problem. Actually stuck at work but I'm right next to a bar so at least I get to listen to others have fun all night
    But if they will let you bring over a BlackBerry, then so long as you have the Bridge app installed on it, I see no way they would ever know. So that something to think about...
