Default Is there a data limit on verizon plan?

I have been trying tirelessly to figure out Verizon's $29.99/month "E-mail and web for BlackBerry" plan. It really does not provide any information on the web-browsing part of the plan. Is there a limit to how much "data" can be received each month? Consider me a newbie, it just does not make sense. What is data? Is that loading a standard web page or actually downloading items from the net? If it is browsing, does that mean if you are a heavy browser like me, that you can actually go over your data "limit" each month? Please clarify, it is very confusing. Thanks!

No there is no data limit on the BB Plan UNLESS you tether (sign up for Mobile Broadband as a calling feature and use it as a wireless modem for your computer in which case it is a 5GB cap OR if you steal the feature and get caught you will be charged uber for your data).

As long as you are just using it as a BB then you have nothing to worry about.

Its unlimited up to 5 gigs a month which you will never use that much in a month. So basically unlimited. Go ahead and strike up that internet radio and video streaming. Oh and data is everything you do on the phone except making calls and I think texting. Data is every web page to every app that gets information from the web.

I do believe it says unlimited up to 5 Gigs a month regardless of how you use it. Theres no worries though its nearly impossible to go over 5 gigs a month.

I've done it (only got that high once) and never been charged there is NO CAP period, please stop perpetuating these rumors. They only people they go out and nail are the ones tethering.

But yes it us pretty hard to exceed the 5GB I generally use 2-2.5 GB in a month or less.

From my understanding when I had had VZW srvc, it was UNL Data AS LONG as it was from the device. Tethering was a 5GB limit though.

I just called Verizon. They said there is no 5 GB limit or cap. They said if you use your BB to tether, they can tell and then you'd be limited to 5 GB.
