How to get a iPhone on OS 3.0/3.1 to run on a BB data plan

Most likely a regular Internet mobile plan will suit him.

ok thanks for your reply and please excuse my ignorance on this matter, a believe there's a $10 plan for non-blackberry phones, will that work?

I think it will because the safari browser actually works on WAP.

Thanks for your help! Got it working. Now I have the best of both worlds. Will see if AT&T "says" anything.

Will this work for the Verizon Network? I have a BB Curve 8330.

No because Verizon is CDMA. The iPhone works only with GSM (sim card)

So you all are saying it can only be with an unLOCKED iphone and your blackberry plan must have to 3g built in. I'm very close to buying an iphone but having issues trying to give up my crackberry. I heard that iphone can be used on bb's plan. I have an 8310 and my withdrawal would be a lot easier if it were just a matter of switching out sims.

Asking too much, yes?

If you're using AT&T the phone doesn't have to be unlocked. What you're
really unlocking is the APN. The APN is locked so that a phone is used on
the proper data plan. But as long as you follow the instructions on unlocking
the APN you're good to go.

Note: The APN is locked not necessarily to stop people from using the BB data
plan, but more for people who try to cheat the system. Since the iPhone uses
media net all it requires is a media net plan. So instead of AT&T trying to find
everyone who is paying a lesser plan, this makes it easier for them so that
most people don't even know about the APN unlock.

Yes, I am using AT&T just not the 3g plan. You just sealed it for me. I'm going to order the 32G - 3G phone.

Thanks Forever29.

Thanks Forever29.

Okay cool. Remember one thing though, once you order the phone and get it
your plan is automatically switched to an iPhone plan. You have to wait a
certain amount of time before they let you switch back to a BB plan. It's 4
weeks I believe.

What would I need to do if I was a not yet an AT&T customer? I am thinking of getting a family plan (two lines), one for an Iphone and another for a Blackberry. Is it possible to simply buy an Iphone from AT&T without them adding their Iphone plan? The Iphone will not be activated.

Impossible. If someone did that for you they'll be fired. Nobody is doing it.

You just don't get the visual voicemail with the iPhone and all your email becomes fetch instead of push.

Hi, am new to this forum.Have BB 39.00 t-mobile unlimited data plan and email (no voice). Just bought first gen iphone (think owner upgraded to 3.0 os), supposed to be unlocked and jailbroken, but am having a friend check that out. HOW do you get the iphone to work with the same plan? Switchng sim card gave no internet access.
Would like to keep BB, is it possible to switch back and forth? i hear so many people say "can't be done"...but I am sure it can!!! You apparently can. Help greatly appreciated.

I've only recently switched to T-Mobile on Monday. Today I have been getting
around to this issue that you speak of coincidentally. I've unlocked the APN
for my phone for T-Mobile and I get voice, but no data even running a BB
plan. I need to do some research and see how to get it working. I will let you know...
