I am sharing an Alltel plan with my girlfriend right now. We currently have no data, just the National Freedom 900 with 10 MyCircle and the MyCircle message packs. I have been considering getting an 8703 on eBay to use as my source of communication over the summer (since my family does not have high speed internet) when I am home from college, however I have been told that I would have to pay $45 a month just to have a blackberry on my plan, plus the cost of the data plan on top of that. Is there any way I can have it with just the Connect Pack 3 (that is the one with unlimited mobile web, data minutes and messaging)? Or would I have to get a different phone to do that? I have a Scoop right now but I really want something with a fast internet connection.
I have no real problem paying $40 a month for the blackberry, as I use it FAR more as a mobile computer than I do for phone calls. I like having 'unlimited' (a misnomer really I know) data, text, photo, video.
I want to know if I can use that data plan to connect my netbook thru my curve inclusively w/o extra charge?
