Default I Meant 8330

I'm looking to add a line to my current sprint acct., and giving my phone to my fiance to set up our family plan. I know its $9.99 to add a line per month, but the data plan for blackberry use is unclear. is it $30 or $50? Thanks. looking forward to my first blackberry.

Im also pretty sure that a BIS personal blackberry account is 30. and the Corporate BES is 50.


Also, i read on here that the BIS account also includes unlimites text, and nav, and tv.....
Not 100% on that, but pretty close.

bio...the plan is $30/month for the blackberry power pack plan; it's the same one i have on my pearl. that plan includes unlimited everything except for unlimited talk...the unlimited talk portion is only included in the simply everything plan ($100). therefore; the $30/month blackberry power pack plan is only a 'data' plan which has to be purchased on top of a voice plan as well.

to waleed...if i purchase a curve to replace my pearl; will the same $30 blackberry power pack plan that i have attached to my pearl now...work on the curve as well? also...for the $100 simply everything plan; is that only for one individual; or can i add another person to that plan for $10-$20 more?

waleed...also; if i'm understanding this right...the $30 paid for the blackberry power pack; would be an additional charge over the $100 simply everything plan right? making it $130.

also...technically, does a person HAVE to purchase the $30 power plack plan in order to use either the pearl or curve? or can someone just purchase the $15 data plan? because from my understanding, the $30 power pack plan is only if someone wants to use the BIS server...but what if i don't care to access that or have my e-mail pushed?

also, bio...it's genOcide; not genEcide...unless it was done on purpose.

You do not have to pay an additional $30.00/month on top of the Simply Everything plan for BIS service. You can pay $20.00 more for BES though.

If you want to lines both on Simply Everything plans you have to pay 99.99 for the first and 94.99 for the second, there is no $10 add a line.

You don't have to have $30.00 Power pack plan on your BB, but if you want data there is no other option. The $15.00 plan will NOT work and the 2 choices are $30 (Blackberry Pro Pack) or $40 which includes BES and PAM.
