Exclamation I NEED HELP GETTING FREE INTERNET FOR UNLOCKED BB 9530 (w/o any type of service plan)

OK GUYS MY PROBLEM IS QUITE SIMPLE.
i used to be on verizon's network, but they pissed me off so i unlocked my bb 9530 (not the vodaphone version btw)and bought a GoPhone sim card from at&t its real cheap unlimited talk n txt for 60 bucks. cool..but now i miss have internet on it cuz after all wats a bb without internet right. so my question is how can i or is it even possible get free internet on my unlocked blackberry storm on at&t's network without purchasing a service plan from them?
i jus need a definitive yes or no answer and if it is possible, how can i get my browser to work...

hope this info helps.
--there are no entries in my service book screen, host routing table, or default browser configuration screen
--it says "qualcomm 3g cdma" on the back (the reason i mention this is because i kno cdma-ness plays a role in all this)
--on my mobile network screen it reads
data services-->on
mobile network--> at&t
network selection mode-->automatic
network technoloy-->gsm/umts
network mode-->3G & 2G
--on the TCP/IP screen the apn settings/authenticaion enabled box's are both checked
apn: apn.voicestream.com
and the username and password for APN fields are both blank

is yall need to kno anything else let me kno and ill find out..thanks guys

The Storm 1 doesn't have WiFi, so you're outta luck.
A data plan is THE solution in your case.

Good luck.

howarmat: nice post :P.

I don't really have much to add
You need a data plan to do data
without it, it's not really a smart phone
gotta pay to play
Seems like T-mobile has the cheaper data plans than @&T or Vrzn,
don't know about their coverage though
