No App World for me: best T-Mobile data plan?

[8220flippin]

Hello BB people
After some constant forum searching I guess I'm realizing that in order for app world to work, you have to have a data plan. I've tried several times to download to my phone and it won't take. My question is, what's the best data plan out there from t mobile that's not a wallet buster so that I can enjoy some of these features?

You need a blackberry account ! I just signed up through orange and it costs £5 a month for unlimited e-mail and browsing !

What you can do is what I did...
Call up T-Mobile USA, tell them you want to add the free BlackBerry Feature Enabler add-on. It will allow you to access the App World and have some limited Internet access.

With it I can use Opera Mini over EDGE network, setup an email account, use App World and various other apps that normally use a data plan (Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo Go, etc.). The only thing I can't do unless I switch to a Wi-Fi connection is use the BlackBerry browser to go on the Internet.

It's worth a shot... like I said, works perfect for me since I don't want or need to spend a ton of money per month to get the BIS service.

That sounds pretty good, I just might try that....thanks guys.

Call tmo and ask for the $19.99 unlimited everything plan, works fine, and honestly $20 isn't that much.

Well, I contacted T Mo and after juggling around some calling plans and services, I ended up settling for the $24.99 plan with 400 messages. Hopefully this will open up my BB flip to a lot more possibilities.

HHmmm, I wasn't offered that plan, I wonder. Plus I was thinking that I can only use BBM with other BBM users. Most of my contacts don't have BBs.

Mine either. It's the price you pay for being the coolest of your peers!

The way I see it, RIM owes me. I've introduced a lot of my friends to BB using BB I. M. As a selling point. When they saw the pin message work they were sold.

I am able to use everything except the built-in browser. BB messenger works great, MMS, most 3rd party apps, etc.

the 24.99 plan is a two item sale they do

they give you black berry net 19.99 plus $5 for 400 sms/mms package... i got it set like that... but they offer it to you as a one item cuz usually you will need some text plan too and they know it.
