T-Mobile UK BB Data Plan On an Iphone?

[jayem8310]

Hi, basically I purchased a 2 year BB data plan only 3/4 months ago but after the announcement of the iphone 4, am interested in switching to the iphone. it is a plan which includes basic mins + texts plus £5 bb data and a free booster of unlimited internet.

Now I understand if I switch then im paying for the £5 bb booster which i presume i dont need with an iphone? Will the plan still work with the iphone properly with all functioning features if i have unlimited internet? I know it will probably cost me a bit more financially doing it this way but i just want to know everything iphone wise will work before i jumpship

Thankyou

I believe the iPhone only requires internet. BB's require the BB plan (which includes internet), because you are going through RIM. Can't you drop the BB plan and just add an internet plan?

Yes that would be preferable, but surely signing a two year contract means i'm locked into paying the extra £5 data plan every month? I'll research and see.

EDIT: So under T-Mobile's Legal Stuff its says "...[the]booster costs £5 a month and the cost will be added to your next bill and then every bill each month until you ask us to remove it" which states (as clear as T-Mobile can be) that I can remove it any time. Now I just need to know if everything would work dandy on an iphone...

EDIT 2: ps. There's also an issue with data limitations- my plan has a data limitation of 50MB which sounds like it wouldnt strecth far with the data heavy iphone....?

I tell you, BB plans wont runs with Iphone, Andriod and WinMo but must be the specified bb or sidekick only.. T-mobile will have to force you to pick different data plan for either of all instead BB plan... Once you pick new data, so you can switch different devices as such Ip4, or android or WinMo under same data.. thats what I had experienced it..
