So I REALLY did plan on calling Verizon to ask this question when I got off work...but then I got caught up in searching these darn forums. Anyways back to my question. I went to their website and tried finding some info on upgrading my phone to a Blackberry, not the Storm perse. I tried the Curve just to see how things would go. BUT to my dismay I couldn't figure out a way how to change my Current plan (which isn't compatable for a BB):

Anywho, my question is: What BB plan would be best in my case. I've got two lines on my plan. The wifes (secondary) and mine (primary). My wifes got the LG Voyager and I the LG EnV (sad to admit). So how in the world would I get a family plan when I want to get the Storm and she has the Voyager? I mean is that even possible, cuz don't they require two different Plans? I don't know...maybe I'm just freaking out here, but it's driving me crazy. Lots and lots of help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Uhh nope. It's 12:43am now.

Tumaz04, not an expert, but I have the Basic Family Plan, 2 lines, 1 Voyager and 1 Chocolate. When I called Verizon, I would just need to drop the VZPack on my Voyager, add the Unlimited wireless/email for $29.99 for the Storm and that would be it. Everything else the same.
Since you have the Premium, you could just add the wireless/email package for $29.99. Your wife would still need the VZPack for her Voyager.

Ok, so I can't really do all that online right? I would have to talk to CS. Cuz right now I can't figure out how to do all that stuff online, been trying like heck.

The CS helped me a lot. Personally, I would use them, they can advise you and not screw anything up as well as maybe something help you save some money.

You'd have to ask CS to step your family plan down from Premium to Select, which unfortunately means you would have to pay monthly for your wife to have Vcast Vpak for unlimited data (which is currently included in your monthly fee), and then on top of that the respective monthly costs for Mobile E-mail and VZ Navigator (which you also currently get included in your plan).

I called verizon to ask the same question. We have the family share 1 primary 3 additional lines. My daughter has the voyager but just not the extra stuff and we all have unlimited texting. The guy that I spoke to said for my plan the offered 2 data plans. Both are unlimited in everything. One is 29.99 and the other is 44.99. The only difference between the two of them is that the 44.99 plan gives you broadband which is faster. He said that the 29.99 plan speed is a few steps above dial up. He also told me that which ever plan I start with I can always switch to the other one. I figure that since I am a blackberry newbie I would start with the 29.99 plan and if it was really that slow that I couldn't stand it...then I would upgrade to the other one.
