First of all, I'm really liking my Torch as I have all of the Blackberries that I've owned. I must say however I'm kind of looking forward to trying the windows phone 7 device.
If I buy one and switch back and between it and my BB, do I change anything with AT&T?
I'm guessing that any other device will work just using the data portion of my plan.
I was wondering about this also for the same reason. But will AT&T force you off BIS because you are upgrading to a non blackberry phone? I have been thinking about running a WM7 device and one of my many Blackberry's. I can get wifi at work and home and would rarely have to put the sim in the BB for anything other than voice.
they will only force u off if u are buying your other phone from a retail outlet...if u buy it from craigslist or ebay or something they won't force u off. AT&T's computers won't let u use say an android with a bis plan but if u buy an android from ebay it works fine...its just a paperwork thing for at&t
Well just as an update since I went by an AT&T corp store this evening to try this out. I came away with a Focus WM7 device as an upgrade on my contract and managed to get them to add back on the unlimited $30 blackberry data. So now I can happily SIM swap between all my devices while I check out WM7.
Yeah I talked with a service rep about this very thing because sometimes i like to use my captivate. The data still works and is routed through your same plan. The only thing he said I needed to look out for is sometime around midnight att's servers do a sweep and might automatically change your plan. He also said this could be solved with a phone call but he put it out there. So I always keep my sim in my blackberry over night. I happily switch to and fro with little issue.
