- Hey everyone, I need help as i'm getting conflicting info on what my bb9700 will cost me in data.
I love youtube and generally download a bit so i have a data bundle on my current contract.
My service provider tells me i wont need that data with the internet service.
Can i get streaming video and audio for free on the bbis? or will they charge me?
Will i be charged for GPS?
Is it true that i can browse internet for free using my bb as a modem for my laptop?
Any advice would be great, thanking you in advance07-08-10 09:27 PMLike 0 - It really depends on your carrier. You have the normal cell phone charges - minutes/whatever.
But the carriers sometimes offer different data packages for the BB's. Verizon for instance has a $29/month and includes UNlimited data which can be used for youtube, gps, email (not texting - that's separate), browsing in general.
The 9700 is not Verizon from what I think I know about the numbers. I believe AT&T is similar to verizon altho, I think I read recently that they are changing from UNlimited to some other factor.
Tethering is separate. Many charge a separate feel for using it as a modem with laptop/computer/etc. There are programs that can bypass the charges but that may be a violation of your terms of service. Many do it anyway but you risk getting caught and charged.
I think I've read Canadian Carriers are different in their plans and data packages.07-08-10 10:55 PMLike 0
