Help! Alltel Blackberry Trap!
My husband and I bought blackberries in May and had to change to a data plan with Alltel. It has been too expensive and I went to Alltel to switch back to a voice plan with unlimited texting. The manager said that we could not because when we changed to the data plan we basically started a new 2 year contract and could not switch back until it was complete! No one told me that! Nor did they tell me how much the total cost was going to be with all the changes to my plan - we have 3 other lines. And we don't use the data part very much - maybe once every couple weeks. We tried tethering, it did not work - despite at least half a dozen calls to tech support! What should I do? I cannot afford $340 a month for cell phones! :eek: I really don't want to pay over $200 for our phones. If I could get them to waive the ETFs, I would probably go to AT&T because I think you can use Blackberries without the data plan, just texting. I love my Blackberry, and use all the applications such as the calendar and address book. Just not the e-mail and internet - I have not been able to tether and have separate IP at home and work. So why pay extra for something I don't/can't use! Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
