Buying Used AT&T Blackberry to Use on AT&T
I'm trying to upgrade to a Blackberry Curve 8900 without adding the $30/month data plan that AT&T has mandated for smartphones. I know that buying an unlocked phone would allow me to bypass this. But if I was to buy a used 8900 off of craigslist that was still tied to the AT&T network, would I be able to simply insert my SIM card and use the phone on my current plan (without data)? Or would I need to activate the phone to use with my number (thus adding the data plan to my service)? If I want to use this phone without adding a data plan, would I need to unlock it first? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.
