    Hello there, I hope everyone is doing well.
    I had an iPhone as my personal/business phone for a little over a year...I had the iPhone unlimited data plan plus unlimited texts.
    While overseas, I saw an unlocked, unbranded Blackberry Bold which really caught my eye and I ended up buying it.
    Essentially I am having trouble setting things up. I moved my SIM card over, the device recognizes the ATT network, and I am able to use the 3G in the phone to browse the web and such. However, when going to setup email I only have the option of "I want to use a work email account with a BES"..
    and although my data plan appears to be working, applications such as facebook, google maps are unable to use the internet and I can not send/recieve MMS.
    If I go down to ATT and get the Blackberry internet service plan, will this make these issues go away or have I been suckered by buying an unlocked phone?
    The Bold is fantastic by the way, much more efficient than my iPhone and definentley a sharper screen!
    Thanks so much,
    Andrew

    I'm confused, do you have the AT&T data plan for your blackberry? The data plan for blackberry and the iPhone are different, if you just moved your SIM over, blackberry data will not function properly, you need a blackberry data feature.

    Okay, see I thought I could just move my existing data plan over to the Blackberry and it would work but you are saying that I need the Blackberry Internet Service plan for it to fully function?

    Yes, blackberrys need the blackberry specific data plan. The iPhone or any other data plan will not allow it to function properly.
