I don't own a BB yet. (My wife does and I covet it so!) But I read somewhere in here that there is an online text message app that you can send and receive texts with. but I don't know what the name or price is. So, keep reading. it's in here somewhere!
Later,

I called Verizon today and with my plan for my Voyager all I have to get is a data plan added, unlimited. I already got the unlimited IN text and 1500 other. 29.99 more a month for the data plan.
With Verizon you need a data plan and a text plan, if you do a lot of texting. I stayed with the family plan to share the minutes with 3 additional phones. It seemed to be the cheapest way to go. Hope this helps.
