I have a few questions. I recently purchased a Blackberry Curve 8330 off of eBay. I still haven't done anything with it besides charge and fiddle with it. No activation YET. Here's my few questions:
1. Do I really need I Blackberry Data Plan from Verizon?
2. How much would that cost because I'm not using a work-supplied e-mail. I'm 13 and using Yahoo.

Well I'm done with questions for now. If you can answer some of these it would be appreciated.

YES
You would need the BIS plan which is alot cheaper than the BES plan, but I don't know the prices.
Verizon's website probably has it on there.

The BlackBerry add-on is $29.99 on top of your voice plan. SMS and MMS are at an additional cost as well.

With VZW the blackberry plan is required
