I'm now confused. I have the BB Unlimited for $49.99 (less $5). How is it that they have the BB Unlimited for $34.99 (less $)?
duh - figured it is b/c I'm on a BES. But this makes no sense. Why would our corporate pay for the BES and support it and then I am charged an additional $15? Pls don't give me the Sprint or TMob flames about how much cheaper they are, as I have to use Cingular (both coverage and coporate). I just want to know what is going on "under the covers" that would cost more and how would they know if you are using a BES or not?

I'm in love. LOL I have never enjoyed a phone this much. I love everything about it. Love all the features...I love the voice dialing (my last phone could only hold like 10 voice contacts...this phone recognizes WHATEVER you say for your whole address book-WOW!), I love that I can make my own ringtones and put them on the phone, I love that I can transfer pictures and music etc. I love the SureType...EVERYTHING! It's so light, and pretty. I am a happy camper! |

T-mo is 29.99 if you don't have a voice plan. |

Here's a question...how about if I use the Desktop Redirector to received my email...can I go with the BlackBerry Internet Service Plan ($29.99) or do I have to get the Blackberry Unlimited Plan ($44.99)?

What they meant was you could have the unlimited data plan at $29.99 IF you upgrade your voice plan to a plan that costs $34.99 or more. So you would have a voice plan then. |

So I called the 800 # today and they lady told me it's unlimited email, internet use, texting etc. I said that can't be, the unlimited one is like $70! She said, well that is what it says right here. So I called the actual store I bought it from and asked what was included in the plan and they said it includes 10MB of data usage. When I look online at my account it says:
Added Features:
BBRYBISUNL $29.99
So what do I really have? It can't be unlimited for that cheap. The understanding I got from the website is that it looks like that only covers unlimited email. I AM SO CONFUSED!!! I am being told 3 different things (not that I am shocked). Anyone here know what I have??

The $29.99 is the unlimited Internet with e-mail without the option of tethering (using your Blackberry as a modem for your laptop)
The $74.99 (when you sign up for a new contract) includes everything above including tethering. |

That's incorrect. check my post above.
T-mobile price of $29.99 includes data only without a voice plan. If you have voice plan than it's $19.99. |

Also, if the tethered plan is for accessiing the internet from your laptop with the BB tethered, then they are stupid because T-Mo lets you do that for no additional charge.

The $34.99 plan and the $79.99 plan is if you are changing plans but if you sign up with a new contract than it's cheaper at $29.99 plan and $74.99 plan. |

No, Cingular is $29.99. T-mobile price of $19.99 is a great deal!  That's why I have T-mobile. |

It's because you said that data plan is $29.99.
It's $29.99 without a voice plan but it's $19.99 with a voice plan.
I just want to clarify that. |

TMO is 19.99 unless your on a BES, which unless you work for a big company you most likely arent.
And that Unlimited data and 300 SMS |

The Cingular 34.99 (29.99 w/voice)BB unlimited plan is only available on the business side. If your getting it on your own, you have to get the 49.99(44.99w/voice) if you want unlimited BB. The 34.99 personal plan that is on the website is a typo, you can see the same plan on the business side. I just got finished arguing with CS about this.

Sorry, but the rep is incorrect. The $29.99 personal plan (w/ voice) BB unlimited is available to everyone. When it came out, I switched to it from the the $44.99 plan as I don't use a BES. When I switched it took the rep forever to find it, but it helps if you tell them the plan code. It is "BBRYBISUNL". Hope this helps. |
