What do I need a Data Plan for? * Do I need a data plan to get email? Yes, without a data plan all you have is phone, SMS, and PIM services. (ie... Outlook, Contacts, Calendar ect..) * Do I need a data plan to access the internet? Yes you will need a data plan to access the internet * Do I need a data plan for MMS? Yes, on most carriers, you will need a data plan to send/retrieve MMS messages. With NO data plan you may: # make phone calls # send/receive text SMS messages # NOT use any instant messenger program that anyone has found so far # use the device as a standalone PIM # NOT send or receive any information over the internet, in any way shape or form, despite what you heard about it being possible With a generic data plan in addition you may: # use a third party browser like Opera Mini, but NOT the resident BlackBerry browser # may get email either via a web interface (using Opera) or other third party app, but NOT BlackBerry push email # use a number of third party applications that require net access, including some instant messenger programs, as long as they're available to install from DM because: # canNOT install apps OTA because that requires the resident browser # canNOT use BlackBerry messenger or do PIN-->PIN messaging With a BlackBerry data plan you may do all of the above plus: # receive true BlackBerry push email from up to 10 different email accounts # use the resident BlackBerry supplied browser to access the internet # install applications OTA via the supplied resident browser # use BlackBerry Messenger and send PIN-->PIN messages | |
