Upgrade To Blackberry

I am considering upgrading to a Blackberry from a "regular" phone. I realize I will have to pay for a data package. One question I have is will the device work with a yahoo email account? And after I pay this monthly data package fee, will I have to pay any extra for the time I am online or how much data I download?

Yes. It suppose to work with a yahoo email account, you have to set it up on your Blackberry. As for the "data plan" it is "unlimited," which means you can email, browse as long as you want. :smileyvery-happy:

Even though it says the data is unlimited there is a 5 GB limit. I doubt you will ever reach that in a month though.

The 5GB limit would only apply when you're tethering your phone as a modem for internet access on a PC. Data directly on the device is infact unlimited.

Thanks. I neglected to mention about the tethering portion of data. But since I don't tether my Storm, never thought about it. :smileysurprised:

There is an additional charge for the text message plan.

so I am considering the same thing but I have a plan that is like $175 a month 1400 mins with 5 phones. how much would this data package add to my bill?

thanks in advance.

The minimum data plan is $29.99 for unlimited. So it will add $30 to your bill.

Is that per phone? My wife is due for a new one also.

thanks

All Blackberrys require a data plan, so if your wife wants a Blackberry the data plan must be included. Yes, per phone. :smileywink:
