Want to buy an Unlocked BlackBerry Storm 9530..

To my undertsanding, a unlocked BlackBerry Storm 9530 will work on verizon correct?

My next question is that if i were to buy this phone, could i replace it with my current phone and not be forced to upgrade my plan?

Currently have no DATA plan at all, Just the boring Text/Call plans.

Really just want a better phone than my current phone, and i found this great BlackBerry at a low price unlocked!

I just want to text and call on it, while using a BlackBerry!

Only devices Verizon allows on their system are Verizon branded. So it would have to be a Verizon BB.

Also even buying elsewhere you are required to have data on a BB device.

I hate verizon lol

Anyways, are there any smartphones that don't require you to have a DATA plan?

Or is verzion going to screw everyone over on that?

Every company requires data on a smartphone  Verizon is $15/month/150MB  or $30/month/unlimited
