Hi,
You are right, your question is not very clear. However, I will try to explain data charges from Verizon. You can have WiFi enabled and Mobile Network enabled at the same time. Verizon charges you a flat $29.99 per month for data. You can receive messages via Blackberry Messenger with either connection. It does not matter, you are charged one flat fee for all data. I often have my WiFi enabled while at home to enjoy the speed of my home WiFi, while at the same time I have Mobile Network on so that I may receive telephone calls. If Mobile Network in disabled, you are not connected to the Verizon network and therefore will not receive calls or data through that connection. If you had only WiFi enabled, you would still receive instant messages via BBM and others and internet via the browser. Hope this helps you understand better your choices.
