Pearl on Premium plan

sms_Queen

Ok, so, my fiance and i have the premium plan with everything included, and we both have EnV's. i really want a BB Pearl. I had one on Sprint, and I miss it! Would we still be able to keep the premium plan and still get everything included? (ie, email, internet, VZ navigator, text messages, etc.)? I'm ok with paying $30 more per month on my line as long as we both keep all those features. Thanks!

Make her line the primary and make yours the secondary. The e-mail and Internet only apply to regular cell phones, and the system won't allow your line to be a premium line. V Cast Vpak and Mobile e-mail don't apply to BlackBerries, either, so you'd actually be paying more if you kept the premium plan, anyway.

Okay, here it goes...

Primary Line's Current Costs:
- Minutes are $60.00
- Messaging is $30.00
- Premium Perks are $20.00
- - Includes Mobile E-mail ($5.00 Value)
- - Includes V Cast Vpak ($15.00 Value)
- - Includes VZ Navigator ($9.99 Value)
- - - Savings of $9.99, Basically

Secondary Line's Current Costs:
- Minutes and Messaging are $9.99
- Premium Perks are $20.00 (as Above)

If you switch to a BlackBerry, however, Mobile E-mail and V Cast Vpak immediately become pointless on your line. You'd be paying $20.00 extra and only getting $9.99 of value, if it was even possible to have a BlackBerry designated as the phone on a Premium plan as the primary line.

Right now, yes, you're on a $139.99 plan. If you add the $29.99 Bl...

Oh, and I didn't notice your username before. I mean 'his' line. If you're the secondary right now, though, then you're fine. Just make your line a Select secondary.

yes and no..it depends on if you are the secondary line on this.if so you could drop your line to the select plan ( 9.99 instead of 29.99 ) and add the $30 feature to your pearl (the prem plan will only support a few devices) you will loose the included vz-nav but the other line will still have all the same features. hope this helps

I am the secondary line at the moment. So, he could have the premium plan, i could change mine to the select plan (only $9.99) then add the $30 BB pack, and then $10 navigation? And, technically, the price would only raise $20/month and we'd both still have unlimited messaging, internet, email, VZ navigation?

Does the 29.99$ a month for a Blackberry unlimited include messaging or not? I mean could you have a basic plan and then add the whole blackberry thing or do you need to have the select plan with the unlimited messaging???a little confused ...thanks
