I am interested in a Blackberry 8700c for alot of different reasons. However, the data is sooooooo expensive. Is there any way that Cingular would match the prices of other companies? I have 5 lines on Cingular and wonder if i threatened to switch what theyd do for me. I am looking at the blackberry plan......unlimited text/net/email for 29.99/month. Let me know what yall think!!

they will not match, what you do is go online to your account info, drop the expensive data plan they want you to buy, add the $19.99 Unlimited Medianet data package. it works just the same as the PDA data plans, they just like to charge you more.

it works for the Treo and other PDAs on Cingular, why not the Crackberry too? and no it doesnt include Texts. yes it includes email, anything that uses DATA, texts do not.

My guess that it wouldn't work. When you start up a blackberry plan it gives you a cingular blackberry address, and that would probably be associated with a blackberry plan.

No they will not match data prices with other carriers.

No the BB plan cannot be subsituited by a MediaNet addon for $19.99. You would have data but no BB service.

If you would like to discuss this further, please do so in the main forum, this does not belong in the phone forum.
