Does it cost extra money to own a Blackberry and use its features?

Question

On top of paying AT&T for the service plan.. will I have to pay for additional features? Can someone help me break this down?

Answer 1

I believe it's a little different at AT&T, but here's how it works at Verizon:

You pay whatever your regular monthly fee is for your minutes. On top of that, you also have to pay for a Blackberry Data Plan, which adds about $30 to your monthly bill. However, that extra $30 allows you to use all of the Blackberry's features like web, email, etc. Text messages are still extra. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It's pretty much the same as the Verizon employee described it. I have a BlackBerry Curve on the AT&T Wireless network and you do have to pay extra for its online features and such.

They have BlackBerry data plans so you may want to look into that!

Answer 3

Unlike Verizon, ATT does not require you to have a data plan for the Blackberry.  You can use it for voice only, although I don't really see the point.  You can add a text plan (250txts for $5 is common) and an unlimited data plan (39.99) if you want to have email and internet access.
