i saw something on that site that kinda said that?

can you like buy internet for one month&then turn it off&not pay, if you HAVE to buy the internet?

Answer 1

At this point in time new activations for BlackBerry devices do require the BlackBerry data plan. Other carriers don't enforce this requirement (like T-Mobile and AT&T) but Verizon does. They won't let you de-activate it later.

Answer 2

i have a blackberry pearl; nd no yu dont need internet with it.

but honestly its not worth it.
