Question

i mean if i get like a prepaid connection will the phone work to make call text and the basics of a cell phone i don't want email acess or will i have to have that package for phone to work

Answer 1

You will have access to calling and text messaging. You won't be able to get on the Internet or do e-mail, and you won't be able to use the newer instant messaging clients, as they use data. Also, access to BlackBerry Messenger won't work, nor will BlackBerry Maps.

Also, depending on the carrier, you might be required to get a data plan. I know Verizon requires a data plan for people who purchase BlackBerrys.
