Is Blackberry Messenger included when you buy the phone, or do you need to pay for the monthly web services?

Question

Which is cheaper? T-mobile, At&t, or Verizon, if you want a BB with internet, e-mail, and text messaging?

Answer 1

The Messenger is included with the phone, however you do need the data plan.  Plans range about $30 per month in addition to your voice plan.  Some have limted use for $20, but unlimted is the way to go.

I have Verizon wireless, and its $30 unlimted.  I had Nextel blackberry and it was also $30 a month

Answer 3

You do need to have a BlackBerry data plan (or BlackBerry E-mail Only plan) in order to use BlackBerry Messenger.

T-Mobile is probably the cheapest. They have a monthly plan called BlackBerry Minutes and Mail. You get 1000 anytime minutes (no nights or weekends), unlimited data (which includes e-mail and Internet), and unlimited text messaging for $59.99.
