Is there a way to buy/use Blackberry Curve on Verizon without taking the internet plan?

Question

I am already a Verizon subscriber & want the Curve but don't want the extra expense of the email/internet package. I was told to use the Curve I have to take the package.

Answer 1

With Verizon, you have to have the data plan if you want a Blackberry. This is not the case with all the service providers but it is most definitely that way with Verizon.

Answer 2

The internet package is optional. I have this device and love the full internet/data package. Its actually just like a computer!!
