NO, not with just a SMS texting plan

Very confused here when the term "data plan" or "generic plan" is used in the faq section. I'd like to be able to check weather, scores etc. from my Pearl without having to pay the $30.00 per mo. all the time just for a little online time.
For all this, you will need either the BB Data Plan, or at least one of the media plans, BUT the latter will still get you full and complete internet use
