Ok, I just had the exact same issue.
I bought a Blackberry 8830 from Verizon. The signed me up for a data plan so I could get $100 off the phone.

I called a few days later to cancel the data plan since I dont use the Internet or Email services on my phone.

I called a couple different times, and all of the customer service reps told me that you are required to have a data plan if you own a blackberry. I didn't think this was really true though.

I called again today and the rep removed my plan with no problem. She just switched it to a "Pay As You Go" plan, which is .015 cents per kilobyte.

So then I went into my Blackberry settings, and turned the data plan feature "OFF".

I don't think I'll have a problem now.
