You dont want the 24.99. Thats the old 10mb one. The 29.99 is the new unlimited.

Agreed. 10 MB will go by rather quickly.

I was told, "You can save a lot of money by having your own individual plan instead of on a Family SharePlan."

Hope this helps someone .

The rep you spoke to is incorrect and is trying to make more commision by selling two single lines instead of a family share.

That's not true, I have a family share plan and just switched to the $29.99 via VZW site without speaking to a rep.

Default Different Plans

I called VZW and they switched it. The only thing, I see them on the Internet as two different things. There is EMAIL & WEB FOR BLACKBERRY $29.99 and BLACKBERRY UNLIMITED BBA $44.99. Are these in ANY way different?

I got it resolved. I called VZW (again!) and finally talked to someone who knew the story. You can use the web and the email and 3rd party apps...but you are charged per megabyte at $1.99 if you are on a Nationwide plan. Was this correct?

Thanks.

Okay, thank you. Verizon reps seem to not know what I am talking about, and they have to look it up.

Sorry about this.
