I just got this BB, I get this data connection refused, does something need to be turned on???

Yes, you need a BlackBerry Data Plan from your carrier. Without it, you will have a phone and SMS texting. You will not have the internet browser, email or data for other applications.

This might be a dumb question....but is there any way around the BlackBerry Data Plan????

This phone is unlocked if that makes any kind of difference..

You have a phone with SMS. You might get some internet connection using Opera Mini browser to work... some do, some don't.
