Do you have a blackberry data plan? What do I need a Data Plan for? - BlackBerryFAQ

Must have a BB data plan for any RIM related service - email, App World, Facebook, BBM, etc.

I suggest you use the SEARCH feature and search on either 8350 on boot or just boot mobile. Also, read through the 8300 section. Lots of problems using BBs on Boost these days.

okay, but I can get on facebook, get ringtones just a stupid question, can I pay monthly for just a BB data plan and still have my $50 per month boost, I thought about doin the boostberry $60 plan, but...NO 2 way and I have NO service with sprint at my house or in my area.

One more question-I cant place/make a call from my phone book, I have to type the # in to make a call, why?

Could you explain in more detail what happens when you try to make calls from your phone book?

Normally when you're in the Address Book, you highlight the contact, then just hit send.
If the contact has more than 1 numbers, then you'd select the number u wanna call from the pop-up list.

You can also dial from the Call Log:
Open the Call Log
Start typing the contact name until you see it in a list that pops up
Scroll to the contact name
If the contact has more than 1 numbers, then you'd scroll to the number u want to call
Hit send

Okay I have been doin some much needed reading and figured that problem out, I had to go into phone book options and changr code from (+1) to (unknown) now thats all fixed! but I still have tone of questions.
I beleive I flased my nextel phone correctly to work on boost, but... My internet works when it wants too and Im not able to install any BB apps...still no pandora internet radio, still no email client/pusher, Im sure after some more reading, self testing and help from others I will get it perfect, ita already 100% better than my motorola i776

also I can only get about 2 hrs of talk time out of the battery and all is NEW!
and I can send and receive text, I can foward text but I CAN NOT FOWARD PIC MAIL, it fails every time

Thanks guys & gals
