I'm trying to pick what plan I want. I'm not a corporate user, so I dont have a million dollars to spend on a phone.
I'm thinking of getting the blackberry pearl white, since i was going to get the sidekick but grew tired of seing it...
I want unlimited e-mail (i only have 1 address) and web browsing, and i'm going to get the 300 minute MyFaves plan. I'm thinking this is the addon i need?:
BlackBerry Unlimited Add-on

Add access to BlackBerry's powerful data functionality to a voice rate plan. The BlackBerry Unlimited Add-on includes unlimited BlackBerry Web Client e-mail and Web browsing.

to get unlimited e-mail and web browsing? but im not sure what the difference is from this one:
BlackBerry Unlimited w/Enterprise Email Add-on

Add access to BlackBerry corporate data features to a voice rate plan. BlackBerry Unlimited w/Enterprise E-mail, for use with BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) software, includes unlimited BES access, BlackBerry Web Client e-mail, and Web browsing.

Also, what is BES?
Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any help
 
~via BB (wap.rabroad.com)~ I believe you should go with the blackberry unlimited add on. If you don't have a corporate email adress then you don't need the bes. Also BES is buisiness enterprise server its used for corporate email. Plus BES cost extra... Hope this helps...
 
I think it really depends on how much minutes do you need each month. The unlimited internet is an add-on to whatever you phone plan is.
 
exactly.

I have never used myfaves, but I used to be on the get more 600 (now it is 1000) a few years back. I have been on a family plan with unlimited mobile to mobile (t-mobile to t-mobile) and have been lovin it. My whole family is on the t-mobile network, and it helps that T-mobile is huge in the Seattle Area....that all my job also uses T-mobile

If you friends and family use t-mobile I suggest it...at the same time, I have no experience with the myfaves, and how that works out
 
Ok, cool. Thanks everybody
I just got back from my 1st day at work and get paid next week, so in 2 weeks i'll be ordering my blackberry pearl.
But I have 1 more question. Does the blackberry unlimited also give unlimited text messages? I wount be sending a lot since i have e-mail, but just incase. And if it doesnt, cant I use whoever im trying to text's e-mail address (like #@tmobile.net or whatever it is) and it'll go straight to their phone? Would that be covered under that plan?
 
BES is actually BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

There is an add-on for unlimited texts. It's $14.99 a month for a single line. Not sure for a family plan.
 
Ok. I have one more question.
On this forum ive seen a lot of "Get a free blackberry pearl" offers from websites. Do any of these actualy work? If any of them really work, can someone post (or PM) me the links to them? If i can get my blackberry for free then that would be great

that one you pay 9.99 today and then get a 50 dollar mail in rebate so basically they are giving you 50
 
And thats legit? I'll definately be doing that one if it is
They arent going to add money to my bill to pay for the phone later are they? dont want to see extra charges popping up.
Only problem is I'm not seing the white one... but for free I'll definately settle for the black one
 
Yes, this is for sure legit because I did it. The only thing I did different is instead of getting it from Wirefly I printed the Wirefly deal, took it to the Tmoble store, and got it there on the spot. I didn't have to wait for it to come in the mail and I saved ten bucks.
 
You might also check www.letstalk.com. I've used it and two co-workers have used it without problems. The Pearl is free without rebates. Also check amazon. I looked at them the other day and they had a rebate on the pearl of $75 with an upfront price of $0.01 so you make $74.99.
 
^^ Letstalk has good deals.

The Wirefly deal is still better though. The 8100 is free AND you get a $50 rebate... So you make money. It takes like 2 months to get the rebate though.

EDIT: BTW your post being about picking a plan... If you have 5 people I would go with either 600+Nights/Weekends or 1000 anytime (Both 39.99 + 19.99 for BB add on) If you have bad / no credit they will put you on a spending plan, which is why I had to get a the bs 29.99 plan with 300+Weekends w/o nights. Boo.
