Funny you should say that: my Blackberry Minutes, Mail, and More plan includes not only 1,000 anytime minutes, but also unlimited e-mail, data, and SMS.

OK, so answer the confusion:
1) If you are using the Add-on option for $20 (Per unit), you get NO, I repeat, NO SMS messages.
2) Instant Messaging: You need to verify this through which program you use, some use data, and some use SMS. Ramble Uses Data. Yahoo and GTalk use Data. (The Apps you download from blackberry.com)
3) PIN uses the Data Service. (I have a friend who relies on this to communicate with his other BB friends since he can't SMS, he likes it.)
4) If You sign up with a new Individual plan, unlimited SMS is $14.99, but if you sign up in a FAMILY plan, you can get the special "Messaging for families" for a TOTAL of 19.99, which covers SMS, MMS (and e-mail for any non-BB device).
What do I pay?
I have the FamilyTime Basic (700 anytime, unlimited nights, weekends, unlimited long distance and no roaming charges). (national plan)
Unlimited BB data for 2 devices ($20 each)
Messaging for Families ($20)
My Bill comes out to be about $130 monthly after taxes.
(I would cut out even more minutes i'm not using, but then I lose unlimited nights and weekends, which is when I do 95% of my talking)
Just an FYI: only 700 anytime min? Yes, because the other BB user on the account is hearing impaired, so the minutes are only for me.

Hey folks just an FYI, I have been using gtalk all week on my crackberry 8100 and while talking with KevinF in T-Mobile's Blackberry support team in Pennsylvania last night I asked him to check and see if he saw any SMS message charges for the week. He did. So this morning I got on the phone to Google and spoke with someone there who went to their support page and read to me that gtalk uses SMS. So gtalk is not a data service and T-mobile will be billing me for those services.
That being said, are there ANY chat programs other than PIN messaging that I can use to communicate with my office on.
and DON'T even think about calling me cheap! I'm frugal. LOL
