T-Mo Pearl with T-MobileWeb?

I recently ported my number to T-Mobile and purchased a blackberry pearl. I was mainly interested in this phone because of its PIM functionality, and didn't care about the BB Data Plan (for that guy who is going to flame me for getting a BB without getting data); the pearl does everything I need without a data plan.

Without my knowledge, the reseller added the 19.99 BlackBerry Data plan to my service, which I just cancelled. While I had the service, however, I was able to access T-Zones to view and update account information and get to all the other T-Mobile content, now that I don't have the data plan, I can't seem to access this content (I generally get a timeout error, sometimes I get an error about no WAP service, and other times I have a "Data Connection Refused" error on my home screen). Is a BB Data plan required to view T-Zones?

I also signed up for T-MobileWeb because it offers the simpler service I want. I'm unsure, however, if I can use this with the 8100. Can this service be used with the Pearl? I have the browser app, and the t-zones app, shouldn't I be able to connect to WAP content? If not, that's fine, I just want to cancel the service sooner than later.

Sorry for any naivety, I'm a T-Mobile and BlackBerry newb.
 
To access T-Zones, you would still need the BB data plan. Having T-Mobile Web for your BB is a waste of $6 because it isn't compatible with the BB. But you can still check minutes used on your phone by dailing #646# and check your balance with #225# if you can do without the data plan
 
~via BB not trying to argue but to make a long story short I have smart access from tmo and the BB plan I could only get 300 min no nights. I tried to get my faves and was told I could I switched was supposed to keep the BB add on but alas I didn't have it! I went to update my service books and my pearl told me to sign up for t mobile web I did and lo and behold it worked. I couldn't use opera or BB weather but it all still worked. I called t mobile cause my fear of huge data usage was overwhelming needless to say for some odd reason t mobile web worked when it shouldn't have. I'm back with the BB plan cause I'm an addict.the pearl has lured me in and I'm hooked! (wap.rabroad.com)~
