T-mobile does know my bill indicates BB Unlimited Email RIM Blackberry Megabytes Unlimited $9.99. You need to get your facts straight email is data and runs on BB servers...hello?

At My T-mobile my acount also shows online the amount of megabytes used and states unlimited use. If T-mobile catches wind lol, they put online and on my statement because it's data....wake up!
 
ACV, I'm sorry if you are confused as to what you are paying for, but I'll try to better explain what the $9.99 plan covers so that you do not continue to pass incorrect information.

The $9.99 plan for T-mobile, as per the TOS (terms of service) is for unlimited email use only. The plan that has been put into place was not created by Research In Motion, who is the host behind all BIS/BES service. T-mobile created this plan by adjusting a regular BIS (blackberry internet service) plan to not send down the browser service book. Since this plan isn't an actual built-in option by RIM, there are obviously holes to this. One of these holes is that despite it being an email only plan, you can still send/receive attachments and 3rd party applications can still utilize the BIS connection. Yes, email is data, but emails containing only text use very little data. In comparison, it would take a thousand emails to even match the amount of data transferred for one high resolution pic. Despite it saying you have unlimited data online (which means yes, you can send as many emails as you like), if you abuse the terms of your service, which states for email use only, they have the right to invoke charges to your account for any activities outside of the said agreement.

T-mobile is pretty relaxed with most of its rules and isn't looking to stick customers for every penny. If they see say 10mbs of data used, it's pretty clear that you obviously weren't just sending emails and if they see enough users abusing the hole, they can decide it's time to charge and you will not have a leg to stand on since you ignored the agreement.

I hope this has cleared things up, particularly terms of service.
 
Wherever you think...so your telling me T-mobile is guilty false advertising that it's not an UNLIMITED ADD ON as advertised , well great that makes the contract and all terms expressed by T-mobile in breach of stated advertisment and constitutes fraud.
 
Man you say one thing then another you are so full of crap, as is your statement that T-mobile TOS says email only. No such statement, I have since read through all your treads and you think you have all the answers and everyone else knows nothing. lol you are in denial and trying too inflate your deflated ego.
 
Let me clear something up for you. As a formal employee of T-Mobile I will clear up a few things. First of all, you are wanting unlimited EMAIL for your BB for 9.99, we now offer that. Now what you have to understand is that EMAIL as defined by the legal terms of your agreement may or may not compare with what your definition is. The blackberry is complicated as it has connections to both the network of your mobile provider as well as to RIM/Blackberry. When you get the EMAIL ONLY option you are given a connection to the Blackberry or RIM server in order to have your @tmo.blackberry.net email given to you. Since you have that connection your BB MESSENGER which runs through rims server may or may not work correctly. Yes correct that it is DATA as you say, but you have to remember that EVERYTHING, inlcuding your phone calls, is considered DATA per se. If you knew how GSM worked you would understand that fully. Now I am not here to argue or undermind either side, however consider the possibility that there are a few technical options you may not fully understand.

Basically speaking, it will show as DATA on your bill when you download attachments, etc as these things require the network connection to work. If you want to put this to the test, turn your wireless signal off and let me know how the email and bb messenger work. Basically speaking, you cannot define general email as data or email as just email, etc. Email with attachments is very different from standard email.

If you would like some detailed info regarding your personal situation please feel free to email me directly and Id be happy to give you some more info. I dont want to bore the general crowd with my ramblings..
 
Per se T-mobile Blackberry Support you can use Blackberry Messenger with the $9.99 Blackberry Email Add On, as it runs through RIM/Blackberry servers there is no additional charges.
I have used the plan for 3 months with no additional charges for using Blackberry Messenger.
 
one, I'd suggest you watch your tone and language unless you want the site moderators to get involved and you get yourself reprimanded. two, please attempt to follow along as I am trying to share the correct information with you and you refuse to listen.

I have tested and shown what is able to be done within the plan, but that does not mean you are allowed to do such. This is why I advised above that anyone who does take advantage of the loopholes be warned that there could be consequences from T-mobile in the form of extra charges.
 
I called TMO Blackberry support and was told you can use it with Blackberry Email Add On, I also emailed customer support twice and recieved two emails back verifying it. I just recieved my 4th bill with no additional charges so I will stick with the plan. I appreciate your input, but my bases are covered and if something comes up I have a copies for protection and the mistake falls in their court. If you take the time there are quite a few people on here who use it people on Crackberry and Blackberry Forums. As for loopholes it just like taxes or any other loophole in business or law until the loophole is closed in writing it's there no foul.
