no contract unlimited data plan on Blackberry with tmobile
I can not stand being without my Blackberry so I unlocked my Blackberry from at&t and activated the device on T-Mobile with a data only plan. What is a data only plan you may ask.
Well I was told by the T-Mobile rep that I could only use the internet but I found that not to be completely correct. I did send text from the device and using Google voice but when I try to make a call I was sent to a recording saying that this is not allowed and to call customer service.
I went to Myt-mobile.com to checkout my services and confirm if any additional charges.
The first thing I notice after registering and logging in was my data usage that shown for the day but I did see text that I sent. The text was not shown but I saw unlimited picture messaging so I clicked the chat button on T-Mobile’s site to get a better explanation of the plan.
After the conversation I emailed the whole transcript to myself and it is copied below.
You have been connected to _Cavin H._Cavin H:
Hi Curtis , welcome to T-Mobile live Chat. I’m
Cavin and I will be happy to assist you. Please give me a moment to review your question._
Cavin H: I can see where this can be a concern for you, I know you want to make sure that you are not charged for anything extra._
Cavin H: I will be more than happy to look into this for you.
Curtis Matthews: ok_
Cavin H: One moment please._Cavin H: I am still researching this, please allow me 2-3 more minutes.
Curtis Matthews: ok_
Cavin H: Thank you._
Cavin H: It is unlimited text messaging.
Curtis Matthews: Are you sure_
Cavin H: Let me double check.
Curtis Matthews: Online under my account it says unlimited picture messages_
Cavin H: I do see that._
Cavin H: It does not include text, sorry about that.Curtis Matthews: So I do not have text but I have unlimited picture messages?_
Cavin H: Correct.
Curtis Matthews: So I can not text or do I get charged?_
Cavin H: You will get charged.
Curtis Matthews: What will I be charged?_
Cavin H: $0.20 per message.
Curtis Matthews: Why then can I not see the usage online if I sent text_
Cavin H: Because it hasn’t shown that there have been any sent to this point.
Curtis Matthews: I did send a couple about 5 hours ago._
Cavin H: It hasn’t shown up on the system, yet.
Curtis Matthews: But all the data usage shows now. So what you are telling me is that I will see the text usage tomorrow for text?_
Cavin H: More than likely.
Curtis Matthews: Can you check to see for sure._
Cavin H: Unfortuantely, we can only check, when it shows up on our end.Curtis Matthews: So instead of sending a text if I send the message as a MMS I will not get billed?_
Cavin H: Correct.
Curtis Matthews: That does not make sense but ok._
Cavin H: It is an odd little plan.Curtis Matthews: Very odd
Curtis Matthews: So I can block text and only use MMS?_
Cavin H: No, we can only block text and mms.
Curtis Matthews: So if I send someone a MMS and they reply y text I get charged unless they reply as a MMS. But you can send a MMS without a picture or any attachment._
Cavin H: You would have to send a mms from a picture on the phone.
Curtis Matthews: No I can just select MMS from my Blackberry and it gives me the option of attaching pictures, music or a voice note._
Cavin H: Then you can.
Curtis Matthews: ok thanks_
Cavin H: Not a problem._
Cavin H: Is there anything else we can assist you with today?
Curtis Matthews: no thanks_
Cavin H: Thank you for contacting T-Mobile Chat, have a great evening!
make money referring new at&t customers
A few months ago I began marketing for new at&t customers by using the at&t referral rewards.This is money just for referring a new at&t customer. First wanted to know all the details of this referral program so I signed up myself and started referring. It took me about three months to make $600, that’s the yearly limit from referrals. Referrals could be for any at&t new service for example U-Verse, DSL, Home phone, Cell phone service and DirecTV. The money is paid on Visa reward cards, which can be spent anywhere Visa is accepted. I paid my U-Verse, got gas, paid my Verizon Wireless bill, Sprint bill and used it at a restaurant. (When using the reward cards at a restaurant it automatically adds the tip on it so be aware of that.)
The only prerequisite for someone to be able to get the reward cards for referring new at&t customers is you must have a at&t service in you name. I have U-Verse and a cell phone with at&t. My girlfriend only has a cell phone service with at&t and she is already spending her reward cards.
When you refer someone you must refer the customer and enter the new billing account number from the service they got from at&t to qualify for the referral. This is where I come in I can get all at&t services for a customer and I will help you with the referral process. It does not matter where they get the at&t service from as long as you refer the customer before the order new at&t service.
traveling overseas and want to use a sim card from that country
When traveling overseas one of the best ways to save money on roaming fees is to buy an unlocked GSM cell phone and use a prepaid sim card from that country that you are visiting. Prepaid cell phone service is sold everywhere overseas in the airport and almost every corner block. The calls are much less expensive and most of the time you have unlimited incoming calls. The last time I went to Trinidad I spent $30 for the sim card and my minutes for the two weeks I was over there. If I had used my regular phone roaming it would of cost me $2 a minute and with all the calls I made my bill would have been in the hundreds for the roaming cost. I unlocked my Blackberry Bold 9000 before I went and used a sim card from Bmobile a local wireless carrier.
An unlocked cell phone can use any sim card from any GSM wireless provider. One of the important things to look for in an unlocked cell phone is the GSM frequency. Some GSM cell phone have one or two frequencies like the Motorola F3. The Motorola F3 is 850/1900 a 2 band phone that would work on any GSM provider in the United States since the U.S. only use two GSM bands 850/1900 it would not be a problem. AT&T uses 850/1900 and T-Mobile uses 1900 GSM networks but countries like Europe and the rest of the world use sometimes the 900 or the 1800 GSM networks.
Now the best phone to have for roaming is the quad band GSM, which is used for global calls where GSM network coverage is present. The Motorola V3 Razr works on these GSM Networks: GSM 850, 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. The Quad band GSM phone is always the best type of unlocked cell phone for traveling.
Motorola Razr Unlocked $79.99
Pandora is now playing ads on my blackberry 9700
I have been listening to Pandora almost everyday in the gym while I workout and just recently I started hearing an advertisement on Pandora. I have heard that you hear ads when listening to Pandora from a computer but I did not know ads would be played on my mobile.
I am not complaining Pandora is my favorite application on my Blackberry and I use it so much so what I hear and ad now once in a while. They used to only have ads on the screen when I looked at the Blackberry device but now after a few songs I hear one ad.
The one ad seems to come every half an hour and that ad has been the same ad over and over again. Springhill Suites is the only advertisement I hear on Pandora. I have not had any ads played before and now only Springhill Suites.
I would think Pandora would have me in their data base as a listener that selects high energy music around the same time almost every morning. This would mean I use the music for working out or energizing myself in the morning. Then the ads should be targeted for me with workout ads or energy drinks, something that would be more relevant than Springhill Suites.

Blackberry Business Feature
On February 16, 2010, Research In Motion (RIM) announced a new service called BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express, or “BES Express,” which allows customers on personal BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) rate plans access to their corporate e-mail (behind the corporate firewall) provided their company enables the service by deploying the BES Express Server.
BES Express is scheduled for release March 1, 2010. RIM will distribute BES Express directly from www.blackberry.com. BES Express Server Software must be installed by the business for the service to work.Key Points:• BES Express does not offer all the features and functionality of a full BES.•
There is no charge to companies for BES Express Software, or for the Client Access Licenses (CALs) required to access it. • A customer must install and maintain the server, and provide IT support for the overall solution.
at&t demo line
On February 8th I got my ANR line from at&t. That’s the reduced rate cell phone service they offer employees and at&t authorized dealers. I gave up my old plan that was grandfather in with unlimited incoming calls.
My plan with at&t before the ANR line was a $39.99 plan with 600 rollover minutes, 5000 mobile to mobile and 5000 nights and weekends. I also had $14.99 for unlimited incoming calls, $30 for unlimited Blackberry Data, $15 for 1500 messages and $4.99 for insurance my total bill after tax is $109.
Now I pay $35 before tax for 2000 minutes with unlimited nights/ weekends, mobile to mobile, unlimited messaging, unlimited Blackberry, insurance and 100 minutes video share.
I avoided making this change for years because I did not want to lose my control over my line. Now that I am on a ANR line I have to ask permission for features and I can not use the Apple iPhone. Before I got the ANR line I would swap back and forth from the iPhone and Blackberry.
These days times are hard and anyway we can save money is a good thing.

Wordpress Application for Blackberry
I got a tweet today saying the Wordpress app was upgraded for Blackberry. So I went to Blackberry App World and downloaded the Wordpress application.
This post is being done now from my Blackberry Bold 9700. I was able to put in the tags and pick the categories within the application.
This is a lot faster than doing the post in the Bolt browser like I was doing before. I even took a picture and placed it in this post. The video that I took was to large I think to upload from this application so I had to delete and repost.
This is a great application to do my post so far. I can write to multiple Blogs. I am now beginning to use this application and will keep everyone updated with what I like or dislike about this WordPress app. This is a free application on the Blackberry App World.
