You need a bona fide Blackberry Data Plan to get the real BB features like push email, web browsing, and BB Messenger. A regular data plan can be used with some work-arounds but it's an imperfect solution and never gives you complete functionality of the BB

The prosumer BlackBerry Data Plan is $30 per month from Verizon.
It will automatically be added to your account when you activate a BlackBerry.
There's no way to not have a BlackBerry Data Plan on Verizon.

Yeah soup hit it
It depends on the carrier Verizon and Sprint lump them together and just activate the BB data once you activate your BB; its the same as buying a regular data plan with those two as far as I'm aware.

A blackberry isn't a blackberry without the blackberry internet plan.
