Then I bought a Blackberry from ebay and tried to do the same, but because(according the the local store) of the "blackberry server service" I couldn't opt out of the $40/month. However my sister who doesn't have the mobile web on her plan(she has a moto q9c) can access the web free of the $1.99/day charge but is charged by the minute. This is only a problem because WM phones don't disconnect the data connection after use. Anyway the point is for $40 less than what they wanted me to pay, I get unlimited data and messaging.

how did you get them to let you get the let you opt out? I tried to get my diamond on a new account I opened with them and they said I had to get the full package. I currently use my diamond on a prepaid plan where I pay .10/min on the data, I just keep the data turned off on my diamond unless I need it, but it would be nice to opt out and pay the 5/month, but they wouldn't let me, probaly cause when I called to add it they asked what kind of phone it was and I said a htc diamond...

any advice on how to do this with them?
