[PhyscoAssassinx]

ok so someone is trying to buy the xv 6700 but they want to know if they NEED a data plan or can they use the phone and text without the data plan? and honestly i have no idea

Hi. The 6700 does not require you to purchase a Data Plan. You can block it or get it on a pay as you go for 1.5 cents per KB or 45 dollars per month for unlimited usage. The 6700 is at a disadvantage becuase the 6800 on up can use the 30 dollar email and web plan. If he were to wanna do internet the 6800 would be a better phone for him. The pay as you go is the worst route to go. Either get a block or get a plan. Beware though that some reps might tell you that it is required on ALL PDA phones since the 11/14/08 change in policy. Tell them too look it over again, it states that phones released before that date do NOT require it. Hope this helps Tell this person to come to PPCGeeks so we can help him enjoy his 6700 even more

Also forgot to mention that the difference between the 45 dollar plan and the 30 dollar plan is that with the 45 one you can get a direct push mail account from them, it is not worth it, use MobiPush to push your current e-mail for free. The 30 one is just for native Web and Pop/Imap e-mail apps. They both are the same in speeds, which are pretty fast as well. It is rediculous they don't offer the 30 dollar plan to 6700 customers. It has made many people mad...

You probably aren't interested since you asked if you NEED a plan but I just thought I would give you the run down on why different pricing.

I went and looked at MobiPush because I use something similiar. However, I didnt see where MobiPush does Hotmail/MSN/Live accounts so IF you are looking for that then you might wanna try www.seven.com
