Will a blackberry work without a data plan?

[.PrettyBoy32.]

If you only want a phone for the basics no point in wasting your money on a blackberry, You will have so many functions that won't work its pointless....

Can't you disable the internet connection separately?

i highly doubt it, although i've never tried to TBH

because i dont need it.

you should get a regular "non smartphone"

No point to having any smart phone without the data plan.

yeah, that basically defeats the purpose.

Pretty much, data phones have a lot of capabilities optimized for a data connection.

Maybe there is a tweak somewhere. I know some smart phones can.

It will work but not to its full self, Your best bet is to get the data plan.......
Why wouldn't you?

ive owned a lg shine for the past 3 years. im not down with laptop priced phones. plus i dont intend to browse and check email on the phone, i can do that at home. im gettin thi barely used BB for $120. i think its a steal.. u?

so it will still work a normal cellphone minus the apps, correct?

Well, you can get a plan that includes, phone, txt, web, pic + vid for like $70 a month. That's what I have.

i had a sprint blackberry phone and it allowed me to use it without data but it sucked without it. but now that i have data plan i love that **** life is way easier with a smart phone.
