    Default I Need Help With My Family Plan.....iPhone,BB.Curve,BB.Bold...PLEASE

    I have a family plan with my wife. I have a iphone plan and she has a curve. We have shared min/text and then we both pay extra each for media packages. I thinks its about $30 dollars each. I also own a bold And want to activate it on my plan but dont want to get burned. My bill runs around $170 to $180 a month for me and my wife and cant really put anyextra pressure on there. I was wondering how much extra do you think it will be to just add the bold to my plan? Can i cancel my iphone plan and get it with a lower plan and get a blackberry plan instead.?? My blackberry is unlocked and the iphone i can unlock if needed. What i want is to use my iphone for internet/email/phone and all the lovely apps,3g for sling. The bold i need text,3g,email,hmmm i think thats it...oh and i would like to use BBM....?????

    Please can anyone help me firgure this out... Thanks

    Well, if you want all that stuff, you gotta be willing to pay.

    So your problem is that you want these added features but don't want to pay for them?

    It doesn't sound like you really need 2 phones anyway
    To live, you have to lie

    BBM uses blackberry data plan, so you'll have to have a BB data plan on your plan. However, you can just cancel your iPhone data plan and replace it with a BB data plan. All your features will work on your BB, and same goes for your iPhone. The only thing you'd lose is visual voicemail, but that's a small price to pay.

    This sounds GREAT. I will try this but what kind of plan do i get for iphone or am i switching just the sim.???? IM confused because this means i would need 2 sim cards one for my bb and one for iphone.?? im lost on how to pull this off..??

    Are you saying for me to switch to bb plan and get a payas you go for iphone and it will still work just not for visual voicemail????

    Or do i just change to bb plan and get a regular free phone added to my plan to use shared min/text and add 15 dollar unlitled data plan and add that sim to my iphone??????? I use the internet and 3G on my iphone ALOT and would use my bold for texts and emails...

    Ok so I am going to switch my plan from the iphone to a BB and add it to my family plan. After i do this and i dont have a iphone plan. What type of plan do i add next to get the iphone working again.? I would have to order another phone cause i do not have a extra sim. So when the extra phone arrives i would just switch the sim and get it working. Do i have this right or am i missing something??????
