Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
If you have a Blackberry and use Verizon how much is your monthly payment? DH and I are up for new phones and we're curious as to what the payment is going to be a month with a Blackberry.
Also, which Blackberry from Verizon is best? TIA!

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
DH and I are on a share plan with VZW and two blackberries:
$60 for 700 minutes
+ $9.99 for additional line
+ $29.99 (x 2) for each data plan
+ other fees and taxes
= about $150 per month
As for which BB is best, I suggest you go to the store and take a look. It's up to personal preference if you want a touch screen (Storm) or not (Tour) or the more basic original (Curve).

TY!
Is the 700 minutes for just talking on the phone? (Not part of checking e-mail or web browsing?)

Yes, it's for using the phone during peak airtime. You still get the nights and weekends free. Web browsing and checking email is unlimited with the data plan. (and you can't get a BB without also getting a data plan) Hope this helps!

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
with tax and everything $106 a month
I think I have 900 minutes- unlimited texting (which I no longer need b/c I BBM)
I don't need all those minutes- but there was so reason it didn't make sense to drop them

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
I get a 22% discount through my job, so Verizon is the best for us right now.
I have a BB, DH has an EnV3.
700 minutes shared
+ $9.99 extra line
+ unlimited texting
+ data plan
+ insurance on my BB because i'm a spaz
-------------------------------
$121 per month.
If i remember correctly, you're a teacher, right? You're entitled to a 19% discount with verizon. Call *611 and ask about it.

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
Strictly for FYI purposes only, you could pay pretty much the same thing (possibly less) for 2 BlackBerry phones with Sprint, but instead of sharing 700 minutes, you would get 1500 anytime minutes.
The plan would include:
1500 anytime minutes to share
Unlimited N&W minutes starting at 7pm (instead of 9 with Verizon)
Unlimited text messaging
Unlimited Blackberry personal email (up to 10 accounts)
Unlimited Data: web, GPS Navigation, Music and TV Premier
The price of the plan is normally $129.99 for 2 phones.
I work for Sprint and if you were interested in switching, I could get you the same plan with 1600 minutes for $109.99 per month + tax.

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
I just got a Blackberry for myself on Sunday and it's $60 for 750 minutes. The data plan for the Blackberry is an additional $30 per phone but does not include texting.
You can get unlimited texting for an additional $30 or 500 texts per month for an additional $10 (this is what I use).
You should also ask about discounts because I apparently get 19% off of my plan because of where I work. You just have to bring in a pay stub to prove it.
I got the Curve and it works fine. It's $150 at BJs with a $100 mail-in rebate. The Verizon guy said he didn't recommend the Storm (the one like the iPhone).

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
I have Blackberry Curve 8330, DH has BB Storm. He gets 21% off for employer discount..
We have Family Share Plan with Family/friends
1400 shared min+10 family/friends numbers(we use the family freinds ALOT, so much we use like 200 min max a month combined of the 1400 mins and we use our cell phones as primary phones, no home phone for us)
Unlimited text for both of us
and 29.99 BB data plan
With taxes for both phones with DH's discount we pay about 145-150 a month.
I would LOVE The BB Tour...but i have to wait 
ETA: I LOVE the curve, Dh is ehh about his phone..he refuses to talk on it cause it makes his face hot..

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
Posting from my BB Storm now - I have no complaints.
DH and I both have the Storm and pay same as Sticklee. $150 for both with all taxes.
Neither of us text much, so our plan does not include unlimited texting.

Re: Verizon Monthly Payment for Blackberry
Don't forget you get the automatic $30 charge just for having the blackberry with Verizon.
