I currently have the Blackberry Titanium the new one with the full keyboard on the out side, and i have the unlimited Internet ( Data ) plan along with unlimited photo and video texting. I use the internet VERY RARLY and i pay about $20 for it, In total it rounds up to over $100. But i dont have the unlimited CALLING plan wich gets me a bit mad becuase i have to watch my minutes and i dont like that, i only get 450 minutes wich sucks. but i really dont use the phone to call any one i use it to call RARELY. Here is what i need help on please, and i thankyou so much for reading this and helping me
OPTIONS:
(A) Keep everything as it is
(B) Get rid of the internet data plan and add another CALLING plan since you dont use the internet and you need more minutes
(C) YOU CAN GIVE ME YOUR OPINION
I want to thank you so much in advanced if you are willing to help. God Bless!

Take a look at your bills. Usually on about the third page or so, it will give a break down of your minutes. Look at where it says Peak minutes. This will let you know how many minutes you have used for the last month. Log on to your on-line account, and look at your past bills for the last 3-4 months to see your average minutes you use each month. This will give you an idea of what you use to know what plan suits you best.
If you drop the data plan, you would be billed at $.01 a kb for the data charges. If you don't want to worry about data charges, and don't plan to use it at all, you can have a data block added.
If you are saying your plan costs $100 a month, and you are on the 450 min plan with a $20 data plan, it sounds like there is something else on their to make it that much.

Speaking from experience as a former wireless salesperson, I never recommend the base 450 anytime plan unless the customer is very rarely going to use the phone - that translates to about 12 minutes for every weekday of use. (Assuming unlimited M2M and 5000 N/W). Especially if it's going to be your primary, or your only, phone.
If you're strapped for minutes, consider this - is 12 minutes every weekday enough for you?
You're paying $39.99 for 450 anytime minutes, plus $20 for unlimited messaging, and $30 for a PDA data plan. That's $89.99 month.
Assuming you want to keep unlimited messaging, as an alternative, you can up your plan to 900 min/mo for $59.99, or you can go with 1350 anytime minutes for $79.99, plus you get unlimited N/W instead of 5000. Or get the $99 unlimited calling plan, and not worry about minutes.
So by dropping the $30/mo you're paying for the data plan that you hardly ever use, you can double your anytime minutes and pay $10 less that you did before, or you can more than triple them for $10 more than what you're paying right now.
Or you can get unlimited calling and pay only $30 more.
HTH.
