I have blackberry pearl for a while now. No data plan. I came across the article "How to Connect to Internet with Your BlackBerry without Paying For Data Plan100" on hubpages. Is that true. Did it work for anyone. Any suprise charges in the bill. Let me know.

Thanks
Pepsi.

Welcome to the forums.

If you don't have any form of data plan, you should expect charges. Take a look here:
