Yeah, this is new. As stated correctly above, the blackberrys couldn't do MMS messaging without the 20 buck data plan.
What I came to add: If you have a pearl, without the data plan, this will automatically get added to your account. But not to the 8800 or any other blackberry for that matter.
Are yo positive on the fact that they will auto-add this? i went to a t-mobile store to request this be activated and the guy had no idea what was going on. He even called someone and they confirmed that i needed the data plan. how will i know if i have this on my account?
