Just to let you people know, a similar thing exists with Cingular. When you buy a PDA from them, they will charge you $50 for the PDA Bundle plan which includes unlimited texting and internet. All you need to do is get a hold of an old GSM phone you have lying around the house, call Cingular, and give them the IMEI number of the phone. Tell them that it is the phone that you are currently using on this plan. You will then be able to switch to the $35 Media Max Bundle. BTW, the phone model that it shows you have online is NOT the indication of what they have in the system. You MUST give them the IMEI of a non-PDA phone in order for this to work.
On a side note, this morning my phone was vibrating off the hook and it really pissed me off, so I picked it up and threw it across the room. Of course the battery flew out when it hit the wall, but this same scenario has happened before and it's always ok afterwards. However, this morning when I tried turning on my phone, I got a white screen and nothing worked to get it fixed. Oh well. Lesson learned. Anyway, I stopped by a Cingular store and picked up a BlackJack II since they didn't have my phone in stock. What's the point of my story...you may ask? I'm convinced - actually I'm 100% certain - that I can type faster on my old phone with T9 than I can with a full keyboard. I think that's pretty awesome. I hate this new phone and I can't wait to call Cingular XBM (Exchange By Mail) and get my phone replaced under the warranty.
