Rogers’ new $15 unlimited email plan for Pearl only!


Rogers Wireless logoWell thanks to a tip we got last week and confirmation from our friends at CrackBerry. It seems that Rogers has officially launched their $15 unlimited email plan, however get this it's only compatible with the Pearl. Customers can not put this data plan on any other BlackBerry device (including 8700R, Curve, 8800, etc). However you can pick up a Pearl for only $99 with renewal of course if you have a voice plan that meets the requirements. 

Q. Can customers access the Mobile Internet or Rogers Zone via the Rogers WAP Browser or Do More icon?
A.
No. Although the Rogers WAP Browser and Do More icons are displayed on the BlackBerry Pearl home screen, if a customer clicks on the Rogers WAP Browser, they will be presented with the following error message “You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. As a result, the Browser cannot retrieve any Web Pages. Please try again when you are in a different location, or contact your service provider if the problem persists."

Q. Why is unlimited email only offered on Personal E-mail on BlackBerry?
A. Personal E-mail on BlackBerry does not support browsing, tethering, and third party applications which consume far more data than e-mail and instant messaging alone. For this reason, customers who want to use their BlackBerry Pearl for more than just personal e-mail and instant messaging must subscribe to a BlackBerry E-mail Plan that allows browsing or a BlackBerry Voice & E-mail Package.

Q. Can I purchase a Mobile Internet Plan if I want to browse the Internet?

A. Personal E-mail on BlackBerry blocks access to the Internet for browsing or tethering, therefore you cannot add a Mobile Internet Plan. If customers want to access the Internet they should subscribe to a BlackBerry E-mail Plan that allows browsing.

Q. Will applications such as Telenav, Rogers MusicStore, Ask Me Now, work with Personal E-mail on BlackBerry?

A. Personal E-mail on BlackBerry blocks access to the Internet for browsing and tethering, therefore you cannot add a Windows Mobile Plan.

Q. If I download an application to my PC, and install it using my BlackBerry Desktop Manager onto my BlackBerry, can I still use the application?
A.
No. Third party applications will not operate with Personal E-mail on BlackBerry.
