I had an account with nextel and they would always make me buy one of the text data pakage plans on top of the blackberry data package. When i switched to sprint they tried the same thing, but i didnt have a long history on a screen right in front of thier faces. If you didnt already know you can get an unlimited sms plan added on for 5bucks, but only if your a blackberry customer. You will probably have to talk to a few people. It seems that most of the sales reps dont know about it. hope this is helpful.

You are right you have to be persistant but they do have it~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

Well I just called Sprint Customer service and I didn't have to be persistant at all ! I talked to a representive and 2 minutes later my txt message plan was changed to 5.00/unlimited ! :D This option isn't advertised anywhere, to my knowledge, not even online. Great deal. Thanks for sharing that info. Tips don't get much better! :D

[LLPRODENT]

[flash24]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~5 bucks for unlimited sms is a heck of a deal!

[LLPRODENT]

[portal]

[melerant]

Ive called sprint/nextel and found out the specific referance code for sprint.Its #c2wsmsunl 4bb It is only available for consumer accounts. hope this makes it easier

[Dispatcher35]

Is this for Srint or for Nextel? The Nextel rep I spoke to this morning could not find it nor could he find a $5 unlimited messaging plan on the Nextel side.

I even gave him the SOC which the computer would not take.

[LLPRODENT]

its only for sprint

[Dispatcher35]

That explains it

[diaz1023]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~well I got mine, but might call back to get it for 2.99

[waynesutton]

After buying my bb 7130e from Sprint (and admittedly a little ignorant about the bb functionality), I spent about an hour arguing with Sprint that resulted in getting 500 SMS each month for free. I wasn't aware of the PIN messaging capabilities and their website (sprint.com/blackberry > Products and Services > Wireless Data > Details tab) states the wireless data plan features include: Integrated SMS — Quickly exchange short text messages with other SMS-enabled devices. Send messages to your office or dispatch for technicians. Once I finally got a supervisor on the line, they agreed to give me the SMS for free for the terms of my contract. I'm not sure if they really meant to state PIN messages are included, but their site doesn't say that nor does it say additional fees will apply for SMS and I truly believe they are advertising SMS as included in their data plans and should either correct their site or honor their advertising.

Congratulations on your 7130e

Thanks much. It's a great phone. Although if Sprint gets the Pearl I'd have to consider switching.

Is this still true? I'm being hit with $15/month for unlimited as if I'm not paying enough for my blackberry data plan.

[waynesutton]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ hey it worked for me I had to get the “right“ person on the phone last month but I got it.

[melerant]

Yes it is still available. the code is still #c2wsmsunl 4bb

[BooBee]

Thanks I'll have to call and inquire. It's BS that I'm paying $15/month for unlimited text msgs.

-BooBee

[BigW34]

Thanks for the heads up!!! I just called an hour ago and got my unlimited SMS for 5 bucks! Hell yeah! I had to find the "right person" also and had to keep giving them the code over and over again till they finally found it in the system.

Thanks again!

Now only if I could get unlimited bb data/internet for 5 bucks...heck even 10! Anyone got a code for that...haha.

Oh...and also, it not only for consumer. I have a business account b/c I get a discount through my job and I called and got it for 5 bucks too...just read my post above.

[cp6169]

Just to clarify that is a CDMA code, will not work on a Nextel BB. The closet you can get with Nextel is $7.50/month for unlimited.

[jmann]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~whats the code for NEXTEL?

[tina_twyman]

I just called 2/8/07 and I got unlimited for $5 (I also was paying $15). $40 is a hefty amount to pay and on top of that $15 for unlimited text messages. It didn't take long for BB customer service to chg the plan for me...

[hjs1978]

Any code for Tmobile unlimited text for $5?

[BooBee]

I called 4 times and each rep said a $5 plan does not exist. I even called the local store that normally hooks me up with deals and they don't know about this either. Grrr! I'm screwed until I finally get someone on the phone that will hook me up.

[melerant]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~#c2wsmsunl 4bb

They don't advertise the sms plan and most sales reps don't know about it because its not advertised. The code that sprint uses in their system is. #c2wsmsunl 4bb if you give them this reference they will see the offer. It is only available for consumer plans not corporate.
