I posted this on CB, but I figured I’d run it by the people here… I have a family plan with 4 lines. 2 are eligible for new phones with a discount (NE2, or whatever the promotion is). I currently have a Storm that I ordered with my primary phone line. This is the only line with a data/BB plan. Can I order a Tour online for one of the other lines and then activate the Tour on my primary line? I don’t want a data plan on any additional lines. I understand that I’ll be using the upgrade credit for one of my lines and that if I need a new phone for that line in the near future, I will pay full retail. I’m OK with that. I just don’t want to run into problems with the data plan or activation. ---

Yes. Get the upgrade on the line that’s eligible. Once activated, switch to primary line. I do this all the time on my family plan. ---

They really don’t sell many Blackberries… and the Tour is supposed to be marketed as a mid-to-high-end product. Somewhere between the new curve (supposedly “very consumer level”) and the Bold (supposedly “high end”). ---

Anyone have a Curve that they want to sell me? I should unload my Storm before the Tour comes in! ---

So BB tethering. I have to upgrade from the $29.99 data plan to the $45 dollar plan right? Then I should be good to go? ---

> [@Geehee](#): > > fry, you will go from $30 to $60 for tethering. Sure enough. $30 to add tethering. How does tetherberry work? I don’t get how it’s a one time fee and not a service, or how Verizon hasn’t blocked it. ---

Probably against the terms of service. One time fee to buy the program. Probably won’t get caught unless you use like 10gb of data a month. I use 3+gb/mo legitimately, no tethering. 🤓 ---

I use 3+gb/mo legitimately, no tethering. 🤓 Exactly. Just don’t get silly with the bandwidth and Verizon will never catch on. It works with all current versions of Windows including Windows 7. I believe there is a Mac version either coming soon or in beta now. ---

The carrier knows you’re using data, but they have no idea if it’s going to your phone or passing thru to a laptop. Other than doing something dumb like downloading windows updates with it. ---
