  With VZW, we've never been asked, nor told VZW, that we're using a
BES.  The BBs "just work".  Other carriers may be different.  I don't
remember for Nextel.

  We *have* had a case where VZW provisioned a mobile subscriber
incorrectly.  It wasn't in their system as BlackBerry at all, they had
it as some other kind of mobile device.  *That* caused the BB to not
work.

  Sure.  VZW calls it an "email plan", but same thing.  But if you
don't subscribe to said email plan, you don't get email on the BB *at
all*.  It's not an extra fee for BES.
