Is it possible to use the Vibrant with the T-Mobile unlimited Blackberry plan?

I use a blackberry during the week, and on weekends I'd like to swap to the Vibrant, but I can't change the blackberry plan to the Android plan since it is our business standard.

Anyone know if this can work?
 
My $19.99 grandfathered BIS plan has always worked with Android phones. I do a similiarcsetup as the OP. I mainly use my blackberry bold 9700 on weekdays and switch to my Vibrant on weekends using my $19.99 bis.

I have kept my sim in my Vibrant for as long as 14 days while on vacation and never had any of my data blocked. So it does work.

I have had both G1 and Vibrant. With both phones I have used my $19.99 blackberry unlimited BIS without any issues.

My data has never been blocked. I switch between my Blackberry and Android a lot. Like I said. I use my blackberry on weekdays and my Vivrant on weekends. And obviously I would know if my data would be blocked.

But it's never been blocked.

My brother has same BIS data plan and he switches between android and blackberry and his data has never been blocked.

I think the G1 was before they had an Android only plan, so it would have worked with any data plan. I tried to use my BIS plan when I first got my Vibrant. It worked for about 1 day before I started getting the upgrade notice every time I tried to use the data connection.


I've used a mytouch 3g, G1, Vibrant with my $19.99 BIS plan with Tmobile. Tmobile has never blocked my data.

When I log into my tmobile online, tmobile obviously recognizes I am using a Samsung Vibrant. They won't let me make any changes unless I change to a Android data plan (obviously, I don't choose this option). I use switch my SIM back into my Blackberry Bold 9700 and than wait a few hours and Tmobile recognizes my Bold 9700 and allows me to make online changes (like adding international blackberry data etc).

But I have been on the 19.99 BIS for over 4 years and use Android phones (including the Vibrant) without any issues.

Like I said before my brother does the same with his vibrant with his blackberry data plan.

I don't know why tmobile has never blocked our data plan.
