BlackBerry and Data package

If i get BlackBerry and pay for the Data Package
would i also be able to get card for laptop so I can get on internet
anywhere? What I mean would I have to pay for just 1 data package or
would i have to get one for blackberry and one for card for laptop?

You can connect to your laptop via the blackberry and use it as a modem.
However, your blackberry needs to be provisioned for this to work, and
it's a $15/month add-on from verizon to allow it.

You'll need to call 611, select Data tech support, and let the rep know
what you're trying to do. They'll set you up from there.

Oh yeah, there should also be a VZAccess manager CD that came with your
blackberry. You'll need to install that on the laptop in order for it
to work.

If you lost the CD, you can download the software here:

Fill out the form, indicate what model blackberry you have, and it will
take you to the link to download.
