Sprint Activiating Curve 8530 on Old Plans with BIS Loophole

Humberto Saabedra

Not long after the launch of the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530, PhoneNews.com has received reports that customers on older Sprint plans that do not want to switch to an Everything Data plan to purchase the device can add on the $10 BIS service to their current plan in order to purchase the device.

The reports also infer that the best way to complete the above is by calling customer service, but it should be done quickly as Sprint will no doubt close the loophole soon.
