No you won't be able to, if you're on an iPhone 3G data plan.

If you want full usability of both phones, I would recommend changing your iPhone 3G plan to the BlackBerry Bold 3G plan. That's what I do.

You need a BlackBerry plan to use half the features on a BlackBerry, on the iPhone, you don't need any plan to access any of it's features, that's why its best to be on the BB Bold plan. Best of both worlds.

Do you have both of them? If you do can I ask which one do you prefer? My plan is to use the bold for work and my iphone on the weekends.

Yes I do have both.

To be honest, I prefer them both equally.

For me, it's not about which phone I prefer, it's about which phone I need since they both do different things very well.

If you are a heavy emailer, that's where the Bold truly shines.

Just 1 more question. Do you have a plan for each phone or do you just swap the sims back and forth? I really appreciate you answering these questions for me...

No problem. I only have one plan, all I do is swap the SIM card.

What does the BB bold data plan cost? Do you lose the visual voicemail?

It is the same price as the iPhone 3G's data plan, and yes you do lose Visual Voicemail as it's only apart of the iPhone's data plan. To me, it's worth it because I don't mind using regular voicemail, and because I can use email, internet, BBMessenger, etc, on the BlackBerry.
