There's no setting (as far as I know) for limiting what sort of traffic your Android draws from the network
Thanks - this really helps. I will call TMO tomorrow and find out if the following is permitted:

1. If and when i get android phone, I know I have to sign up for both voice and data plan [need data plan to activate the phone and various functions]. And lock myself for 2 year contract

2. When I go on one of my regular overseas trips, can I revert back to my BB plan (data) without any penalties and/or re-set the two year contract clock.

That way, I can switch to my BB when overseas, and use the android with a prepaid local country sim.

PS: ScottC - didn't mean to imply trying BB email plan on the Android phone; realize that's wouldn't work
