BlackBerry 10 wifi vs data plan

• BlackBerry Smartphone Wifi and data plan

  I can't use my wifi when my data plan is turned off so that means if I was abroad and he wanted to use my wifi I have to turn on the data plan and I then will charge even if the wifi is free?

  I talked to my SP and they said that I get charged if I used my data abroad plan.

  If anyone can confirm here that you can not use wifi if no data plan?

  I'm following you better now, thank you.

  How do they say that I use my data service if my sim card is not in the phone

  You do not use the data service IF even the SIM card is removed.

  For example, I have a Bold 9000 sitting here with me with no SIM in there either. If I turn off data services, WiFi browser does not work. If turn ON data services, WiFi, browser will work. This "BOLD" PIN is saved with ANY carrier. No data of the carrier service is used.

• Z10 Z10 blackBerry on a normal data plan (not BIS)

  After researching if the Z10 operates on a data plan normal and not a BIS and of course it worked perfectly on Wi - Fi without a SIM card, wanted to just make sure that they are compatible with a normal cellular data plan, I went for it yesterday and Yes, everything worked except BBM, hell the BlackBerry logo disappeared from the home screen. I have contacted my provider and they shocked me, they told me it is not possible to not have an ENCORE with the Z10, and they were surprised, I was able to browse the net and send and receive e-mails, and they said they cannot support me!
  So why did I do that? A normal data plan is cheaper here, in the UNITED Arab Emirates, my cancelled BIS gave me 500 MB to 79AED, and the normal data plan gives me 1 GB for 50AED. Is there no work around for this before that I have to go back?

  Hey ya3goub,

  Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

  Thanks for the question.

  10 blackBerry smartphones require a data plan normal of your network service provider.  However the network service provider must support BlackBerry 10, otherwise some BlackBerry services will not work.

  Also BIS data plans are not available for smartphones BlackBerry 10.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  See you soon.

• An other 'Wifi without data plan"blackBerry smartphones Question - Rogers Canada

  Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and blackberries in general... Please bear with me.

  I am a student. Currently, I have a voice plan base on a LG Xenon with Rogers in the Canada. It includes minutes and unlimited texting. Enough for me.

  I am looking to buy a Blackberry Curve 3 G/9300 off someone. I just want to throw my SIM in there so I can use my normal plan with the phone. My understanding is that I can phone Rogers and tell them to block all data, if I get no charge on my Bill. Fine. However, I also understand that the 9300 is a wi - fi phone.

  Let's say that I get the 9300, contact Rogers and tell them to block all data on my plan.
  Can I still use my browser in a Wi - Fi hotspot? How should I do? (I know that I read somewhere that you need to configure to be about to access and not talkspot... If someone could help me with this that would be great).

  Also, I read that, so that I am still able to use a wi - fi connection, I need to have data 'on' in the phone. If the data is 'on' in the phone, but I've blocked data with Rogers, can I still use a wi - fi connection? This would prevent the costs of data on my Bill?

  In addition, I understand that I will not be able to receive multimedia messages without a data plan. Once again, if I'm in a wi - fi hotspot... Can I receive these messages from photos?

  I'm sure it's a question very well known and well hated to you all and I'm really sorry to ask, but I just need some clarification. I don't want to be stuck with a big Bill with I ever intend on paying data charges. If someone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you very much!

  Also, I read that, so that I am still able to use a wi - fi connection, I need to have data 'on' in the phone. If the data is 'on' in the phone, but I've blocked data with Rogers, can I still use a wi - fi connection?

  In addition, I understand that I will not be able to receive multimedia messages without a data plan. Once again, if I'm in a wi - fi hotspot... Can I receive these messages from photos? No only simple navigation cannot be made and Pandora can be used in mode Wi - Fi.

• WiFi and data plans

  I'm curious to know if you have a data plan for the phone WiFi part to work properly. Sprint has said that you have to have one, but I want to know if it's true. I love the phone but I really don't want to pay for a data plan if I don't have to. In other words, I want to know if you can use an an i680 active sim card and use the WiFi browser. Sprint said that if you try, you will fry the i1. As far as I know, most for Sprint/Nextel sim cards are interchangeable.

  you don't have to get the data Plan, you can browse the internet for free on any Nextel (with the exception of blackberry), but I block internet access because you will receive no contact Direct or regular calls the use of the internet (even if you use it, the mobile phone internet access to get the location) emails, facebook updates, etc.)

  It of the best phone you'll ever have on nextel, but sucks it with nextel internet...

• WiFi or data plan required

  I am looking for an i1, but I want to know if you can use an active Nextel sim card of an i680 has not given plan and continue to use the WiFi feature, or do I have to get a data plan. Sprint/Nextel says I'm going to fry the phone if I try, but I used the card in other phones, like the i530 and i580. I would like to hear from anyone who has the Sprint/Nextel. Boost really helps me a lot. Thank you.

  It is recommended to use the SIM card provided with the new phone, otherwise, you may encounter problems with certain features of phone. Although, you should be able to use your old sim in a new phone. You can take the sims for any sprint store to have your contacts copied in the new SIM for free.

  You don't need to buy a data plan, but I recommend that you add a package of data with a phone of this type that you will be charged per KB on the Nextel network. It costs an additional $10.00 per month and he called the Nextel data block.

• BlackBerry smartphones must have data plan?

  Why is Verizon requires the data but not Cingular plan not?  I would like to than the blackberry for features to have my outlook on my phone calendar.  I realize without wireless sync I have to use a cable on a daily basis to update.  I'm fine with, I don't however need recover emails from work on my phone all day while I'm sitting at my desk.  I know people with Cingular that have blackberrys without data plan and people with Verizon, which projected data automatically added to their bill when they bought the blackberry.  Verizon told me it's a question of RIM Blackberry, not a matter of Verizon. Why Blackberry have different policies with these two carriers?

  PDA/Smartphones and BlackBerry have a full web browser, are able to email and send and receive data. When these resources are used, the costs are incurred. The best way to control those costs is with a PDA nationally or Blackberrry Email Plan featuring unlimited internet and email. Blackberry devices must have a data plan that we have an agreement with their Builder.

  It's what Verizon told me today.  Thanks for your help though!  Now I have to decide whether to suck it up and get the unwanted data plan or move from Cingular...

• BlackBerry Smartphones AT & T data plan

  OK, we need nextel for industry. Passed to a bb and it turn changed on this sprint phone that does not whence our nextel. I don't need another cell plan, but I'm here to get the emails and view attachments, etc.. Someone uses-data plans from AT & T with/without cell phone service.  I guess that to be able to use the gps on the BB, you need internet access not only the navigation.  I'm so confused b/c that all data usage.

  Never mind. I'm not sure of what I was asking

• BlackBerry Smartphones BiS or data Plan

  Is it necessary to have BIS access to emails, will be the only provider Mobile Data Plan would be enough.

  Hello

  See this FAQ for more information:

  • http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F

  Note that it is generic... with hundreds of carriers in the world with dozens of different data plans, it is impossible for anyone other than them to respond to the specificity of your question. But, generally speaking, a data plan that allows the BIS is indeed necessary to send to the function.

  Good luck!

• Why is my iPhone 4S always connect to Internet without wifi or data plan

  To save money I had my phone company (a Canadian one called SaskTel) take my iPhone from data/text/speech just talk about text. As almost a month ago and despite checking with them twice and said them it is common; y tali/text only and that is all I pay supposedly for, I can always connect to the Internet anywhere. Even when my wifi is not at hand or there is no recognized the WiFi or even someone unlocked open wifi, I can always get an Internet connection, and the phone says 3G. I was in the middle of nowhere and it is always to get an Internet connection and downloading podcasts streaming away from radio stations.

  Who gave am I using? Who provides this connection? Someone said it might be Apple and I'll eventually get a bill for him. SaskTel swore twice it wasn't them and I even let him tinker with the phone a bit but it's still talk/text according to them but still get an Internet connection, but not them.

  I would like to ID how he done this before that someone sends me a Bill sky high from nowhere.

  Sorry, apple has nothing to do with cellular data.

  In order to use a cell iphone data are needed, unless you use it as an ipod and then it is not necessary.

  If your problem is with your phone carrier and not Apple.

• How to do an http Basic by wifi connection just without data plan?

  Ok. Here's the situation: I have developed an application that makes a connection http Basic (connector.open (url)). It woks fine on Simulator course since it uses the mds Simulator. I'm targeting os 5 and above. Now I started to test on the actual device (curve 9300). The real problem is how can I go out with just a default connection. I mean a generic that doesn't care what type of transport, the phone has and uses only the default. As you know has 9300 WiFi. So hopefully I should be able to connect using my wifi at home. On the phone, I can establish connection wifi fine. The phone's browser do not allow through well. He complains: (error! wifi detected...) We are not able to authenticate you as you are not currently a Rogers... Please turn off your wifi connection, and launch your browser to try again). Well, if it means that I'm not on Rogers, it is not correct, as my base phone package is with Rogers, the SIM set in the phone. I tried his suggestion and of course, it does not work!

  What encourages me that it should work in principle, but I have two phone applications (Opera mini and google map) who are able to go online and make the connection.

  I tried to use a combination of parameters attached to the url, as follows:

  1. just by default without any parameter

  2 - deviceside = true

  3 - deviceside = true; = wifi interface

  I also experimented with different options on options tcp apn:

  1 disabling APN setting

  2-activation parameter APN with internet.com, with comments from user and password

  setting of AFN 3 activation internet.com with wapuser1 and wap for the user name and password.

  To "manage connections", I have the following question similarly checked:

  -Network mobile Rogers...

  Dlink_RezaNetwork - Wi - Fi...

  -BlueTooth feature is disabled

  I wonder out exactly the Mobile network connection? I guess that's my basic phone plan puts online. I will be happy if that's the case for my app by there rather than the wifi connection if that is indeed what Opera mini and google map. But sorry to disappoint you, because even if I disable the first connection (i.e. Mobile network Rogers...) I am still able to use these two apps without problem! It makes me happy because it difinitely says I should be able to go online using only my wifi without data plan!

  On connection icons at the top of the phone to the right, I see the following

  Rogers - dlink.RezaNetwork 3 G (icon of the resistance)

  WiFi

  As you can see, my phone is connected to the wifi in my house.

  Anyway, after all this detail, anyone know if there is a solution to this problem? I mean google map and Opera Mini are able to go online without problem.

  In full respect, please don't refer me to read this or that doc I did those before you come and ask questions. But even if there is a doc that you think really go to address above concerns more precisely I'll gladly read

  I use eclipse for development and just well on Simulator.

  This is the result I get when I run the app through the eclipse on the device:

  (1) for the case when only a Wifi connection is enabled on the device connector.open (url) is called with no additional parameters, I get the error: net.rim.device.internal.io.criticalioexception: required radio isn't avtive.

  (2) for the case with wifi interface parameter defined as follows:

  String connStr = _theUrl + "; interface = wifi. "
  s = (connStr) Connector.open (StreamConnection);
  HttpConnection httpConn s = (HttpConnection);
  InputStream input = s.openInputStream ();

  There is no error reported, even though I capture all the exceptions of open(). But the stream returned is always empty!

  Thanks again.

  Just an update:

  The problem took over the redirect. It was a subject, I admit, I was quite familiar with. So, once read on responses from http status, the solution was easy. Also is it possible to simply use the wifi connection for http connections in the code. The build in the browser is another story and it depends on how the connection preferences are managed internally by the os and carrier I suppose, but lance in the code browser works very well, with just wifi traffic.

  2. remove the sim card and battary

  3. I went to the office of information TECHNOLOGY, and they said it is blackberry app world not internet problem

  4. go to T-mobile, and he cannot understand what is wrong with my phone.

  No, not with a Data Plan. You can use the WiFi Hotspot browser to check your Gmail on the browser, but you can not just rely on a 'button' and receive on request. It would be 'pull' email and BlackBerry don't do that.
