BlackBerry smartphone is Wifi free or not?

I just got a 9800 and been using Wifi most of the time to save on my limited data plan. I disable my network when I surf and download podcast using the integrated in the browser.

My question is am I incurring costs using wifi to browse and download?

Given that I'm always had access BIS wifi, I heard you still get your provider or the moving company costs.

No, data use WiFi does not count towards your limited service plan and if you find your carrier billing your for the use of the WiFi data, you must call into question.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones on WiFi browser does not...

    Hello..

    I ran some tests to see check the speed of my browser on my home network on ATT.  When I turn off the Mobile network and turn the wifi to my home network, I get an error in my browser "you are not currently in an area that can handle the communication of data.

    I've successfully connected to my home network, as evidenced by the situation on the top of the home screen.  Is there one other setting I need to select to "force" the use of my network domestic?  I used to have this in my "BOLD" settings under options in the browser, but from what I've read the connection switch is supposed to happen automatically on the browser of the torch.

    Any help would be great!

    THX.

    I was running into the same problem and found that when we talk of a technician of the AT & T if you go to your icon 'Manage the connection', click on 'Set Up Wi - Fi network', highlight and click on 'Saved Wi - Fi networks', this will open your existing networks that are available and you have the possibility to move your networks available in any order you want.  Now with the network connection, it will search in the order of your networks available in the list and I personally found that my house and AT & T Wi - Fi was low on the list of available networks and once I moved to the top two solved this problem on don't slow no connection for me.

    Now my problem that I find the "internet / browser" is that I have to zoom in several times on each page to display.  I tried to load several different browsers and to my dismay, no charge, any suggestions on this issue.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB app world does not appear on new Torch 9850.

    Blackberry app world is not installed on my new torch. I tried to go to the website of bb to download, but I can't find anything on how to download app world. I already tried a reload of the operating system. Help, please.

    If you have a hardware problem, then nothing what to do with the software or operating system will not help. But, at a distance of the internet, there is no way to really diagnose a hardware problem... rather, only to guide you to things to try which will govern the other causes, leaving only hardware like your the most likely cause. See how news of the device is for you, you can not cope and return instead of your place of purchase for formal support and (hopefully) replacement.

    But, if you want to try, then I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you want to try at the OS level, then the easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    (1) make sure that you have a current backup and your BB complete... you can find the instructions at the link in my auto-sig below.

    2) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (3) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (4) download and install on your computer, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If all you want are the levels of BONE, it is first sorted by carrier - the carrier supports, your search will be fast. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To really get the package up-to-date OS for your BB, you need to dig through and find all businesses that support your specific model BB and then compare the BONE levels they support.

    5) remove all copies of the SELLER on your PC. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    6 (a) to change your level of BB OS installed (at level or lower), you can run the Desktop software and connect your BB... the software should offer the operating system package you have installed on your PC.

    6 (b) or, for recharging your BB OS level installed as well to change, work around the Desktop software and use the CHARGER. EXE directly, through step 2 in this process:

    If, during the process of 6a or 6 b, your BB has an error '507', simply unplug the USB of the BB cord and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    You can also study the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe what he is capable.

    You can also try the "skeleton OS Reload procedure" in an attempt to circumscribe the precise causal element:

    1. Load your OS "bare bones"... If everything is optional, do not install it.
    2. If the behavior is immediately, then try another OS with step 1
    3. If the behavior does not immediately, then run for as long as necessary to make you to be sure that the behavior will not occur.
    4. Add one more thing - no matter how tempting, one.
    5. If the behavior does not immediately present, and then runs for long enough to be sure he won't have the same problem
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are responsible or the behavior presents

    When the behavior shows up, you know the culprit... the last thing you have loaded.

    If the behavior doesn't re-present, then you know that step 1 or 2 cured it.

    If the behavior has anything, then you have probably a problem of material level for which no amount of OS or software can heal.

    You may also use these tips:

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Hotmail w/BIS is not sync when using Windows Live Messenger

    Hello

    I've got BES both BIS working in my BlackBerry. BES has the email that I use at work. BIS has configured my Hotmail account. Both work fine, but when I tried to use Windows Live Messenger in my BlackBerry I realized that the emails of Hotmail stopped coming.

    So far, that's what I got:

    If I connect to Windows Live Messenger from my BlackBerry, from a Windows computer, or within Hotmail (inside the web browser) I no longer receive mail. Everything I do from my BlackBerry still affects my Hotmail account (mark an e-mail as read, delete or sending an e-mail using my Hotmail account).

    When I sign out of Windows Live Messenger and you receive another email, all delays and the new email come to my BlackBerry and guard mail very well until I connect to Windows Live Messenger again. I do not receive the emails delayed until I get a new once the connection from Windows Live Messenger.

    Already tried battery pull, remove and re-add the account of Hotmail in BIS and uninstall and reinstallation of Windows Live Messenger.

    Please, I know already all the love that some people have on other services of e-mail webmail (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), which helps not at all.

    I searched the web and I have nothing, I hope someone can help me.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Help with calendar with Outlook sync blackBerry Smartphones to all appointments will not sync...

    I'm not a great tech, but I have some skills good enough for a girl, if I say so myself... but I'm so frustrated... I need help.

    This is my first public post... So I hope that I give all the information but who will help, if I missed something, please let me know.

    Here is some background info:

    I have a BB "BOLD"

    I use it NOT on a company (network)

    I sync my bb with my dell

    Windows Vista (UGH!)

    Outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001

    My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason, I have a bb

    My contacts are FINE

    My schedule is a MESS

    I have 2 separate email addresses work well my bb... For the purposes of his post, I will refer to them as

    [email protected] and

    [email protected]

    When I do appointments in my work calendar, I do one of 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB

    Plan my gmail as a participant in the designation address or

    Prior to the appointment to my gmail from my work email address

    When I make an appointment directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu > new = my default settings of the account gmail under the 'send '.

    BB News:

    When I'm in the calendar and select > Menu.Options > calendars > I have 3 options

    [email protected] who has (518 entries)

    Default device that has (157 results)

    [email protected] who has (429 entries)

    When I go to the Menu > Options > Advanced Options > Services > (CICAL) by default is [email protected] , it shows that I have options to select my Gmail or my .mac address

    That is the problem - it did not used to happen, and I frankly did not know that my backup was messed up so I don't know how long this is happening.

     

    When I sync with Outlook

    There are only 518 appointments that are synchronized

    I can't get the other 157 (defect of the unit) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook

    Can someone help me to get them all on my gmail calendar? or in my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB

    I will not sync my bb with my mac

    Here's what I tired:

    • Yelling at the computer
    • Yelling in Spanish at the BlackBerry
    • ignoring the two
    • I stopped myself to throw both of them against the wall.

    But seriously

    I put the BB Desktop Manager to perform a one-way synchronization > bb to outlook = NOTHING only synchronize gmail

    I changed the (CICAL) to my mac address and synchronized = NOTHING - only synchronization gmail

    I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

    Hello

    We will remember and then on MAC records.

    Outlook contains records of 158 of the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The calendar by default folders must be cleared and restored to the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The Blackberry associated gmail calendar resulting will be then synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records

    resulting calendars synced to Outlook and Blackberry.

    Reading this, I propose more than once. Method 3 is what we do.

    Let me know, tomorrow, what questions you have the procedure so that we can ensure we succeed.

    KB16063 Unexpected results occur when syncing with a BlackBerry smartphone that has several CICAL service records.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • BlackBerry smartphones I can send, but not receive files via bluetooth

    I had to wipe my curve over the weekend, and before that I did, I transferred files (pictures and ringtones) on my desk.  Now, I can't get back them on the curve!  What I am doing wrong?  Obviously, I have a ton more photos and mp3 files on my computer that did not need to be transferred, but when I click "receive using bluetooth", I don't know how to refer the file to the desktop I want transferred back.  Help!

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    See this KB:

    Replace the instructions appropriate for your other device instead of the transmitter unit KB section in the KB. It is on this other device (PC, I guess) you must start sending once you asked the BB to receive.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones have wifi but no IP address (Status: IP address is no longer valid)

    Dear experts,

    I can connect my Pearl 9100 to my home Wi - Fi network, but I can't connect to the internet.  For example, when I run the browser, I get the message «Unable to connet to the Internet...» ».

    I can see on my router that Pearl has been assigned an IP address DHCP vi (just as one would expect).

    Of "manage connections / Options Wi - Fi profiles registered Wi - Fi to select my profile / tools WiFi / Wi - Fi Diagnostics ' I see that" Local IP address: "is empty and that"status: IP address is no longer valid"

    I assume something is wrong on the bead, because it does not accept the TCP/IP configuration served to him by my server DHCP (my wireless router).

    Someone at - it recommendations for helping me solve this problem?

    Here are a few other details to consider:

    All other wireless devices work on my home Wi - Fi network, including a Blackberry Bold 9780 running OS 6.

    My Pearl 9100 has OS v.5.0.0.748.  This is an operating system updated Blackberry specific to my carrier (Bell), of the 5.0.0.604 OS, which came on the device.

    I don't have a data plan on my Blackberry (you may think it strange, but well, it's the way I want it).  The Bold 9780 which has connected to my home Wi - Fi network has either a data plan.  The absence of a data plan should not be a problem because all I need an Internet connection for is the occasional use of the browser when a Wi - Fi connection is available for free.

    Thank you in advance for any advice, tips or pointers.

    Hey - I found the solution:

    Options / Mobile Network / Data Services - change from 'OFF' to 'ON '.

    I guess I was mistaken in thinking that "Data Services" should only be enabled if you have a data plan.

  • Access to corporate blackBerry Smartphones via wifi if e-mail isn't on a support

    I have a torch 9810 via AT & T. If I turn the cell off the signal and just use wifi, I get all my emails professional very well. Don't need a cellular signal.

    What happens if I cancel AT & T altogether and do not replace it with any carrier. Then I connect my blackberry via wifi to internet. Will I always have the corporate e-mail?

    Part of me said 'Yes', because there is no reason not to. I can turn on the Bberry, connect it via wifi and get email. AT & T is superfluous.

    Part of me said: 'No,' because I don't know, maybe that when I cancel AT & T, Blackberry (the company) "disqualify" me their server (or something) and therefore the phone is a brick.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    BBs legacy (pre-BB10), all BB exclusive services, including e-mail, depended on an active account to BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS). The device itself does not have an email client full... depends on BIS in order to provide messaging functionality. And BIS infrastructure is hosted at carriers and BlackBerry - and is used for your email at any time, regardless of the channel (carrier or WiFi data network) that you have active on your BB.

    So the long and short of it is that if you cancel your BIS account (due to the cancellation of AT & T), your email will stop working (because your BB will no longer be able to communicate with BIS), even if you only use WiFi.

    The BB10 BIS is removed, replaced by a full e-mail on the device... so client, BB10 device can work perfectly for send only via WiFi, because there is no need to talk to BIS. But legacy devices must speak BIS.

    Good luck!

    Edit... I just noticed the use of the word "business". If by that, you mean BES, then the same situation applies always... it is just a story of BES-level (from your carrier) instead of a BIS account which is required for features.

    See you soon!
