BlackBerry Smartphones BBM on curve 9320 - bad behavior

Son of 9320, on a Virgin Mobile (Canada) plan will not let him use BBM on wifi. The app insists on finding a "data connection". We do not have a data plan. I use BBM on my Android phone using wifi. I find it strange that a native app on Blackberry does not work correctly.

Can someone enlighten me please. There must be a solution.

Thanks - sent from my orphans but still cool PlayBook

Hello

In fact, what you describe is WAD - working as designed. Only via the newer devices (BB10, no BB Android and iOS) BBM and other exclusive services BB can be used without a proper data of the mobile operator plan. BBs inherited, such as your son, need a plan of data by the carrier, even if the use is strictly via WiFi. It's just the way things are legacy devices (the full explanation is much longer... If you want, just ask).

I hope that your operator has a plan very inexpensive which will just BBM and perhaps other social networking services... but only they can answer as to what services they offer through their data of different plans.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphone messaging issue curve 9320

    Hi all!

    the e-mail on my 9320 function does not work correctly. I have correctly configured my gmail on mydevice account and I get emails and receive notifications when they arrive, HOWEVER...

    When I opened the email all I see is heading for the topic and who it is from, there is no message body. Looking back through my old emails, the only ones I have read completely are those that I received BlackBerry when I first set up my email confirming the installation. If I select answer or forward, it opens the E-mail project but then the email app is closed completely and I'm suddenly brought to my home screen.

    What I've tried so far:

    -Turning device and turn it on again

    -removal and setting up my email account once again

    -wear the device to where I bought it. they offered to download blackberrydesktop on my PC Manager and backup then restore my phone. I did it without a change in behavior from my blackberry

    Any help or advice is much appreciated

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM 8 for BlackBerry Curve 8520

    Hello

    Please let me know if BBM 8 is available for the Curve 8520.
    If Yes, then please provide a link to download.

    Thanks for your time and your support.

    Visit BlackBerry World from your phone and search for BBM. When the application opens, look down to see what version it is. I think BBM 8 is available for your phone, but do a search in the BlackBerry World, which will confirm. If the specified version is lower than 8 BBM, then it is not available for your phone. Only applications that are compatible with your phone will be displayed when you perform a search from your phone.

    See you soon.

    PS typing www.blackberry.com/bbm in the browser of your phone will be entitled to download in BlackBerry World page.

    1. On the BlackBerry itself, you see the white sticker under the battery, what model number indicates?
    2. On the device, go to Options > subject and on the top line, he says this model number?

  • Button of browser blackBerry Smartphones No. on curve 9300?

    Hi all, my original BB curve 9300 was stolen - son he has liked it so much I bought another one from an Internet auction site. All was well until my son has noticed there was no browser button. I rang vodafone who said that everything was fine with his contract. They helped me through the access remote and backed up, then tried to restore and update all nothing done. The only thing they think is that it is a business phone where a company buys a quantity of phones to give to employees, but they do not surf the net, so it is disabled. My question is, is that correct? Can do something to restore the navigation, or is it something else?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BBM disappeared after the 7.0.1 update

    I've updated BBM from version 7 to 7.0.1. After the reboot, I found that my BBM was gone. I checked my world in Blackberry World, to see that it is installed, but it was gone. So I had all my BBM Messages messages. Make a restore from a previous backup has not resolved the problem, 7.0.1 remained. I had to reinstall version 6 to BBM. Version 6 installation means that I've lost the BB voice that came with v7. Nobody knows where and how can I get the previous version 7.0.1. IE version 7?

    I recently bought a smart phone BlackBerry - curve 9360. I have in what concerns the protection of data on my camera and the account connected to it. First of all, I wanted to if a blackberry smartphone is hackable and how it is to viruses and threats.
    Second, I want to know the security of the BlackBerry Messenger. I am a very sociable guy and regularly share pins with a lot of people I properly don't know sometimes even online with strangers as its seems much safer to share the pins that the telephone numbers. So my concern was that if no damage could come to my device or stored data top of this sharing of pine, in the form of my device be hacked using my BBPin or my data being exposed to someone or something.

    BlackBerry is not hackable.

    BlackBerry are not viruses.
