BlackBerry Smartphones BBM using wifi?

• BlackBerry Smartphones Internet using WiFi possible without Mobile provider?

  I have a Blackberry Bold 9650 with no Mobile provider (he previously had Verizon).  Is it possible to use the Internet on the Bold 9650 by connecting to my WiFi at home, or is it only possible if the phone has Mobile provider service active? I am able to use Internet on my iOS and Android phones using WiFi with no Mobile provider, but I get the impression that it is impossible on the Bold 9650.  I connect to my WiFi at home, but I get no Internet service on the phone.  I also want to upgrade the operating system from 5 to 6, but the BlackBerry Desktop Software says that the upgrade is not available, because I have no Mobile provider?

  I was wrong.  I think OS6 for the 9650.  Without a data plan, it's a bit more involved to date, however.  You must wipe the device completely and then reload the OS from scratch.

  You have to find a company that offers the update by download.  Here are the instructions.

  1. start by searching for your operator and the system operating file that you want to use.

  http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

  2. it's not bad to do a manual of your device first, backup using the Desktop Manager > backup. Close at the end Office Manager and disconnect it from BlackBerry. You can get the BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/

  3. download the OS from step 1 of the file on the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.

  4. go into c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also, check the following locations for the vendor.xml file and delete all instances of the file:

  On Windows Vista/7, go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research in XML Motion\BlackBerry\Loader (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

  On Windows XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application is In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (where 'YOUR_USER' is your user name)

  5 use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a full backup), then after you get the 507 error (no OS installed) then go to the next step.

  6. plug the BlackBerry and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in c:\program files\common research in motion\apploader

• BlackBerry Smartphones BBM w / WiFi works only after changing SIM card not

  Hello

  I need help (otherwise I would not write here). I have the Bold 9930. Until I left the States, my phone was working perfectly fine... I had an email, BBM, whatsapp, text, etc...

  When I arrived in Haiti, I wanted to change my SIM card, then I would be able to use / have a number of Haitian. I don't have an international plan. When the guy put my the Haitian SIM, the phone asked my BlackBerry ID and password. I typed all the two, which were both correct, but he told me that it was a wrong password. The guy told me that the only way I'd be able to 'reset' from my BlackBerry ID would be to disconnect and to do this, it would eliminate all my pictures and everything. I didn't do that so I ended up buying a Haitian phone w / a Haitian SIM card.

  At this point, I have two phones. An American with a SIM American (BlackBerry) and a Haitian phone with a SIM card that is Haitian.

  When I got home, I turned on my American phone and its WiFi, but my BBM and emails were NOT WORKING! However, my Facebook application and the browser are both works perfectly well.

  I restarted my phone several times since yesterday and nothing has changed. I checked this morning to see if it worked, but not luck.

  So my question (s) / issue (s) is now:

  1. How can I get my BBM works again? (probably the most important)

  2. How can I get my email working again?

  3. is it possible possible for me to have my BlackBerry (US phone) work with my Haitian SIM card?

  Please, please, please, help.

  Unfortunately, the device works as expected. Facebook, the wifi browser work fine on wifi but BBM and email REQUIRE a valid BlackBerry data Plan.

  The only way to make it work is to have a BlackBerry data Plan on the Haitian Sim Card.

  • With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.

  I hope that will move things again for you! If this isn't the case, then you should contact your mobile provider for formal support.

• BlackBerry smartphones giving my wife my 9780

  Hello, first post on this forum.

  A hardware upgrade, I now use a Q10.  I give my wife my Bold 9780.  We have just received his SIM card from our supplier.

  I wonder to get his phone to work do we just put new SIM card in the "BOLD" or do we need to reset the phone and erase all my information out there?  I don't know that she doesn't want all my information out there.

  I have all the information from the old phone transferred to my PC and on the new phone.

  Thanks in advance.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BBM Voice Chat with Blackberry devices

  I use the last BBM on my Bold 9900 with o/s fully updated.

  I noticed that since the BBM for Android and Apple launched, I can't voice chat features for my non-Terminal contacts BlackBerry.

  I am connected to wifi. When my blackberry contacts are in wifi areas, I see the Green notification turned on in the upper right of their profiles but all my contacts non-blackberry device are grayed out still.

  I was just wondering if they have this ability yet and if so, why could I get this question?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer.

  Hello DrFever.

  I do not work for Blackberry, but I know that BBM for iOS and Android features are limited compared to the Blackberry Version. They have only cat features, with video and voice, expected sometime next year. I hope this helps!

• 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!

  Hello

  I recently bought a sim free, the brande new bb curve and I use my sim card contract with vodafone which was formerly on a HTC sense, texts and calls work, but bbm and navigation are not, my bbm pending (awaiting authorization) when I add my friends and people do not receive requests, HELP!

  Unlike your old model HTC, BlackBerry smartphones require a BlackBerry data Plan or Plan BIS. You will need to call your operator and ask for the service to be added before BBM could be used.

• 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?
