• BlackBerry Smartphones new customer! A few Questions

  Well just buy the Blackberry "BOLD" to Ebay! It's unlocked because I'll leave the USA for about 4 years studying and my contract with AT & T has just finished two days ago and no point of renewal.
  This is my first blackberry and I can't use 100% as you can be in a position to do so, I have just a few doubts and I will accept it gladly someone of you to help me.
  First of all, I don't have a Sim Card yet, because of reasons I unmask above.
  Issues related to the:
  (1) how to set my normal Hotmail + Gmail email on the phone? The only option is available for me is BB Enterprise Server. Is it possible to have my email using Wifi? OR I have to have a data plan?
  (2) with the issue, I have download some applications of chat for my "BOLD" as for example, msn and aim. But when I try to log in this message appears: no available data Service? How can I look forward to using the wi - fi connection (if possible)?

  Basically, these are my questions, I was not a tech guy but I really like the "BOLD" and decide to buy and im very happy with it, just have these issues and I would really appreciate if someone will give me an answer. Please don't berate me.

  Thank you

  And of course, you will need a SIM card in the device to allow any data plan, in which you will have the icon for "personal messaging configuration.

• BlackBerry Smartphones new user of BB - 2 Questions

  Question 1- I can't access my voicemail by pressing '1 '. When I press and hold "1", it asks if I want to assign a speed dial. The only way I found to access my voicemail is highlighted in any number, ranging from in the call log in the Menu and then I can call voicemail from there. I bought this phone from someone and they already had a set number of Speed Dial to '1' which I was able to remove. How can I add my voicemail on speed dial? Is there another way to access the mailbox other than what I mentioned above?

  Question - 2 My sister called me work and I want to add this number to the contact. I got a Razr before this phone and I was able to just click on that number and select the option 'add a contact '. I don't see where this phone will allow me to do, another that enter it manually in the address book and edit its contact page to add his work number. Is this fair?

  Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  Thank you very much for the help!

  The instructions in the link to fix the box voice speedial was a little too, lol. So I didn't remove the battery, put it in and my voicemail is automatically assigned to the speedial #1.

  In regard to the second question concerning the addition of a number of the call for an existing contact log, I guess that's impossible. I looked through the manual and it did not find anywhere. Well.

  Thanks again for the help!

• BlackBerry Smartphones new OS release Date? -Bell Canada

  Just curious to know if anyone knows where Bell Canada will publish an update of the OS?

  I expect to Telus and Bell day shortly after that Verizon releases the update (Telus and Bell generally do these things a bit behind everyone it seems), so if Verizon gets in a week or two, Telus and Bell is probably get a few weeks later (I hope).

  If you try one of the leak (and therefore unsupported operating systems), you should be aware that Telus and Bell will not support the device.  Or if you try upgrading to the version from Verizon on your Bell phone, same thing.  If you have a problem, go back to the operating system from Bell (currently 4.7.0.76) to see if that solves the problem, if so, great, if not, you can then switch to using your provider.

• Using Palm Pre Plus on Verizon without data plan?

  Hello people,

  I'm trying to find out if it is possible to use a Palm Pre Plus on Verizon without data plan.

  Right now I have six years old phone clamshell and an iPod touch in my pocket, and I'm looking to consolidate. In addition, locked position of Apple don't gives me the warm shudder blur. WebOS from Palm running on the emulator gives me the warm fuzzies.

  Research on the issue with Google, I saw other people ask the question at the time was the Sprint Pre only. Apparently the Sprint did not yet allow activation of the phone without a data plan. In addition, the question of whether the palm profile account can be installed over wifi there.

  I also met photos showing that WebOS 1.2 would have a toggle to disable the use of the map data.

  So people, you guys what do you think? Is it possible that this is possible? Thank you!

  I suggest you look at www.precentral.net work is around like this. It is outside my area of support, but I'm sure you can find what you need there message board.

• 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.

• BlackBerry Smartphones BB Messenger without Dataplan

• 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? This would prevent the costs of data on my Bill? Rogers could see your phone and charge you for a plan anyway. AT & T to do this, if you add in a smart phone with out telling them.

  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.

• BlackBerry Smartphones new user Question - how do I synchronize Messages sent from the Bold 9700

  I'm under BlackBerry Desktop Manager 5.0.1.37 and turned off the option "Reconcile E-mails" and "Email" is not mentioned in "Set up Sync". I have an out business BlackBerry data plan with my carrier. My computer is running XP PRO sp3 and Office 2007 is installed my question is how can I synchronize messages sent from my Bold 9700 in Outlook 2007? Thank you in advance.

  An alternative (for me) would be to * always and automatically * send a bcc to a specifc all my sent messages.

  I can't find this option in the documentation.

  Are there?

  Yes, in your BIS account for this email address configuration. Change the configuration and at the bottom, you will see a checkbox automatically BCC messages.

  Then, on your Outlook, you can set a filter for incoming messages of yourself to be re-directed to your sent folder.

• BlackBerry smartphones none given don't Plan - connected to wifi but not Internet access?

  Hi all!

  I am a new Blackberry owner.  I have a Blackberry Bold 9700, and I use AT & T.  I don't have a data plan, so I chose this phone so I can use the internet in Wi - Fi areas.  I am currently in a WiFi area, and my phone says I'm connected.  However, when I try to open the web browser, it says "cannot connect to the Internet, please try again later."  Is it a common problem with a quick fix?  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

  Thank you!

  I did it because I thought that if data services have been activated, then I would be charged for them.  The phone knows use wi - fi when I'm connected to a wi - fi network and I do not load unless I have access to the web in 3G?

  With OS6, you cannot set the browser to be just a HotSpot browser. You can do within OS5.

  Well, IF you are connected to a WiFi hotspot, your device will use the browser and that's it, not much else. Some applications like Opera Mini and Pandora radio will work on a single WiFi.

• BlackBerry smartphone accessing password Keeper data using office software

  I recently had a pressure of crack in the LCD screen on my Curve 8310.

  I need to access my passwords stored in password keeper, however given that the LCD is toast, impossible to read anything on the phone.

  I'm waiting on a replacement LCD screen, but need to pass, as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Are there programs to display the program on the pc?

  I tried a solution that actuall work, so I thought I'd post in case anyone else has this same problem.

  I had previously saved data for my Blackberry Curve 8310 using the office management software.

  I downloaded a Simulatr for my Curve 8310 and installed the software.  I found the Simulator to the BlackBerry Smartphone simulators - URL

  http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/developers/resources/simulators.jsp

  Once the program was installed, I ran the program, which shows a picture of the phone.

  I started my office management software.

  Now to back in the Smartphone Simulator

  In the menu, I selected 'USB cable connected' which simulates the connection of the smartphone.

  Once I did this, the office management software prompted me to create settings then phone again.

  Once I implemented this new virtual phone, I restored my backup from the virtual desktop management software to the new.

  I could then use the mouse to go to the password manager and open the program.  It prompted me for my password and all data appeared.

  Hope this helps someone else.  Good luck.

  I was looking on the part management of connections the phone and when you turn off WiFi, internet service blackberry and blackberry enterprise server each say no link. I don't know if it's relevant or not, because as I said before browsers all work fine.

  It's quite relevant. When cut you the WiFi, BIS (and BES, if you have one) should get to use your carrier data network. Something is certainly not there... then contact them and insist on climbing.

  Good luck!
