BlackBerry Smartphones Verizon without data?

I have a Curve 8310 and a Bold 9650.  I use very little ot my package data and would like to block data through Verizon and just pay for phone service.  I like both phones, but can't justify the additional cost.  I blocked data on phones of my children (two PARENTS and a phone data LG loan).  Verizon told me that they "can't" block data for these phones.  Is this true?  Why?  These phones are unusable without data?  I can't get updates to the computer?  Please enlighten me.  Thank you

Hello and welcome to the community!

BBs without data plans are, IMHO, near useless, and not useful to have. There are just too many services that they depend on a data plan that is appropriate for the feature. But, having said that, there is nothing on the BB himself who said: he cannot work as just a phone without a data plan. However, each company has its own policies and procedures... it is quite possible that VZW will not allow a BB on their network without a correct data... plan and being their network, they have every right to have such a policy.

Good luck!

  • 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.

  • 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...

I could use the software and download the info from my current BB to the new (new to me) from BB? If so is there something special I need to do?

    Boomer56, the "BOLD" they sent me a OS v6.0.  going to be a little getting used to.  Used the software and everything seems to have been uploaded to the "BOLD" new!

    Just need to reinstall BB Protect.

    Appreciate the support!

  • Access blackBerry Smartphones to backup data without using a phone smart blackberry. How does this work?

    I had a Blackberry 9700 and I made a back-up via Blackberry Protect App. My Blackberry is stolen and I want to transfer all data (approx. 600 phone numbers) from the back-up to my PC or to my Samsung Galaxy SII that I can borrow temporarily from a friend. Bottom-line: I need access to my back-up data without using a Blackberry device. How does this work?
    

    Hey Sourbag,

    Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

    You will need a BlackBerry to access these backup information. There is no way around it in BlackBerry Desktop Software.

  • Applications for blackBerry Smartphones loses the data connection

    Found nothing on the net to solve my problem - hope that is not new on this forum!  I have always good connection wi - fi and 3g via the web browser.  However, at the same time, a number of apps for example App World, Sky News, Accuweather etc - that is, I guess that virtually any application requiring access network - don't report "data connection".  Hard reset usually restores this functionality (at home, at work, wherever) until I'm TSF phone in another mobile cell (i.e. the geographical area) - a summer only relatively short distance of my office in the city...  Then it's the same question 'no connection '.  So it seems to be a constant association at the end of the cell - as-TI-a - 'regisered.  I checked all the recommended checks and run several resolutions without result.  I have updated to the most recent Blackberry everything.  Before that I discharge my Blackberry in the last sale of thought start I'd have one last go.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the prompt clarity.  Never received this notice of Virgin at the time of purchase - it was presented as an optional extra.  At least you have solved the mystery.  Much obliged.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Verizon Will still work if I unlock my BB Storm 2 Verizon / 9550

    Hello

    I hope I'm not duplicating an existing thread... but could not find the question / answer until now.

    I have really two questions (which are linked)

    1. I have a BB Storm 2 on Verizon and purchased an unlock code. However, before unlocking, I wanted to make sure that I can use my phone / email / data from my existing Verizon account. The reason why I'm unlock the phone in the first place, is that I want to give my mother in Germany in about a month, which will be used with a different local provider.

    2. once I give the phone to my mother in Germany, she would be able to use it just via WiFi or she will have a provider and the data plan to send e-mails? She didn't really need it as a phone, just to send by e-mail. I don't know, however, whether she would be able to put up with an e-mail account if it doesn't have a regular wireless provider.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Don't worry, you will still be able to use your phone on Verizon when unlock you. Be sure to enter the code carefully and that you get only 10 tests and then it will be permanently locked to Verizon.

    Once you give the phone your mother in Germany, she will be able to use the browser and a few apps through wifi, but if she wants to use the features of e-mail or something like BBM, it will need a BlackBerry data plan (a regular data plan is not enough). So now, if she is simply using a service like Gmail or Hotmail e-mail, she can just connect via the browser on wifi and manually check his emails. But it's the only option for wifi use.

    I hope this info helps!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones transfer of data from your old phone

    I bought the new Bold 9900 and want to transfer the contact list of old Curve 8900 to new phone via Bluetooth. The 8900 transferred all the data, confirming the number of entries that it transferred, but the 9900 has received the first entry in my contacts list. How can I get all contacts in the 9900? Or, what I am doing wrong?

    The best way to transfer data from one BlackBerry to another is to use BlackBerry Desktop Software.  I used it several times without problem.

    Let us know if you need some help with that.
