Queries Smartphones Rogers Blackberry Bold blackBerry - wireless and data Plan-

I talked to people at Rogers and have seen various posts, and I am VERY confused.

Currently, I have a new Blackberry "BOLD" (since 12/14/08) with

a data plan.

Issues related to the:

(1) if I'm on Wifi (checked under managed connections - service status) and I'm surfing Internet, do I get charged for usage under the Rogers data plan?

(2) if I'm on Wifi (checked as stated above) and I use the BB services

like Blackberry Messenger, which are charged according to the Rogers data plan?

My assumption has been that Wifi for browsing the Internet (using the Hotspot browser) should NOT pay i.e. does not pass by Rogers but services Blackberry (BB Messenger, my Gmail and Hotmail account) would be charged under the Rogers plan data through the network 3 G or Wifi.

Can you get it someone please let me know if the above is correct, because I'm quite confused.

Thanks in advance... Elliot

(1) if I use the Internet Hotspot browser using Wifi to surf the Internet, I should NOT charged under the plan of Rogers data... is this correct?

Yes is correct.

(2) there are I understand that Internet Hotspot browser does NOT work when Wifi is NOT working... is this correct?

Yes is correct.

My other post was on the features of the Blackberry like Blackberry Messenger, mobile.blackberry.com, do not work with Hotspot Wifi browser.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone Wifi and data plan

    I can't use my wifi when my data plan is turned off so that means if I was abroad and he wanted to use my wifi I have to turn on the data plan and I then will charge even if the wifi is free?

    I talked to my SP and they said that I get charged if I used my data abroad plan.

    If anyone can confirm here that you can not use wifi if no data plan?

    I'm following you better now, thank you.

    You do not use the data service IF even the SIM card is removed.

    For example, I have a Bold 9000 sitting here with me with no SIM in there either. If I turn off data services, WiFi browser does not work. If turn ON data services, WiFi, browser will work. This "BOLD" PIN is saved with ANY carrier. No data of the carrier service is used.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones download App World Apps without a data plan

    Hello

    I have a Curve 8320 thru ATT, and I was wondering if there is a way to download apps from the App World without having a data plan fee? It seems a shame that there are some useful applications that do not require the internet or a web browser to work and I would be able to download them. I know that the FAQ in the support section said her need but I was hoping that there was another way. I appreciate anyones help with this. Thank you.

    Well, there is a solution available probably in many cases. For example, AppWorld is nothing more than a large Center commercial... is not the manufacturer of the finished product. So, we could guess that search the apps you want and go directly to the application developer, bypassing AppWorld and carrier entirely. This might work... but I guess I should not formally recommend such an approach... so don't say no matter who!

  • WiFi and data plans

    I'm curious to know if you have a data plan for the phone WiFi part to work properly. Sprint has said that you have to have one, but I want to know if it's true. I love the phone but I really don't want to pay for a data plan if I don't have to. In other words, I want to know if you can use an an i680 active sim card and use the WiFi browser. Sprint said that if you try, you will fry the i1. As far as I know, most for Sprint/Nextel sim cards are interchangeable.

    you don't have to get the data Plan, you can browse the internet for free on any Nextel (with the exception of blackberry), but I block internet access because you will receive no contact Direct or regular calls the use of the internet (even if you use it, the mobile phone internet access to get the location) emails, facebook updates, etc.)

    It of the best phone you'll ever have on nextel, but sucks it with nextel internet...

  • Configuration of e-mail of Smartphones from blackBerry - username and password

    I got my BB for 3 weeks and I like... I'm a bit paranoid about excessive bills. (Will have to make sure that I understand what functions are covered by the contract and I pay through the nose for.) At least on my point of view.

    I created my gmail email using the email configuration feature. Was actually very easy. However, I don't remember my user name or password to get back in. (all I wanted to do was to add a signature rather than the default "email sent using Blackberry on orange" at the end of emails).

    Is anyway to reset it? If I could at least remember my user name I could recover my password - but I tried every username I can think and not joy. Anyone would be able to suggest something? If this isn't the case, Blackberry would be able to help me? It is not an earth shattering the problem I can get and send emails at the moment. However, I hate not having full access because of my own stupidity to not write the PW and UN and store them safely.

    Any help or advice welcome

  • Security of Smartphones Gmail blackBerry BIS and gmail app

    Hi all

    I have a few questions on the application of gmail (probably not in the right place) and using gmail on BIS (native client for bb so).

    First of all I would like to know if the data I send bis thru using the configuration of the phone messaging is encrypted to the server, as far as I understand the route is blackberry ==> provider ==> BIS ==> google ==> BIS ==> provider ==> blackberry servers, now are my password and mails encrypted during all this? I mean is all encrypted even after she passed through bis?

    Secondly, if anyone knows I would like to know how gmail don't (m.google.com/mail) about encryption enforcement, I see in its parameters always "use secure connection" which should mean its all encrypted according to political right google?

    Finally, if I used the gmail (google) app would always need a BIS subscription or just an internet connection would be nice?

    I want to know is that mail Blackberry can be a little more uncomfortable for me because of the connection is slow, but I still want to be sure, only I noticed, is that newspapers BIS on my account gmail (pretty normal tho).

    I see this has been discussed in the past, but he has never been a definitive answer, and I think (not tried however) this package sniffing brings me one either.

    Thanks in advance

    PS: I hope that you will forgive the noobness, relatively new to BlackBerry, and since my carrier offers mobile internet and BIS in separated packages, I am a little lost.

  • Smartphones navigation & blackBerry wireless e-mail - no BES

    I looked for answers but failed miserably!

    IM with Orange UK and the wish to reduce my consumption of bandwidth due to cost.

    Can someone plese explain how I follow these steps, please:

    -When I find a wifi free spot, how can I make sure wifi is used to connect instead of my data connection?

    -How can I turn off Infocourriel (not the good sentence I know) unless I'm connected wifi?

    -Where can I find a comprehensive manual for this piece of equipment FAB?

    -Is the update of software referred to in the checklist available to UK users yet?

    Thank you

    1. If you are connected via WiFi, your BlackBerry data still prefer the WiFi connection rather than the mobile signal. You can make sure that, if you wish by going to your screen connection management and deactivation of the connection to your mobile service provider.

    2. no easily. You can go to your BIS account login and click on the box "do not forward messages to device" and turn it back on later. Personally, your emails pushed to your device requires no major data unless you open and read the email. RIM grows only the 2 first KB chuck of data to an email and only up to open and start to read e-mail is the next 2 k pushed to your device.

  • Media of Smartphones from blackBerry moved and changed files?

    Hello

    I am fairly new to my Bold 9790. I noticed that applications in the media of the section had disappeared. I then found several applications in the section ALL having an exclamation mark. When I open these, each was a media application and functional abnormality. All these applications were also available and identical in the multimedia application within ALL.

  • Smartphones Geotags blackBerry, GPS and photos

    I found that some of my pictures from the camera are geotagged and this caused problems with sending photos. Unable to send a photo geotagged with BBM, email or normal picture messaging. Curiously, Whatsapp works OK. I uninstalled Google Maps (still have BB Maps) and turned off GPS location services. I can't find a way to turn off geotagging of photos without turning off the GPS. If GPS services is active, it can interfere with the camera because he won't take the shot until the GPS has had a difficult situation. Seems to be OK without GPS for now. What do you think?

    I'm running a Bold 9780 with OS 6.0.0.294 with the latest app world and BBM.

    Hi BryanR

    On the 9780 I, how to disable the geolocation is in camera mode.

    At the bottom of the screen, you'll (left to right) the following:

    Your photos

    Geotagging

    Take photo

    Flash game

    Plug type of

    (Roughly)

    On the second icon for geotagging to turn it off, the image should be a goal only.   If getoagging is enabled, then it will look like a red balloon.  Simply press this icon until you get the target. (not the target with the waves as it is turn on geotagging).

    You shouldn't have a problem with the geolocation in the future.

    Although according to the configuration of your phone, and the permissions you gave to Google Maps, which can also be using geolocation by default so check your permissions on this.

    I can't understand why you can't email geotagged files even if, as I have no problem with my BB.

    I hope this helps.

  • Application for Smartphones Wifi blackBerry using BB 9000

    I guess the BB uses the dns servers of Rim or a proxy server to route requests to the www through when using WAP and data plans.
    This is the case when you use the wifi carriers charges would not apply and neither would release of the data carriers.

    The reason I ask is that when you use wifi with our router, all applications for MTS via port 80 get routed through a dns/proxy filter that restrics some sites.
    These sites are always available and accessible.

    This, I guess that two www requests are made for a rim proxy server NOT on port 80 and/or dns are requested through the rim when the wifi and there is no need of.

    Anyone has any ideas or can shed light on this. ??

    Heard, so it seems that you use BIS which does not explain why the HTTP request comes from a different server. BIS has a public browser MDS (the Web browser) that optimizes traffic for BlackBerry when traffic happens on the network of the carrier and if you are connected to WiFi it does not matter the traffic via an Internet browser / BIS goes out through public servers.

    If you want to force someone to be able to use the browser WiFi using your network connection and router and respect your filters, you can remove with IPPP for BIBS service in her book. This is only temporary and will come when a BB re-entered on the network.

    As an alternative to the use of BIS if you want to force traffic to go, well, your own internal network, you can watch the offer BlackBerry unit. The only downfall is that unit requires a computer connected to the net to make it work. Apart from that, it is a BES mini that will ensure traffic flows on through your home network first and not by the BIS browsing public that you cannot filter.

    I hope this helps...

  • "Required" on Verizon Blackberry blackBerry Smartphone data plan, no required on AT & T?

    I don't mind paying the $29.99 for "data unlimited" on my Storm. But why AT & T gives customers the opportunity to transform power data? Something about RIM "demands" on their BlackBerry Verizon load data. Or am I wrong on these two areas?

    I was wrong about customers of AT & T having the ability to have data on their Blackberry phones. If someone buys a Blackberry to AT & T, they have to get a map of data, like Verizon. The difference between carriers is if you put your AT & T SIM card in a Blackberry that you got a friend online or somewhere other than directly from AT & T, your SIM card will work for voice services. If you don't have a Blackberry data plan, it will not work for data. Verizon is CDMA and Verizon devices must be triggered by Verizon, you can not simply exchange to another phone without the knowledge or help of Verizon. Anyone using a SIM card AT & T with a Blackberry without a data plan, just to put their SIM in the phone. RIM requires a data plan for all Blackberry phones sold by all carriers.
