• 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?

  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.

• It's silly. Only tell me that since I don't have a data plan I can't receive texts to other iphones until I am connected to a wi - fi network?

  Got a new iPhone, but I don't have a data plan.  Another text of iPhone users I who sends as a default imessage. Since I don't have a data plan which means that I can not receive the text message until I connect to a wi - fi network, because the message being sent is an imessage and not an SMS! It's ridiculous, Apple. How to do this without having to buy a data plan?

  

  Either disable iMessage or get a data plan. No media support allows the use of an iPhone without a data plan.

  It is a smart phone. It is designed to be constantly connected to the Internet. If this isn't what you want, then get an iPod Touch and a silent phone instead.

• MMS are part of the SMS plan or data plan?

  MMS are part of the SMS plan or data plan?

  On At & T the answer to your question is YES.

  By the site:

  "200 text messages, picture, video and instant messaging (IM) per month. Additional messages are 10 cents each. »

  E-mail image and video = MMS

  IM is also included, but the related data charges still apply (I do not recommend using IM unless you have at least 1,500 or dinners like every single return & more account (for example, you can reach 200 relatively easily, even in a single session).)

  In addition, I also called AT & T support to check that MMS is included.

• BlackBerry Smartphones can receive MMS

  Hello

  I'm new to BlackBerry since my wife bought me a 9000 for Christmas. According to me, the phone has been unlocked in the O2 network and I am currently on vodaphone talk.    The problem is, I can't receive MMS messages. I talked to vodaphone and they said I need to contact RIM to solve, but I was hoping that one of you, friendly people here may be able to help me. Whenever I am sent a MMS it says 'could not retrieve the content of the message, try again later' but I've never been able to recover one.are it all the settings on the phone that I have to change? or is it because I'm on talk and I need to be on a contract? also, I can't connect to the internet with the browser, while the comings and goings, I could previously through my old phone on Vodafone talk. I can get on the net via my LAN wireless at home, but it's not really useful as there are two computers and an ipod touch should I have to go.

  any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreicated.many thanks!

  Stupid people of Vodaphone.

  Do you have a data Plan BlackBerry enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?

  You need to get the data messages MMS, browser internet and much more.

  Then call your carrier and you learn about to have added to your account BlackBerry data Plan.

  Good luck.

• BlackBerry Smartphones can not send or receive MMS on my 8100

  My service provider is T-Mobile, but I have not had any problems with it on my previous phone.

  Under service book, I have Config MMS, but I have nothing under the host Routing Table. I tried clicking on 'register now', but then he says 'Registration Message sent'... He sends this message?

  My plan has the ability to send and receive MMS, and I don't have a data plan. I'm also not on any corporate server.

  Any ideas?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  If 'Register Now' done nothing (you should receive a Message on your BB), then you need to contact your carrier for assistance that something in your account with them does not work as it should... and they control your account.

  Best.

• Travel - iMessage without data Plan?

  I'm on a long trip and having some problems with my iDevices and missing my laptop... but anyway...   I had a local with a minutes and SMS plan Sim Card, but the data is too expensive so I gave.

  I wish I could iMessage (send and receive) while WiFi, like many friends use iMessage.  I would also like to SMS while not on WiFi because I have not a data plan and SMS is the only way I can communicate (cheap).

  Is this possible?  I met problems with messages from people that I sent SMS as their response goes into my account to iMessage.

  Also, I tried to disable iMessage just mysteriously turn during the night, for some reason any.  Why we do this?  Is it because I'm on iMessage on my iPad?  iReally have no idea.

  Any help clarifying just how I can make communication work with my iDevices would be appreciated.  I don't want to have to buy a burner not expensive to connect Android phone.

  Thank you!!

  iMessage will certainly work over wifi just fine, no matter where.  iMessage only requires an Internet connection, but doesn't care if it's wifi data or cell - so no cellular data but wifi is fine.

  SMS texts however, by definition, require a cellular telephone and the service.  They do not use a wifi or cellular data channel.  Specifically, they are nailed to a small unused portion of cell vocal range.  The only way to send SMS texts through wifi would be to use a middle-tier application or a web service, or to use the e-mail and send to e-mail recipients specific carrier SMS gateway.

• Always send/receive texts even if my data is turned off (and I am not connected to wifi)?

  I'll be getting an iPhone 6 s at the end of next month. 64 GB with 3 concert data (it's cheaper for me to upgrade and stay on the plan from my parents as it is for me to make my own plan). In terms of my parents, I already have a plan of SMS and minutes for my current phone (a cursor). The 6s be my first official smartphone. There is already a plan of texting in place, and the extra thing only reason I pay is the data plan.

  But I was just wondering (and I know it's a stupid question)... can I still send/receive text messages as I would with a smartphone not (and make calls and others), even if I have my data off AND I am NOT connected to wifi?

  Yes.

  SMS text messages using your cellular operator's voice communication channels.  They do not use the data.

  However, if you use iMessage, who would use the data.  So keep that off.

• 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...

• BlackBerry Q10 Confusion with Q10 and BES vs data plan

  Hello

  I've received three different types of information to Service the customer O2, O2 shop and my client who spoke thus to the O2.

  Basically, my client is on a tariff of BES. She wants to update her phone and I have suggested Q10, but we are facing problems with the compatibility of the plans.

  Apparently, if she gets Q10, she can't keep the BES rate as the phone is not compatible. What I don't understand is:

  [a] if I buy a phone and put a SIM card, I get data (internet for email, bbm, internet) regardless of the model, without having to activate the Enterprise BES Activation. So technically I could buy Q10, keep the same rate, just don't enable the Activation of Enterprise BES and just use Active Sync?

  [b] if I get a phone and enable users to email using the enterprise BES Activation, what data? Is BES process all incoming email differently, that is to say what is received in an email not included in the data plan or data is treated in the same way without activation?

  [c] I thought that BES is simply to download contacts/calendars/emails, and set the phone based on the needs of the company but in a sense, that of what makes Active Sync, right?

  I would be eternaly Grateful if someone could explain this in simple English because I feel like my head's going to explode. :/

  Thank you!

  (a) Yes.

  (b) BlackBerry10 devices must be on a server BES10 or later.

  (c) download no.. Synchronize calendars/contacts/emails - Yes, and much much much more, which allows some Admins BES/BES10 set controls, to push policies to the unit, place tighten security on the device.

• Z10 Z10 blackBerry on a normal data plan (not BIS)

  After researching if the Z10 operates on a data plan normal and not a BIS and of course it worked perfectly on Wi - Fi without a SIM card, wanted to just make sure that they are compatible with a normal cellular data plan, I went for it yesterday and Yes, everything worked except BBM, hell the BlackBerry logo disappeared from the home screen. I have contacted my provider and they shocked me, they told me it is not possible to not have an ENCORE with the Z10, and they were surprised, I was able to browse the net and send and receive e-mails, and they said they cannot support me!
  So why did I do that? A normal data plan is cheaper here, in the UNITED Arab Emirates, my cancelled BIS gave me 500 MB to 79AED, and the normal data plan gives me 1 GB for 50AED. Is there no work around for this before that I have to go back?

  Hey ya3goub,

  Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

  Thanks for the question.

  10 blackBerry smartphones require a data plan normal of your network service provider.  However the network service provider must support BlackBerry 10, otherwise some BlackBerry services will not work.

  Also BIS data plans are not available for smartphones BlackBerry 10.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  See you soon.

• Smartphone data plan (BBM, navigation and Blackberry Protect) blackBerry stops working on Blackberry 9930

  Hi I was using my Blackberry 9930 for a little over a year now, with the same data plan.

  A few days ago my laptop could not start, so I reinstalled my OS. However after successful relocation, I met a problem to access the surveys BBM, browser and Blackberry Protect.

  Wifi, browser and Appworld are fine (BBM and Blackberry Protect not fine).

  However, when I turn off my wifi, I get this.

  

  Check the service book, I noticed many missing articles...

  

  Please note that these are ALL the elements, nothing more to scroll down for.

  I noticed there is an additional element in Options > device > advanced system settings: i.e. the enterprise activation

  

  Click to open the Enterprise Activation (I also get this window when I open the mail setup), I come to the page of connection probably BES.

  

  Other messages, I understand that this could be the it policy. I've done many factory reset, via DM directly, via the command prompt using the loader/nojvm command and /resettofactory

  Things I did without success:

  -Full Wipe and reinstall operating system (7.1.0.580, 7.1.0.755 and 7.1.0.991)

  -Remove the policy with the above methods

  -Record of Routing Table, locally on the host's phone and asking the carrier to do so.

  -Access my site of carrier (telkomsel.blackberry.com) of the pc and return Service directories.

  Things to note:

  -Emails are working properly, can send and receive without wifi

  -Browser and Appworld are fine, only when the wifi is enabled

  -Change SIM on another blackberry, my data plan works perfectly

  -If I add a contact (phone B) through BBM surveys, phone B receives the request. However when a phone B accepts, nothing happens.

  -L' opposite is not true. Phone B please, my phone receives no notification.

  My career was told that my PIN code may be suspended/compromised, is it possible? and how should I proceed if it is true?

  Please advice and much appreciated.

  Thanks for the clarification.

  My carrier checked on my code PIN and IMEI on the Blackberry Administration Site and showed me a report saying that my phone has been blocked or suspended.

  The carrier States that I have to bring this matter to Blackberry since:

  1. I did not buy the handset of them (carrier)

  2. they have proved that my data plan works when the SIM card is transferred to another handset.

  Assuming that the suspension of the SPINDLE is true, nobody knows how should I proceed?

  Indeed, the situation is delicate. The support service is always the responsibility of the carrier, because they are the entity that provides services. But subsidies related to the device falls to the original place of purchase, or an entity to which they have assigned to your supported devices. When the unit was purchased elsewhere, the service provider can refuse support for issues related to the device. And it seems that your service provider is to determine it's a question related to the device rather than a question related to the service. I don't know if this conclusion is correct or not... I tend to interpret your situation as related to the service, rather focus on the device, but I have not seen the 'rules' that they must follow to do this.

  As such, your next step would be to contact the Manager of your support related to the device. Maybe it's your place of origin of the purchase, a service centre or other entity... it varies depending on the region, and I have no idea of what the device-support model is made for you. If you are unsure, contact your original purchase for orientation.

  If all goes well, they will be ready to take your case and it degrades to the BlackBerry without cost to you. I can't say whether they will be or will not be. Sometimes, when issues come and the two types of support (device and service) are not provided by the same entity, there may be a tendency for each to blame others, unfortunately, leaving the end user without recourse, but to continue to try to climb with both entities until you reach someone who will be willing to take responsibility and provide the necessary climbing.

  There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the original question, since you are not through support contracts that are in place. If you want to study, you can check it out here:

  • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/programs/technical/incident.html

  There is also this link, but I can't vouch for its usefulness because I've never needed to use it and reports in our community here indicate mixed results. But you can try:

• 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...

• BlackBerry Smartphones new owner without data Plan Questions

  This is my first post here, yesterday I received my new BB Curve 8900 from T-Mobile. I spent some time playing with the phone yesterday and of course I have a few questions.

  I chose to do not to get the data plan from T-Mobile for two reasons. One, I don't have many friends with BB if I wouldn't get many people to BBM. Second, I don't have much of a need for e-mail and internet while I travel. For me, the cost of the data plan doesn't make sense.

  That being said, it is possible to access his mail without the data plan (via wifi)? I know that I can't do 'BB Push' and is not a problem, but on my old phone (Nokia E71) I could just set the phone with my email accounts and access it using the WiFi at school or at home. I was able to get the BB browser to access my home wi - fi so I could go to the Web sites, but no luck with the e-mail. I guess I could use the email by logging in on the site of my school or AOL/GMail.com, but seems very not. Is it possible to do this, or perhaps there is an app that I could use to receive email via Wi - Fi?

  I read a lot of posts on here talking about how BB is "paralyzed" without the data plan, but honestly I don't know if a few hundred extra dollars a year is justifiable.

  Thank you!
