• 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.

  How do they say that I use my data service if my sim card is not in the phone

  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.

• WiFi or data plan required

  I am looking for an i1, but I want to know if you can use an active Nextel sim card of an i680 has not given plan and continue to use the WiFi feature, or do I have to get a data plan. Sprint/Nextel says I'm going to fry the phone if I try, but I used the card in other phones, like the i530 and i580. I would like to hear from anyone who has the Sprint/Nextel. Boost really helps me a lot. Thank you.

  It is recommended to use the SIM card provided with the new phone, otherwise, you may encounter problems with certain features of phone. Although, you should be able to use your old sim in a new phone. You can take the sims for any sprint store to have your contacts copied in the new SIM for free.

  You don't need to buy a data plan, but I recommend that you add a package of data with a phone of this type that you will be charged per KB on the Nextel network. It costs an additional $10.00 per month and he called the Nextel data block.

• BlackBerry 10 wifi vs data plan

  Hello
  Here's the problem:
  At home, I use Wi-Fi with my z10, when I leave the House, my logic says that the unit should switch to the data connection / service plan provided by the companies I have active.
  What happens is that im without any connection and I have to turn off the wifi and restart the device. Can someone help me pls for this problem?
  Thank you

  I communicate with your wireless service provider and make sure that your data plan is configured correctly. If this does not fix it they have to escalate your case to BlackBerry.

• 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.

• 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!

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.

• Why is my iPhone 4S always connect to Internet without wifi or data plan

  To save money I had my phone company (a Canadian one called SaskTel) take my iPhone from data/text/speech just talk about text. As almost a month ago and despite checking with them twice and said them it is common; y tali/text only and that is all I pay supposedly for, I can always connect to the Internet anywhere. Even when my wifi is not at hand or there is no recognized the WiFi or even someone unlocked open wifi, I can always get an Internet connection, and the phone says 3G. I was in the middle of nowhere and it is always to get an Internet connection and downloading podcasts streaming away from radio stations.

  Who gave am I using? Who provides this connection? Someone said it might be Apple and I'll eventually get a bill for him. SaskTel swore twice it wasn't them and I even let him tinker with the phone a bit but it's still talk/text according to them but still get an Internet connection, but not them.

  I would like to ID how he done this before that someone sends me a Bill sky high from nowhere.

  Sorry, apple has nothing to do with cellular data.

  In order to use a cell iphone data are needed, unless you use it as an ipod and then it is not necessary.

  If your problem is with your phone carrier and not Apple.

• 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.

• My macpro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

  my mac pro is backup in the capsule of time even when I was at work, which means that the time capsule is consumed my data plan. Can anyone suggest a way I can have it the backup only when my mac pro and time capsule is in the same local wifi

  If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

  Good day.

  I not have data plan with tmobile, I connect my phone to my wifi at home. It says it is connected and I am able to use internet. However, I can't use facebook etc, line, whats app, app world.  I tried so many ways.

  1. I have reload the operating system. He works on the right path. However, as soon as I leave the House (wifi zone), I no longer works when I get back.

  2. remove the sim card and battary

  3. I went to the office of information TECHNOLOGY, and they said it is blackberry app world not internet problem

  4. go to T-mobile, and he cannot understand what is wrong with my phone.

  What should I do? Help, please.

  1. you went to what COMPUTER desk?

  2. you have your phone number listed in your profile... Here on the left, under your name. It is not wise to display your phone number in public forums like this. You can change your profile above on this page by clicking my settings.

  3. you will definitely need a BlackBerry BIS data plan for most all BlackBerry data services a functions. AppWorld you should be able to use WiFi only.

• 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:

  No, not with a Data Plan. You can use the WiFi Hotspot browser to check your Gmail on the browser, but you can not just rely on a 'button' and receive on request. It would be 'pull' email and BlackBerry don't do that.
