> In reply to cfm69 @ 2009-05-11 23:39 from vC0I - click to readwith this phone even tho you dont have a data plan you can still acess WIFI. the thing is if your looking for the Application MSN/ YAHOO, this is where your gonna run into problems. due that is a application it would require the data plan and wont let you log in.

If your under the wifi, you can always try going on websites such as ebuddy.com, iloveim.com ( not sure about the iloveim, but Ebuddy works great) thats the only way i know how to acess msn/yahoo when i dont have the messenger available to me.
Hope this helps you a little more on your decision.

And if your going with Rogers we do have a v

Press Menu button and click on Set Up then click on Set Up Wi-Fi (Some options may be different depending on the model of Blackberry and version of operating system. But needs to go in Set up Wi-Fi option)
Or
Click on Manage Connections and then scroll down and click on Set Up Wi-Fi Network
Click Next and then click on Scan for Networks
If your Wi-Fi radio is OFF then it will prompt to Turn Wi-Fi on, Click on Turn Wi-Fi on and it will search for available Wi-Fi networks and will show the list of available Wi-Fi networks Click on your Wi-Fi network, you want to connect to. If that Wi-Fi has WEP encryption set then it will prompt you to add Network Key.

Follow the prompts and later you will see Connection Successful and if you want to save it as Profile. Follow the prompts and click on Finish. That’s it. You are now connected to Wi-Fi. On your BlackBerry Home screen you will see your Wi-Fi network name besides your Wireless Carrier’s Name

> In reply to JK @ 2009-05-11 11:20 from u1ti - click to readTo start with, if it says UMA on your home screen then your BB is attempting to connect through Rogers TalkSpot instead of the EDGE network. If you don;t have TalkSpot on your plan, then go into Manage Connections > Mobile Network Options and make sure Data is set to ON and your Connection Preference is set to Mobile Network Only. This ensures your data will go through the Rogers BIS Network.

Now you should see "EDGE" where it used to say UMA. This means you're connected to Rogers BIS. If it says "edge" then Rogers hasn't added a BlackBerry Plan on your account and you must phone them.

and also
Options > Browser Configuration > Browser > Hotspot Browser.

Hi Friends,

I never used BB before. I love BB Curve 8900. I am using prepaid services and was wondering can i use Blackberry straight away with this SIM/connection/prepaid without actually getting BB services from my phone provider.

Thanks for your help.
