hi there..well im from pakistan and facing the same problem.. i have multiple service providers with the gprs abilty.. im using bb7130g with o2 updated firmware… but im not getting my bb to connect to nyone of them via opera…ive messed with the rest of the setings a couple of times so can u please update the security settings and tls and wtls settings tht u are using while gettin connecting…itl be a great help.. thanx in advance..

Same problem for me. I am on PCS Digital / Guatemala and added the APN shown in the Opera help. GPRS is enabled on the card but still no way to connect with Opera

You should *not* configure anything at “TLS” or “WTLS”. That has nothing to do with the actual Internet connection. It’s just about secure SSL connections.

I guess the problem is, that the network you are on should basically support BlackBerry devices. So if your network provider offers BlackBerry data plans it should for you, even if you do not have a data plan. Unfortunately RIM built something into their BlackBerry which prevents them to be used on providers that are not cooperating with RIM. As China Mobile joined the cooperation force BlackBerry plans are available now but actually not neccessary. That’s what this article was meant to be about.

I hope this helps a bit

well i think i got the answer so no need to try to get connected in the networks tht dont have the bb cooperation suppport…i think thts the problem im having cause everytime i get opera to try to connect…it charges me the size of a data unit but then nothin happens and the same message saying cant connect to internet…
anyways thanx for the quick reply cause i was to spend a lot on checkin the edge company here but then they arent even supportin the bb devices till yet…there is a company tht does support but they are way too costly…
take care..

This is really, cool. Thanks. I’m in the US and able to use this without a data plan!!

The question is are there any associated charges for use, e.g. data usage etc, or does it just bypass the whole data plan altogether. If it does, this is great.

btw, i have both the 8700c and the latest 8800 with the built in GPRS. I’m so glad you shared this info. Thanks again!

Well, it will cause costs of course. But that will be normal GPRS data transfer costs of your provider who should have a price list online.

Well, you can get any third party application work without a data plan. You just need a SIM card that is activated for data transfer (e.g. a normal GPRS card will work). Moreover, your network provider must have BlackBerry data transfer capabilities, so if your provider is selling "BlackBerry data plans" as well, it will work. I wrote an article on Howto: Get BlackBerry Internet Access without Data Plan (example: China Mobile) some time ago. Hope it helps a bit BlackBerry Blog | HowTos | Discounts & Deals (incl.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IT WORKED!!!! It is outrages to pay 40$ per month for the data plan just for personal use and this is just perfect, looks more like a dirty trick from RIM. As all other phones has the option to access internet and be billed per transfered data. As I was told blackberry has software limiations to do so Charges I will check later it is standart per data transfered. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Hi, I’m in canada on the Rogers network trying to figure this out. What exactly did you enter in the APN field? I’ve tried entering every combination of the china mobile info but I still cannon get a successful connection. Thanks.

@AN: Thanks for your kudos.

@Ibrew: You should, of course, select your network carrier at the provider search for Canada.

It still doesn’t seem to be able to connect when I enter the rogers information. I’m not sure what else to try.. do I need to enter the dns address anywhere in the phone that rgoers has on the provider search page?

Yes. You should enter everything that is listed at the manual setup page.

i have the 7100t, t-mobile no data plan. the only thing that i have is a free t-zones that is good for dowload ringtones. it’s a new thing that t-mobile has for bb users since may 9th.
can you help me step by step, since you said it worked for you in the us with no data plan.
also don’t forget to tell us how settings should be.
thanks.

hey everyone, i have a bb8800 and i have problem installing a program on it. i tried to install the opera browser. i live in canada and i dont have any data plan with my service provider which is rogers. i used the desktop manager to transfer the file to the phone , everytime i tried anything this message came up “no additional applications designed for you device were found”. anyone can please help me to solve this problem. thanks my email is inventor.10@hotmail.com i appreciate your help

Hi Nick,

I am sure our 3rd party application installation guide will help you.

Id be really interested to know more about US T-mobile. I can’t seem to get their (Opera’s) APN address to work for me. If anyone has had luck please let post up.

8100 Pearl

Well, the Provider Search tells us you should use this setting:

Address: wap.voicestream.com
DNS: 216.155.175.40
DNS: 216.155.175.41
Proxy Address: 216.155.165.50
Port: 8080

I’m also on T-Mobile, with an 8700g. This trick might work if we were able to input the DNS, Proxy, and Port info, but those fields are not available under TCP settings. Unless there is another way to put it in, say with some 3rd party application, I don’t think this will work. Perhaps this worked in the past, and T-Mobile recognized the free internet access users were getting, and blocked it. Today, it seems that only with a Blackberry Data Plan (currently at 19.99 a month), will users be able get internet access, or use any other data related applications, such as Google Talk.

Hi , I REALLY NEED HELP TRYING TO GET INTERNET ON MY PHONE!! i just got my bb 8300 , i thought i would be able to just slip my chip in and everything will work , but it didnt =-.( i dont have internet, i been looking and looking because i dont want to pay for a plan. i had a sk 3 but i got a bb now . CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME!! i tried to get the opera thing but it wont let me download it for nothing please please . can u call me and walk me through it?

Well, the download is very easy. Just check Opera’s site and if you have problems with downloading Opera Mini it might be better to contact the Opera team. Once you have it installed on your BlackBerry getting Internet work will be very easy.

this bb desktop thing is confusing and i dont know how to work it at all.i download the opera thing but i dont know how to put it on my phone , when i click app loader it never show the opera file. so im lost. i just called my provider and she said i will have to get a plan because my prepaid plan doesnt work with my bb 8830. but u said all i need was a gprs chip and im good to go. PLEASE HELP ME!!

We have a quite good guide on how to install 3rd party applications. You will find all information about program installing on a BlackBerry there.

ok , i just installed opera mini 4 beta, but nothing happened on my phone , its still the same.

I have no data plan with my blackberry 7100t.Since I have internet home, I wonder if I could connect my blackberry to my pc and just use my home pc internet(sharing internet).

Is that possible?

Worked well, no problems installing it. Just waiting to see how my billing look after a months usage.

Thanks

I was wondering if there was any way possible that I may be able to access e-mail and internet with a prepaid account? Thanks!

I have just purchased a T-mobile BB Pearl 8100 and do not have a data plan, but the phone does have the limited version of TZones (picture messaging, but no surfing). As per instructions above, I have installed Opera Mini and configured the Options>Advanced>TCP> with all three possible choices (Internet, VPN and No Contract). However, I am still unable to connect to the internet. Kindly help. Have I missed something? Thank you for the help.

Does this cause any billing at the end of the month?

@ADR: If your prepaid card is enabled for data transfer it should also work.

@Still At It …: Perhaps your GPRS card is not GPRS enabled (keep in mind that a SIM-Card might be enabled for GPRS data transfer without having a data plan contract at your carrier)

@Juno: Sure. You will be charged for GPRS data transfer on GSM networks for example.

my sim card is GPRS enabled ( i calle T moblie and they said thta it is because of the “edgee” written on on the top on my BB pearl. i tried all three possible choices (Internet, VPN and No Contract)and still nothing. any ideas?

I have a blackberry pearl on the rogers network in canada. Like an idiot I wasn’t aware I had to get a data plan to access the web. So it’s minimun $25/month for only 1MB whereas any other phone could get me 5MB for about $5. Can someone tell me how to get internet access on my pearl without the data plan? I’ve read above for how to do it on china mobile but not for rogers in canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Post here or email me directly at coolguyinbc@yahoo.ca Thanx

Just select Rogers at the “providers search” I mentioned above, and enter the data for Rogers. The rest is the same

well i’ve sucessfully installed both versions of opera (like the older 3.1 much better) and when I had a bb data plan they worked fine. Now without my bb data plan I can’t acess the web with opera. I have put in the appropriate info for my provider rogers here in canada but i get the message “there was a problem connecting. there might be a problem with your network settings. please go to Tools> Settings and perform the connection test. (error 3.0.4)” Now i know i can connect to the internet using the rogers wap browser but I’d like to use the opera browser and go on my regular mobile web plan. Like i said opera worked fine on my phone with the bb data plan. Any help?

Please deinstall Opera and reinstall it. It needs to re-check which Internet connection it should use because it seems to be configured to your data plan. Because if you don’t have one anymore, this does not work, of course

ok, all good now. I just reconfigured it without uninstalling it and it works great. Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated.

I’m in the US. I have a 7100G on Cingular/At&t. Do I use the Cingular settings or At&t settings? I can’t seem to get any of them to work.

I got it to work. Cool. I guess I’ll add some more medianet minutes to my plan now.

Got it! BB 8100.
Step 1:set TCP setting(option->advanced option->TCP)
Step 2: Search for Network(option->network) Set to manual and search for networks. Select the network thats found.
Step 3: Install Opera Mini.
Step 4: SURF

i bought an unlocked tmobile BB 7105t and im a cingular customer i installed the card but want to gain access to the net without the plan do i use tmobile settings or cingular settings for this and i have desktop manager im still trying to figure out how to transfer opera mini to the phone

Most likely, you would use Cingular’s settings since you are using their network. The wap settings were the only ones that worked for me.

In DM hit the ADD button, find your Opera Mini folder and click on the alx file. That should allow you to add it to your phone.

[...] Ich hoffe, Leute, dies hilft Euch ein bisschen. Hinweise und weitere Informationen sind natürlich herzlich willkomen. [...]

I can’t quite get it to work. I have a BlackBerry 8100 Pearl with T-Mobile in the US. I added cmnet, went into network options and did a manual setup for T-Mobile, and Opera Mini 4 Beta still doesn’t want to pick up the network.

In the tcp settings you need a gateway setting for instance:
T-Mobile US

APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username for APN: (blank)
Password for APN: (blank)
WAP Gateway IP: 216.155.165.50
WAP Gateway Port: 9201

My problem is my blackberry does not have the gateway field. Anyone know how to get it?

To Any one who can help.

I have two BB from T-mobile 8800 and 8700 that are unlocked and I am in China.

I installed the above software on 8800 and it works with no problems on the 8700 I can’t get it to work. Any ideas?

Also does anyone knows how to set up the email pop3 account in China? Where do you enter the IP routing?

Cheers

i am in pakistan and i don,t have gprs in my blackberry,my network provider can,t provide gprs setting for blackberry but provide gprs for all other mobile sets like nokia samsung. how i activate gprs and wap browesing at my BlackBerry7230
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if a Blackberry Pearl purchased in the US will work in Australia with a local provider? I’ve been getting mixed information and don’t want to end up only being able to use it as a phone without internet etc.

Thanks

I have a T-Mobile 7105t that I’m using with At&T Pay as You Go in the U.S. I have loaded Opera Mini 4.
I entered: APN:WAP.CINGULAR
Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password:CINGULAR1
This is what the Opera Mini help site told me to do. I still am not connecting after multiple tries. I know I have a GPRS SIM. I sale cell phones. I was glad to stumble across this site after days of frustration trying to figure out a way to beat having to have a Blabkberry plan. I actually entered the APN info days ago. I noticed a few people have T-Mobile BBs with Cingular or they have a Cingular BB. Any suggestions?? I would be so pleased if I could access the net without the costly Blackberry plan supposedly required by Cingular to do anything on a Blackberry. Why have one if all you can do is make calls and send SMS messages?!

By the way, I tried the settings for Cingular with acceleration, Cingular without acceleration and Cingular No Contract. I have no contract. None of the settings for any of these work. I have tried to set up Opera Mini with the APN settings listed above about 1 dozen times. I don’t get how others in the U.S. are getting on it and praising this info but it won’t work for me. Please help!!!!!!!!

Sorry to keep making multiple posts every time a thought comes across but I thought it was worth mentioning that I too am seeing what one of the above users sees on my home screen. I see “data connection refused” and “gprs” in lower case. Does this make a difference? Anyone currently browsing the internet with the above set-up see this on the screen?
Thanks again for replies. I’ve stayed up into the morning every night trying to get different things on my BB to work. Waited 8 hours for the unlock code to be e-mailed to me. I’m beyond frustrated now.

Also, when I connect my BB to my laptop and open the Desktop Manager it doesn’t sync with it. I get a message about checking with my provider for the software. This is the software that came with the phone. So I can add apps but I can’t delete anything. It doesn’t show anything on my phone to remove.
This problem is secondary though compared to trying to connect to the internet. It’s almost 6 AM here. I guess I’m finally going to go to sleep. I have been at this for nights. I even got a bootleg copy of Blackberry Enterprise Server for Microsoft Exchange. It’s a $3000 program! Does me no good though if my Blackberry just makes calls and sends SMS messages.

Here’s a site I found that might be useful for some of you. It offers more options to try as your APN set-up. It gave me 5 or 6 different APN set-ups to try for AT&T/Cingular as opposed to the 2 or 3 we’ve only seen so far. Definitely check it out.

http://www.webmessenger.com/support/APN.jsp

After reading 10 pages of a blackberry forum all of the administrators said that doing the APN settings may work for some people to connect with Opera but it’s not guaranteed. They all say what we don’t want to hear. You pretty much need a Blackberry plan through your provider. The address for the blackberry forum is:

http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-network/2185-blackberry-internet-msn-chat-web-telnet-tcpip-no-bes-10.html

Hope this helps some of you. I’m still hoping someone can help me with my question above.

Here’s a new one I got from Cingular/AT&T technical support tonight. She said this is the most widely used one.

APN:wireless.cingular.com

APN Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

APN Password: CINGULAR1

She told me as of Monday due to all of the support call they were getting regarding customers who had data but not a Blackberry plan they have made it to where you HAVE to have a Blackberry plan. Bad news…. She still was very helpful and tried a lot of different settings with me on my Blackberry Pearl 8100 and my 7105t. It’s rare to get good help from them so she surprised me.

I have a blackberry pearl and i have the old AT&T before it turned cingular and AT&T again and i installed opera mini on my phone and i still can’t get any connection even after i tried all the different APN setups…any suggestions?

hello i bought a 7105t from a factory outlet and it is a tmobile phone but i in canada and it is unlocked to use here…
do i enter the rogers info since they are my provider or do i enter tmobile info since the phone is a tmobile phone

Hi,

I have just purchased 8310 and am trying to run Opra Mini. I am connected to Mobilink in Pakistan and facing the same problem. My GPRS is active and I am not sure what settings should I provide to run Opra. Any help at anjum.raheel_Purge@gmail.com will be very useful.

PS: Please delete “_Purge” from my email.

Thanks in advance.

I have found this now. For APN I entered

connect.mobilinkworld.com

And User ID and PWD I left blank. Opera is working now!

Thanks

P.S. I’ve tried every apn username and password given from the website but still having trouble.

I get a firewall error

Can anyone tell me if they have tried this and if it works with Sprint.

I have a BB8703e and don’t want to pay the $30/mo anymore for the Blackberry pack.

No , i haven’t been able to fix the problem. I just switched back to my sidekick. =(

Hey Marti im with t-mobile too and did the same settings as you said, but my BB still does not goes into my wap with the Blackberry Browser or with Opera for that matter. it only tells my about my device not having the browser configuration service. Any ideas ?

Can someone help me out, I’ve experienced a very weird problem. Only came across this thread this morning and I’ve been looking for a way to use GPRS on the Blackberry without a data plan for ages. I installed opera mini on one of my 8700s and changed the APN to my provider and it worked straight away. However I have tried connecting with my other Blackberrys including another 8700 and it just wont connect. Says something about trying to access opera inside and outside of the firewall and the IT policy wont allow it. Anyone have any ideas??

I was wondering, is this free? as in when i go on the internet, will i get internet charges on my phone bill?

@ Jay yes you will get charges. Even though you can do this without a data plan you still have to pay for GPRS usage as you would with any phone.

Did you set your APN?

K

as far as i can understand your the most “educated” about the BB. i have opera installed onto my blackberry already and ran the “network test” but everytime i ran the test it FAILED and even changed the VPN couple of times but it still don’t work you got any suggestions for me ??? thanx

STEVE its me irakli. YES i have set up the VPN and it is called “internet3.voicestream.com” but i have also tried the “wap.voicestream.com” but non of them have worked. COULD you please tell me the right thing for me ?? i am in the US on t-mobile.

Sounds like you are having the same problem to me. I was able to connect opera on one of my 8700s straight away but I can’t connect using any of my others (including other 8700s). I think it’s something to do with the IT policy.

It is always useful to check with your provider if your SIM card is unlocked for GPRS usage.

K

i did check my sim and it is GPRS capable. right now it shows it in SMALL letters but i know that it can handle GPRS. i tried all of the VPNS from t-mobile but it still did not work. Do i have to reboot my BB everytime i enter a new VPN and then start the opera ??? could anybody post a HOW TO step by step “setting up internet on BB with opera mini” ??? i just wanna have internet lol i am tired from all this HEADACHES and VPN access codes lol somebody HELLP

Why do you keep calling it a VPN? A VPN is a virtual private network which has nothing to do with this. Are you getting any errors that pop up when trying to connect? Something along the lines of “operette$dhifi is trying to access a connection inside the firewall and outside the firewall blah blah….” I was having that trouble before and tried reinstalling desktop manager (making sure I ticked internet service and not enterprise), then I deleted opera from the handset and reinstalled it. After doing that I no longer had the firewall error and got another 8700 to connect however I still can’t get my 6230 to connect. Has anyone successfully got their Berry 6230 to connect?

no i don’t get any kind of ERROR when i was opening the OPERA. and why does not the “vpn” has nothing to do with this ?? is not that the reason (or part of it) that i can not CONNECT to internet. ???

I have a bb8100 with Opera mini and i am able to connect to the internet.

In mobile network ensure Data Service is “ON”
Under Advanced Options >TCP type in “internet.com”
User name and password is left blank

This is all I need to get on the internet.
I will have to wait for my bill to to see if i will be charged for usage.

dude i have 8700g blackberry and i tried EVERYTHING on my phone but it does not work for some STRANGE reason. i have 4.2 OS on my BB and OPERA mini 4.0 (the opera mini web site told me that it could handle opera 4.0 ) do u have any other suggestions for my problem lol ?

Anyone found out how to get the opera mini to work on BB8300 without data plan. I am with cable and wireless in barabdos and they say it cannot work on prepaid. I have GPRS sim card. They are not able to give me the APN settings either.

Let me clarify. I had a postpaid contract voice and data plan with cable and wireless. I roamed and my bill was huge. So I discontinued the service, since I do not need BIS at home. I have highspeed internet access. I only need it when I am traveling. So I have it on pre paid I have voice but they say to me I cannot get wap. I have the opera browser installed. I am trying to get the APN setting for a normal prepaid wap. Hvaing read the first post. I figure I can use the bb8300 with prepaid and opera. So any guidance will help.

Cheers

I was wondering if there is a way to download files when they pop up and not have the official BB browser open them instead. Can Opera be a default setting? I can’t seem to add apps on my phone because everytime I click to download, the other browser (which doesn’t work because I don’t have a data plan) and it kills the download.

Hello,

I am in Canada and I was able to have my unlocked T-mobile 8700 work with Fido, using their monthly internet package to connect to the internet.

In the TCP settings, I used

interner.fido.ca
password: fido
username: fido

Before I got it to work I had installed the Blackberry Desktop manager for Internet use and not the option where it says I have an administrator… that did NOT work. So I installed it as if I was part of an organization with an administrator, and it worked.

I just brought the bb 8830, am wondering how do i get the opera mini to work without getting the plan. r should get the plan download opera mini and cancel once im in.. please someone help me figure this out, i dont want to pay for a plan when i dont have to

oh im in the us

Why on earth would anyone even try to connect to Rogers data WITHOUT a data plan?

Guess what folks…If you connect without a data plan you will be paying $0.05 a KB.

Navigate a few web pages at this rate and you’ll get a bill for a few hundred dollars.

Trust me….don’t even attempt this, you’ll regret it!!!

I get firewall errors. What do I do? (BB7280)

I am on t-mobile in the UK and i entered the tcp settings that i got from the provider search.
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username : Blank
Password : Blank
But when i open opera mini i still can’t connect. My sim card is enabled for GPRS. What am i doing wrong and also, where can i enter the IP/Port settings?
I am using a BB 7290

bad news for tmobile folks in the U.S. at least i found out that tmobile is blocking blackberry’s from accessing the net so you pretty much have to pay for BIS looking into some other way around it

I have a very different question/problem. I have a blackberry, but I
really don’t use it for internet stuff. I just want it to be my cellphone and PDA. How can I get cell phone service without paying
for the data plan that I never use.

Great Article! Got the mini Opera, installed, and without any further setting or data plans, got the web! I am on Tmobile USA. Thanks!

@123 MAKINGTHEWEB,
I’m planning on getting a bb curve next week thru my at&t upgrade. Please let us know what your next bill looks like. I have a funny feeling that you’re going to be in for a big surprise if you continue to use the web.

I have an unlocked blackberry curve from at&t that I use with t-mobile. I am in Usa. I tried all this but it won’t work help

my service provider is Claro, former Verizon, in Dominican Republic. i can’t get the configuration that you guys are talking to use web browsing (i have a BB 7790), i’ve downloaded the Opera Mini, what’s next step?

is this illegal in any way

@luke: it should not be illegal. you might have to pay data charges anyway so it is actually good for your provider. but you don’t need a ‘real BlackBerry data plan’

how do i do this on an 8800? or at least what does the esc button on a pearl equal out to on an 8800? (((

Hi to all those people that are sick of trying to get online with your BB Pearl, i have a rogers unlocked pearl, and i have been trying for months

Follow this:

First of all if you have the opera 4.1 installed on your Pearl, uninstall it and restart your phone.

And the re-install opera 4.1 on your pearl.

under TCP
APN- (Ask your service provider)
Username- Blank
Password- Blank

The reason i put “ask your service provider” beside APN, is because the Provider search didn’t work for me, i had to call in and get my APN from my provider and it wored perfect.

I installed opera mini on my blackberry 8800 worked fine. I was able to surf the web pages and even blackberry maps worked fine but see the other side of the picture, for usining this service about two weeks I get data usage charges of $2000. which is quiet overwhelming for me so please be care full.

hey guys, does anyone know if the sidekick data plan will work with the blackberry curve from t-mobile? I am trying to avoid the costly data plan…thanks!

thnx a lot it realy works..

thnx dud. i am very happy to work on it……..

Hi I have a tmobile 8320curve I was getting free internet but I did something and lost it does anyone know how to reconfigure the browser I can get the internet now but I have to go through the wifi before I did not have to do that I just had to go into the browser and I don’t want to hard reset although I maÝ have tom

Device: BB Pearl 8120
Network: Warid-Pakistan

I installed Opera mini 4.1 and its working fine, i dont have any DataPlans, But My BB Maps are disabled along with MMS, is there a way to Send MMS without Data Plans…

I recently purchased a blackberry 7290 that I’m using with my T-mobile account (it’s not a data account) and I installed Opera Mini 4.1 but I keep getting a message that says The application operette $2dhifi has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy. Has anyone gotten this message? If so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

WOW … Everything,not just Opera, is up and running …iskoot….gmail java client… OMG… Sitting in China…

Hi,

If you have a BB with basic data plan (email only) and you are trying to use the Internet with local wifi.. Basically you are using the BB as a computer. Do you still have to pay by data rate? Will the time you surf the net goes towards your minutes?

Basically how does the pricing works?

Wow. T Moblie by contract sent me a 3 month post data bill. they are aware of the china moblie browser, and by defalt locked be into a 1 year contract for using the bb as a data device with out a plan…they treatened my credit if i didnt pay it, and if i cancel im still billed…..screwed,..

[...] on the procedure! Thanks so much! Rob Hi Rob, this article might be interesting for you: Howto: Get BlackBerry Internet Access without Data Plan (example: China Mobile) Blog | HowTos | Free Downloads | Search | Software [...]

Hello! is there any way that i can connect in the internet using my BB here in the Philippines? I am sure that there is no available GPRS setting specifically for a BB device yet in PH. Also, i tried dloading opera and i had it installed in my BB phone. I used cmnet as my address., but still, theres no way for me to access the inet. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN, THANK YOU !!

I am getting an unlocked BB curve 8320 with wifi. I only have voice plan through my provider. I don’t want to do what this article says because I don’t want ANY data charges. I want to know the 2 following things and can not get anyone to answer them. Any help would be appreciated.

1. Will I still be able to use the phone with my regular voice plan (sim card), as far as phone calls, music player, camera, etc…

2. With the wi-fi, as long as I can access a wi-fi connection (home, hotels, airports, …) will I be able to use the internet on my device?

Jon,

I have been a VoiceStream/T-Mobile for 10 years. I just recently upgraded my phone to the black, Blackberry Pearl 8220 Flip Phone. I was horrified to find out that they changed their billing structure and service requirements so that you now have to pay $25.00 for the data plan in order to access the Blackberry network. Which isn’t even supported by T-mobile, (a European company, not an American Company. Don’t ask me why they were even allowed to acquire VoiceStream. That shit should have been blocked by congress. As if they hadn’t sold us out long before that, but anyways). The BB Network runs independently.

Nonetheless, they had already quoted me the $10.00 that they charged for it a few days ago. So, the customer retention department gave it to me anyways. Pathetic. T-mobile is racking up the fee’s and taking their LOYAL CUSTOMERS TO TOWN, IN THE WORST DEPRESSION IN 100 YEARS. SCHMUCKS!! – You should check out the Sprint plans. Even for family plans they offer a 1500 min plan, (little light on the minutes by about 500), with UNLIMITED DATA. And of course, on SPRINT, you have TV!!!!!). Plus, T-MOBILE, doesn’t even have shit for 3G networks. So, you’re dealing with the slow Edge network.

Long story short, I have the same question you do. T-mobile told me that I couldn’t access the web AT ALL!! Even by using the WI-FI option.

I happen to be a lawyer and am now planning to launch a Class Action lawsuit against T-mobile due to this. You purchase the phone which is not manufactured by them. It has features built in by the manufacturer that allows for a user to utilize their manufacturer provided web browser on their home network that is provided by hardware that they have purchased themselves (unrelated to T-mobile) and is activated (by way of internet access) by the internet service provider that they have elected to use, and it is funded by the customers. For T-mobile as a third party seller of the manufacturers equipment has NO right to lawfully prevent the purchasers of said equipment from accessing their own internet networks or free networks in general.

You should call and complain. Also, if you are interested in joining the class action lawsuit, send your personal contact information to: TheExaminers@gmail.com.

I just quickly typed all of this down and it’s late for me right now, I haven’t revised it. If their is anything that doesn’t make sense, fire an e-mail off and I’ll get back to you.

Best Regards,

John

Well there seems to be alot of info hear. I’m a Rogers pay as you go client in Ontario. I was told by various suppliers that you can not access the DATA feature or web on the pearl I have on “PAY AS YOU GO”.
However, very angered and upset(by my now seemingly pointless purchase of the Blackberry) I tried many thing…

1) tried OPERA mini… no success
2) tried Map features as well ass GOOGLE MAPS….nothing
3) yelled at ROGERS….just got more angry…
4) calmed down and thought……….
5) managed to unlock my phone ( actually erased it)
6) reloaded with DESKTOP MANAGER 4.5 handset O.S. with ROGERS pre sets
****important = delete vendor.mxl in apploader file
7) got ROGERS WAP BROWSER
called customer service and had $7.00 web browsing added to my phone…goam.com is what shows up on my call transactions with $0.00 cost….from what I’ve found almost limit less 3000000 pages per month and almost every site avaliable
9) loaded opera mini back 4.2 and made TCP setting (and this is the only way it works) APN = internet.com USERNAME = wapuser1 PASS = wap
Now I have DATA TRANSFER through OPERA and WAP through ROGERS BROWSER
*****However using data OPERA has to access internet.com which costs BIG DOLLARS… and shows up in transaction history from ROGERS as “in(ternet.com data $$$$$$$$$$$(BIG DOLLARS)
wap browser shows up as
“goam data $0.00 (minus’pages viewed frpm my 3000000 monthly…..

ANY THING IS POSSIBLE

i have the bb 8110 from at&t and the browser does work but we took the internet off when we bought them so how come it works?? can anyone explain me that and am i charged if i use it???

That’s funny Cesar. Because, something similar happend to me with T Mobile(usa). I spoke with a representative about the internet access. They told me that Because I have a BB Pearl, there was a limited data plan that Blackberry was offering for free as a promotion. So, I told her to put it on. It allowed me access to a limited amount of information. Then, after the promotion was over. I got full internet access. I called to make sure that they took it off my phone because I didn’t want to get charged for it. Say word. The rep told me that She didn’t see any data plan on my account. I made sure that i wasn’t getting charged for having the date plan. She said that she don’t see anything on my account for it. Nothing was being charged to me, and nothing is being charged to me. But, I have full access to the internet on my Blackberry. I call every now and then to see whats on my plan. They never see that i have internet access.
That’s real bugged up. I’m not complaining.

Thanks!

Hi there,
I’m using BlackBerry in Indonesia with XL as the operator. Currently I subscribe the bb data plan for around 12usd/month, unlimited access. This April I will go to China for 2 weeks and not sure if the steps you explain will work for my BlackBerry BOLD 9000 as well. Is there anyone using the sama bb type (bold)? I’m thinking of using china mobile operator to my bold. Thanks and appreciate your help!

Hey, I switched to T-Mobile last week and got BlackBerry 8220 without any data plan. The sale person told me I could still use the Internet when available. However, I’m having trouble to run Opera Mini on it – actually, I installed it through BB Desktop Manager, but I can’t run it, or I don’t know how to run it. I could see Opera Mini in Advanced Options -> Applications. But I don’t see Opera Mini in the application folder where you normally start the app. So, how can I make the Opera Mini icon visible in the app folder?

I also tried some suggestions like changing APN to wap.voicestream.com or to internet.com, none of them seem to work.

Thanks for your help.

Ah, I figured it out…it went to the Download folder.

my blackberry cannot connect to the internet…how do i get the right configuration my service provider is safaricom kenya..

Okay, So I got Opera mini on my Blackberry, but when I got configure the network and such is says “The application operette$2dhifi$2 has attempted to open a connection location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy.”

What does that mean and will I be able to get the internet to work?

Hi,
I have an Blackberry bold 9000 set with an Optus pre paid connection. I would like to get blackberry internet facilities in my prepaid connection. Let me know the suitable solutions and rates.

But doesn’t your service provider for ex, AT&T, check the bandwidth usage of your phone and detect it hence causing you to shut it down?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I can’t watch videos and I can’t download stuff off the web with my phone. And the only way to go on the internet with my phone is by using WiFi. Can’t I connect to the internet over the phone’s network? thanks

I have a blackberry 8330…I need help for one I’m with page plus
they are some how connected with version network. they offer me 20mb data
plan i had my blackberry flash to page plus they dont offer the phone.

Long story short….I was recently cut off from using blackberry services
example…push mail,browser,google maps any apps the require data transmission
no longer work..something about blackberry cutting people off the service rep told me.
I did install opera and it has been working fine! I cant fine a alternative to push mail
and none of my apps work that require data.

Is there a way to port/proxy all my apps to run through Opera. As opposed to
these apps trying to use blackberry servers by default at least i suspect thats what
they are trying to do.

hello,
i just got a blackberry storm, and i tried almost evrything listed in there; getting the GPRS active sim, downloaded Opera mini 4.2 and set up the APN as per my service provider’s settings for the GPRS but am still in the dark, opera doesnt connect and seem to be leaving me with an error message.
can anyone please guide me through this? thx…

Rogers customer in canada; i have a BB bold – unlimited email/text but no actual data plan. I used to be able to surf for free using Opera…but since this summer, I can no longer surf for free using Opera…is it possible Rogers has closed up the “loophole” to prevent those with no data from being able to surf using Opera??? Same issue with some other wap apps like Windows Live Search and the Weather Network..used to be able to use those for free without a data plan but no more…

I just bought a BB 8700 from ebay to replace my broken BB 8320. I am on the USA T-mobile network. I just wanted to make sure I got the posting on this page right.

On my 8320 I got Wifi to work so that I could connect to the internet whenever I had Wifi. I was never charged for this.

However after reading this board I am under the impression that if I use Wifi on my 8700 I will still be charged a data usage fee? Is this right?

Thank you- Venay

credit repair…

I only wish that I had found this website sooner!…

It worked, i just installed on my 8310 and it fired right up. I will still be charged data usage though right?

I have blackberry 8100 from T-mobile. I cannot access to internet from it despite having a GPRS supported SIM card. I live in Nepal.What shall I do?

I tried it on my blackberry 8700, it wokred but Iam waiting to see if the provider will charge me.
My question is, is it necessary to fill out the VPN? For example, when you go through the download for Opera, it says put Proxy in the VPN. I did not and I can still acess the internet through Opera. Does it make any difference?
Thanks for your contribution

Hey ..
I can help in providing BB settings to run Blackberry browser and all Third Party Apps using only GPRS for service providers in India including Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Reliance GSM etc..

NO need to take BIS or BES Services as they are very costly in India…

U can also run internet on your laptop/PC through your balckberry handset on GPRS .. and get best speed upto 20KBps.

U can also run all third party applications like google maps, gmail, blackberry weather etc.. through GPRS

just mail me at siddharathsikri @ gmail dot com (mind that there are not spaces in my email id

Hi there,

I have just got a Blackberry 9700 in India but again the problem is that I am not able to go online or use any social networking, e-mail or chat. I called my network provider which is Vodafone in India. They say it would cost $30.00 per month. Is there a way that i can go online without the blackberry data service. Please help. Also help me if I can download the blackberry application world without the data service coz whenever i tryto download application world..it says device not supported.

Hi I am looking at buying the bb 9700 outright because i dont want to be locked into my contract again. I am in Australia and currently on the 3 mobile (VHA) network. I looked into it and apparently if your on a plan you pay $10AU a month to use the bb + a $40 pack but that gets credited. I mean $10 is not alot but if there is a way around it that anyone knows that would be great. I will try that mini opera but id rather know for sure.

Thanks

I am using a Blackberry Storm 9500 In india with Airtel Post paid SIM.
Does anybody know the APN settings Username and Password for Airtel India

Thanks

I think this stuff about using connecting to the network without paying for data is just a lie because, I have unlocked verizon blackberry 9530 and my provider is T-mobile I tried all information given, but could not get it to work.
I downloaded the Oeramini5 could not open the folder on my PC either. First, I like someone to tell me what software is needed to open the Operamini folder. I have XP and window 2000.

Thanks.

hi, my bro gave me his old blackberry bold but my rents are not letting me get the data plan. i heard you can access wi-fi if your in range of a network with out getting charged… is this true? and if so how do i do it?

to access browser even though the message of “contact service provider” appears, do the following steps:

1)OPTIONS-> Advanced Options->Host Routing Table
2) Once in there press “menu” key and select Register Now 
3) Exit, and at homescreen you should notice you received a text message… OPEN IT!
4)Your registration was successful and your browser settings have been modified… YW!

to make your blackberry faster !!!
steps:
1)In homescreen hold “alt” key and type LGLG (your work won’t appear)
2)A page full of typed words and numbers should appear… press “menu” and select CLEAR LOG
3) DELETE
4) Congrats you’ve erased all the filed errors from your blackberry and you’ll notice it has become faster  

yes its true! but ahh i did it a year ago and settings have changed but im about to be told how to do it… as soon as I receive the info i’ll post it…
