You are not able to use those apps like GTalk may be because you do not have those service books (via data plan).

EDGE, 3G, 4G display on screen depends on two things – 1) Whether a particular BlackBerry is supported or not (for eg. – 8310 will only display EDGE) 2) Service provider has that coverage on that location at a given time

I actually have many questions about Blackberry and the services available so if you have the time I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me on some of these issues. I needed to upgrade my phone and bought a Torch 9810. I do not BBM but have an old all-talk plan from a provider. We are in the Cayman Islands by the way where all things mobile are very expensive. Anyway, I have not signed up for a Data plan but have access to Wi-Fi once Data Services are on. I also noticed that I am able to browse the internet check e-mail once on WI-FI. Also I noticed that when not on WI-FI with Data Services on, I can still browse some sights but anything like e-mail or jaxtrsms does not work. I have apps like GTalk, Yahoo messenger but they don’t work even when on Wi-Fi. A message “Service not supported for this handheld.” or something similar pops up. So as you can see I am just trying to understand how this all works. The company has $3.00 Social package good for 7 days to do Facebook, IM, etc. no browsing. And a $10.00 Full internet access for 7 days. But I don’t know whether things like jaxtrsms would work using these data plans. Anyway, Do service books have anything to do with these settings? Why don’t some social apps work even though I have full access to the internet via Wi-Fi? The company told us that these add on packages $3. and $7. are not available to me because I don’t have a data plan. We only have a postpaid all-talk plan. This company (LIME) recently upgraded to 4G they claim but all I see is 3G on the screen. Some of contacts have Blackberries but they get edge or EDGE service.

Can someone help me make sense of some of this

I have my blackberry 9900 for several days now, and I noticed from the status menu that I am still connected to Blackberry Internet Service when I turn off my mobile network (while on wifi).

Because BIS wasn’t working at first, I check the connection a couple of times a day. Until know, it always said it was connected using the Mobile Network.

How can I make sure that the wifi connection is used when I am connected to wifi? Shouldn’t this switch automatically? Or did my provider configure the phone to use the mobile network.

Hope you can clearify.

Hello, I have a blackberry from Mexico and I am now in Italy. My blackberry messenger worked well with a wi-fi connection and then I removed the SIM card and put it back again and the blackberry messenger does not work with wi-fi connection as it used to be although I am connected to wi-fi and the browser works well but not the bbm. What can I do to make the bbm work again with wi-fi?
Please help!!

there are two options on my phone:

Data service: which is on
data service on Roaming: its is off.

but when is switch off data service i cannot surf on wifi!

if i’m using wifi to do my emails and browsing is there any chance that i’m using the data services and being charged, if data service is on and data service on roaming is off
