I am able to browse using wifi connections, however since I upgraded my handset to a newer bold i am unable to browse pages for my carrier over wifi (complains that radio must be on). Annoying but not serious.
I also notice junk bookmarks for my carrier which have been pushed/injected and can’t be deleted afaik (and these, equally, cannot be browsed via wifi and give same error!).
Anybody know if this can be fixed? I am thinking about trying bolt browser

Were you able to browse on Wi-Fi anytime before by any chance? I would suggest deleting the saved wi-fi profiles and then setting it up from scratch. It’s a good idea to test this BlackBerry on other open Wi-Fi connections.

I have a verizon BBCurve, and my service is shut off at the moment due to unemployment… Is there still a way for the internet browser to work when there is no service plan activated?

Delete the saved Wi-Fi profile, Set up again and try. Make sure you haven’t missed changing the default browser to Hot-Spot browser.

Those data usage from your SIM card might be the Third-party apps using the data plan. Make sure your browser is set to Hot-Spot browser. Other than that hard to control the data usage from carrier.
