Does BB GPS work on T-Mobile Pearl without a data plan?

I do not have a data plan with my BB.
The GPS entry under Advanced Options shows: GPS Data Source: None, BPS Services: Location ON.
I'd like to use the GPSLogger application that says it needs no data access to operate, but it sits on "Waiting for GPS data...". 
What exactly is the "GPS Data Source" mentioned in the options?
Thanks in advance.

okay, I was tricked by the following page :
http://www.blackberry.com/blackberrypearl/8200/pearl_specifications.shtml
tha indicates that the application "BlackBerry Maps" is included on the 8220. Apparently, RIM believes it is interesting to have that application without an internal GPS receiver included.
Sorry for the false hope.
here is a comparison of Storm, 8110, 8220 and 8230. All have a GPS receiver included except the 8220.

  • I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? 20 Year Verizon Client

    I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? Any other advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    The only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones.  That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is  not the same.
    If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited.

  • Can an iPhone work without a data plan, like an iPod?

    If I purchase a new iPhone 4S, I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my daughter to use as an iPod touch.  Will it work the same as an iPod touch just without a data plan, not being used as a cellphone, just an electronic device?

    Being already activated, the old iPhone 4 should still work as an iPod even if the data and cell plan are cancelled. If it deactivates for some reason, you'll need a valid SIM to reactivate, though you still shouldn't need a cell plan. You can ask for confirmation in the iPhone forum, just in case I'm missing some recent change or detail.
    Regards.

  • If I buy a used iPhone 4 without a data plan will the GPS work?

    I live in Canada and am a complete newbie when it comes to cell phones and data plans. I am not interested in having or paying for cellular telephone capability.
    I've been using the 64 Gb iPod Touch 4 but detest its 0.7 Mb still camera and bemoan its lack of GPS.
    Now that the iPhone 4S has been released, there are many folks selling their older iPhone 4s. I'd love to use one of these older iPhone units with their better camera and GPS capability, but don't want to pay for a data plan, nor am I willing to pay $850 for an unlocked iPhone 4S. I'm happy to continue using wireless internet and don't need a cell phone.
    Being a newbie when it comes to data plans and cell phones, if I purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone:
    1. Does it need a SIM card (activated or not) to use the GPS on it? If yes, must a deactivated SIM card be provided by the seller or where can I obtain one?
    2. Does the iPhone 4 need to be on a cellular plan to use the GPS?
    3. I can use a deactivated iPhone 4 on WiFi only as I've been doing with the iPod Touch 4, correct?
    4. If I can use a deactivated, non-contract iPhone 4 on WiFi only, will the GPS work and allow me to use GPS-enabled apps? If yes, does it somehow still "tie"into available local cell networks to achieve a position without me paying for (or being registered for) cellular access?
    5. Can future iOS upgrades (say to iOS5) still be performed on a deactivated iPhone 4 without a cell plan?
    6. Do I need to purchase the iPhone 4 from a Canadian seller given my above questions? What other questions do I need to ask of the seller when looking for a used iPhone 4?
    Thanks in advance for any help with my newbie questions!

    Thanks for that, Paulfromwallasey. I live in a rural area without many cell towers and with WiFi only in my home. I do use offline maps (topographical and street maps) on my iPod Touch 4 outdoors (not needing a signal, WiFi or cellular). I also have a hand-held Garmin GPS receiver but would rather use the GPS in the iPhone (its positional accuracy, while likely being lower than that obtained from my Garmin, is likely sufficient for my needs).
    I guess that one of the questions that I was asking is if I were to purchase a used iPhone 4 from someone, and the SIM card have been removed, would the device's GPS still work with GPS-enabled apps (albiet without the cellular-assist)?
    Can any pay-as-you-go SIM card be purchased for and used in a deactivated iPhone4? Would this even be necessary for the GPS?
    Thanks again.

  • FB, Opera all work but will NOT d/l - NO DATA PLAN

    I got this phone second hand and so far Facebook, Viigo and Opera Mini all connect to the internet - and I don't have a data plan. The prob is that as soon as I try to download something through Opera (such as Google apps), it reverts back to the BB browser and gives this error msg:
    "Exceeded maximum redirect attempts to server: http//m.web2go.com/upsell/?msisdn=17132053775&cp=200"
    I had to download Opera to the PC first, but many apps don't have that option. Obviously something was done before I got the phone, but since I have some internet access, I'm reluctant to try anything unknowingly. 
    PLEASE let me know if theres is any other information I can provide that can be helpful, I'm just listing a few things here at random that I assume would be of use.
    --> When I go into my BB browser, a page comes up saying that I do not have web2go plan. The odd thing is that its lists several sites like Facebook ESPN and CNN to try to sell me a plan, but like I stated above, my FB app already works.
    --> APN: gprsinternet (wap.voicestream.com works too)
     APN username: t-mobile
     APN password: ** (unknown - was already entered)
    -->Default browser config: t-zones
     Default MDS browser config: Explorador de Internet (don't ask)
     Default WAP browser config: t-zones
    -->Service Book has SEVERAL entries, here are some:
    provisioning, WLM2.1, blackberry internet browsing service, BBFS2, WAP2, BBFS1, IPPP for BIBS, WAP2 BrowserConfig, WLM VPL, T-mobile USA WAP BrowserConfig
    **Before everyone starts telling me to be careful about my internet usage and how I could end up with a huge bill, I just want to say thanks but I'm already aware. I have something called Blackberry Feature Enabler, and that allows for unlimited data usage, which I have already verified is working through my online account.

    You must have a BlackBerry Data Plan to use the BlackBerry Facebook application.
    Until now, your previous owners Service Book was on the device, and it has kept sending the notifications.
    Do this on the device: Options > Security > Advanced > Menu key > Wipe Handheld and follow the prompts. This will clear your device of all the previous user's settings, messages, and data.

  • Does out.flush() work in a JSP page without buffering?

              All:
              I am using WLS 4.51 and have found that it is not possible to flush the contents
              of the ServletOutputStream. I have seen this behavior in JSPs and Servlets.
              What I am trying to achieve is a simple status message that is displayed on the
              client for a long running transaction.

    Hi.
    You can use JSTL perfectly in ADF. I don't share the opinion of Oracle not recommends... there are a lot of official pages saying how to use JSTL in ADF.
    <af:outputText value="#{fn:length(yourList)}"/>Yannick is saying that you can't mix lifecycles. Take care using $ or # operators :).
    For example if you are using a JSTL c:forEach. Next code is going to crash:
    <c:forEach var="..." value="${list}">
       <af:outputText value="#{list.item}"/>
    </c:forEach>Because # is evaluated in prepareModel phase and $ while rendering.
    I hope this help you.

  • Does the iPhone 4 have to be on a data plane

    I want to buy an iPhone 4 from virgan mobile but I don't want a data plan. I have an iPod touch 4th gen and I only use the Internet for Facebook.
    So would it be possible to get a normal talk and text plan for the iPhone 4 and NOT a data plan?????????

    Only Virgin Mobile would be able to answer that. Call them.
    Just be sure you turn off cellular data on your iPhone from working at all or else you could get some huge overage bills. Many apps will not work without the data plan including Visual Voice Mail, Maps (if you are not connected to WiFi), etc., so read the app requirements before buying.
    Personally if you don't want a data plan pass on a smartphone and get something much cheaper.

  • Is there a wi-fi capable phone that does not require a data plan.

    I would like to upgrade the 4th number of my family plan with a phone capable of doing apps.  My youngest son would love to play games with his phone and text and call.  But, a full fledged data plan would be overkill.  Which phone is app capable without data plan?  Help much appreciated

    You can upgrade your son's line to one of our Basic phones that do not require a data plan. With these phones your son can text, call, and also purchase games.
    Although they do not require a data plan we do recommend one if he will be accessing data when purchasing and downloading games and other applications. Without a data plan you will be billed $1.99 per megabyte used. 
    If he will be accessing data occasionally then I would recommend the $10.00 data plan which will allow him 75 MB per month. Click here to view other available data plans.

  • IPhone 3GS - Can I use existing US t-mobile SIM and German O2 SIM cards (for phone calls) without buying a data plan?

    I currently use 2 phones to make calls: one t-mobile locked phone for the US and one O2 locked phone for Germany, both without data plan.
    Can I upgrade using just one phone (factory unlocked iPhone 3GS)  and continue to use the existing SIM cards for phone calls (just switching the SIM cards when necessary), but use free WIFI spots worldwide for internet access/data transfer?
    Thanks Michael

    No supported carrier, including T-Mobile in the U.S., permits the use of an iPhone without a data plan. Though it's technically possible to do it, if and when they find you, they will either charge you for a data plan or shut down your account.

  • Instant Messaging Client that works without data plan

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knew of an instant messaging client that works without a data plan (ie. Wi-Fi only)?
    The native GTalk only works with a data plan and a multi protocol one like IMO.I'm only works with a data plan.
    Thanks,

    the "MSN Messenger" is now called "Windows Live Messenger", and will be retired by Microsoft before april 2013 (source: http://blogs.skype.com/en/2012/11/skypewlm.html ), and your current contacts will be merged with Skype.
    Unfortunately, there is currently no Skype client from Microsoft or from RIM released for BlackBerry devices. There are some third party softwares that enable you to benefit from Skype IM, but personally I have no reason to trust them and give them my credentials to skype/WLM.
    So for a long-time forecast, I do not encourage you to go through the WLM path.
    and about Google Talk, I do not know if using BIS is part of the requirements.
    my advice is to ask the carriers in your country if they have a small package voice+sms+BBm.

  • Stream 8 tablet location does not work on T-mobile broadband

    On my HP Stream 8 tablet, location works fine with GPS only (GNSS on; Mobile Broadband, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off).
    However, if I turn on Mobile Broadband and connect to T-Mobile and turn off GNSS (or GNSS on inside where there is no GPS signal) and keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off, the location gives very odd results.  Last week the map showed Phoenix as my location (I am actually located in San Francisco).  This week, it gives Brentwood or Clayton, CA, both more than 30 miles away.
    HP tech support said call T-Mobile.  T-Mobile said they had occasionally seen equally odd locations.
    I went to a nearby T-Mobile store.  They had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 which always gave a correct location, within 100 feet using T-Mobile alone.  Manually moving the map to a different location in an attempt to confuse it and turning it on and off, it would still find the correct location.  No surprise there, my three year old Virgin Mobile LG android cell phone does just as good a job at finding locations.
    (The T-mobile store also had an iPad Mini 3 that I was able to confuse.  On T-Mobile alone and clicking on My Location in maps, it produced a grid that was blank except for a line saying that it was unable to find a location, no info or link to what to do next.  The T-Mobile store did not have a Stream 8.  The Microsoft Store has a Stream 8 but it is not connected to Mobile Broadband.)
    Does anyone else have this problem?  Is my unit defective? There  are times that a GPS signal is unavailable and a T-mobile broadband signal is available, and it seems that this unit should be able to find a location at least as well as my cell phone.
    Thanks.

    I see the same basic results, wifi=off, bluetooth=off, gnss=off, t-mobile=on. Open win8.1 map-app shows my location in LA south of the 101/110 junction. I'm in SF Bay area near San Jose about 400 miles away. Turn on wifi and map-app shows me at my real address. With t-moile only, opened win8.1 IE, went to www.bing.com/maps location also shows LA.
    My only t-mobile account is the stream8 free 200mb/month data plan, don't think they have my real address anywhere. My t-mobile "phone" number is 720 area code in the Denver area. No idea why middle of LA is the t-mobile location. Must be a "feature, not a bug".
