E-mail through WiFi without BIS?

I'm considering the purchase of a Blackberry and I'd like to know if it's possible to use e-mail through the WiFi capabilities in some of the Blackberry phones without having to subscribe to the Blackberry Internet Service. I use Outlook for work and would like to be able to send/receive when in a WiFi zone. Is this possible?

I cannot use WiFi to access my Outlook e-mail without subscribing to BIS?
Correct, you need the BIS account to access the Outlook
The only way to check this e-mail is to use some sort of web-portal through the broser while on WiFi?
Correct too. 
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.

  • Can i use blackberry builtin email client with wifi without BIS or BES

    Hello everyone, I am using blackberry 9300 curve 3G. is it possible to use blackberry builtin email client through wifi without having the Blackberry services (BIS or BES)? i want to use my official email id (POP3 and smtp) on it. if possible please share the method..
    Thanks in advance

    Not that I know of.  You have to have a blackberry data plan in order to use the built in email.  After that, you can use WiFi only.

  • Unable to send or receive mail through wifi

    Hi all
    I am on my schools wifi network and I an unable to send or receive any mails through this network. I am able to browse the net on this network but this mail app is giving some problems. These mails work absolutely fine on edge or my home wifi but not the this skool network.
    Any one please help.

    Try to set up a new account on your phone, put in all the info needed and see if it works. If not, talk to your network administrator to see if you need to set up any security settings that you don't need using your home network.

    Airplane mode disables all the radios (cellular, wi-fi, bluetooth), but once airplane mode is enabled, you can then turn on wi-fi and use available wi-fi networks without worrying about inadvertently using your mobile data, as SuzyQ stated.

  • How to get my mail through without opening the mail app...

    Hi
    I have a tendancy to when ive finished using with my apps on my Mac I always go to top left and press quit itunes or quit mail etc
    if i do that to mail, obviously when a email comes through i dont get it straight through unless the mail program is open (like on my iphone, if an email comes it just comes straight through)
    what im asking is, is there a way for me to get my mail through straight away whilst the mail program is open? - thing is I like things tidy and dont like all these programs left open
    also what is the point of the red X in the top left corner?, if im on a website on safari and I press the X, safari is still open isnt it, but if i click back onto safari to re open the app it just goes to the homepage
    so really what is pressing the red X on the top left and quitting the app altogether, what is the difference?

    Mail has to be open to receive the new mail notification.
    Clicking the red x button just closes the window, does not quit the application.
    To quit the application, you have to select "Quit......" from the application menu.
    When an application is open, a white light indicator will be shown under the application icon in the Dock.

  • Facebook not logging in through wifi

    Hi this is pavan, mine is curve9380. When I had a data plan through my carrier, I had accessed all applications. But when my data plan ended and want to connect through my home wifi modem, I can access every application except facebook. It prompts for username and password and when I entered them it sticks to contacting facebook server screen and after that displays" you are not currently on a service plan..blah blah". Even I'm getting mails that I had logged into facebook through blackberry phone. Hope have a solution to access through wifi. Thanks.

    Access to the facebook app requires BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service).  That's the only way to get updates pushed to your phone.  Without BIS, your phone has no way of getting those updates and therefore the facebook app will not work.
    I'm not sure how your other apps are getting updates pushed to them.  You can still access the facebook website with Wi-Fi but not the app.
    That's the way it works.  You must be leaving out or adding some info if you're getting pushed updates to ANY apps without BIS.
    I hope that helps you.

    How to use internet and whatsapp and Blackberry messenger only through wifi ?
    Please Help 

    Some carriers require a BlackBerry data plan even to use the browser on wifi. I have seen where it even depends on the OS version as to whether the browser will work on wifi without a SIM installed. That sounds like your situation.
    If you have paid for BIS, talk to your carrier and make sure it is setup properly on your line.

  • How to Enable MMS without BIS

    How to enable MMS without BIS
    This guide is for you if:
    you have an BlackBBerry OS 7 device on a regular (non-BIS) data plan
      and
      2. you cannot send MMS (multimedia) messages.
    Getting MMS working requires you to split, hex edit, merge and install service books, so read through the instructions and decide whether you’re up to it. I’ve attempted to explain everything as clearly as possible, but it’s a complex process and requires you to follow instructions carefully.
    It's worth asking your carrier if they can just enable MMS for you. If they can and will, you don't need this guide.
    Notes:
    The process described here may also work on earlier devices with OS 4, 5, and 6, but I don’t have those devices to test.
    Many carriers require you to have a data plan in order to send MMS messages. If you don’t have one, this guide may not help you.
    Depending on your cellular plan, sending MMS messages may involve extra charges.
    Preparation: Before You Get Started
    Software
    First, you need some tools to do the work. Download and install these three programs on your computer:
    MagicBerry 3.5 (here)
    A Hex editor (I like HxD, here)
    BlackBerry Desktop (link)
    Service Books
    You will also need a copy of the service books attached to post #1 in this thread over at CrackBerry. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a location of your choice.
    MMS Configuration Information
    Once you have the tools and service books, you need to get the MMS configuration information from your cellular carrier.
    Specifically, you need three settings: MMS Proxy, MMSC, and APN. Search on Google for something like, “MMS settings for [insert your cellular carrier’s name here]” and you should find them. Note that you also need the port number for the MMS Proxy. It should be there on the settings page.
    Note: if the port number for your MMS Proxy is in the 9000s, this process probably won’t work, since your cell carrier may be using the older WAP 1.2 specification. If anyone runs across this, let me know, and I’ll try to help you out.
    A Note on MagicBerry
    MagicBerry is an .ipd file editor. Service books, like the ones responsible for MMS, are .ipd files. The logical conclusion would be that you could edit service books with MagicBerry. But MagicBerry only shows you certain pre-set fields within the .ipd file. As a result, you can't see or edit a lot of the information in the service book. Even worse, if you do edit a service book file with MagicBerry, that unseen information is not saved, so you end up deleting it and rendering the service book useless.
    MagicBerry does have good uses, though: it splits and merges service book files perfectly. In fact, it is the best tool for splitting and merging service books, which is why you downloaded a copy.
    Due to MagicBerry’s limitations, you’re going to edit the files with the hex editor.
    Let’s get started!
    The MMS How-to Guide
    Step 1: Split the .ipd Files
    Start MagicBerry, click File > Open, and open the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
    Click Manipulate > Split.
    Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
    Press “Split Selected,” enter a file name (and select a directory, so you know where the file is being saved), and press “Save.” Name the file “MMS_Config_20” so that you easily recognize it.
    Note: there are "MMS Config" and "MMS Config 2.0" service books in the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file. Make sure you select the 2.0 version.
    Step 2: Hex Edit the MMS Config 2.0 File
    Now, start your hex editor and open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file. It will look like this, without the highlights and bolding. I’ve added those so that it will be easier to provide instructions on editing.
    Hex Editing Basics
    In the HEX editor, the blue numbers don’t matter to you (they’re just column and row labels). Only the black ones are part of the file.
    The bytes (the two-character pairs) on the left side are all numbers, expressed in hexadecimal or “base-16”. The same information is expressed in ANSI characters on the right side.
    The basics of hexadecimal numbering are that you count as follows:
    Base-16 (hexadecimal):  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9  A  B  C   D  E  F  10
    Base-10 (decimal):         1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
    So in the two-character byte pair, 0D = 13, 1F = 31, 50 = 80, etc. If you can figure out those conversions, you’re good. If not, google hexadecimal numbering, and spend some time at a lesson. You need to understand how hex works to do this. There are also decimal to hexadecimal converters online. Use them to check your work, or to do the conversion work for you.
    You can edit the file from either side of the hex editor. As you edit the information on one side, you’ll see it automatically changing on the other as well.
    It’s easier to edit the information in the green, turquoise, and red fields on the right side.
    The information in the grey, yellow, and pink fields must be edited from the left (hex) side, because it’s the hex value that matters, and it shows up as periods or jibberish on the right side. All those “dots” on the right side are not identical when you look over at the left side. They’re actually very different values. The nonsensical letters on the right side are likewise meaningful values on the left side.
    It’s not a bad idea to just spend some time playing around in the hex editor before you move on. When you’re done, close the file without saving it, and the changes you make while experimenting won’t be made permanent.
    Editing the File
    The green blocks: enter your MMS proxy in each one, with the port number following the colon. Add to or delete bytes from the highlighted field if necessary, but whatever you do, do not write over or delete bytes outside the highlighted field! Those bytes contain necessary information, and if they are not there, the service book will not work. The same rule holds true for all of the other edits. You must stay within the highlighted fields. To delete bytes, just press delete. To insert bytes, position the cursor, and go to Edit > Insert Bytes on the menu bar, and choose the number of bytes to insert. If you’re using HxD hex editor, ctrl-z will undo a mistake. It also makes your changes in red, which makes them a little easier to follow. As with all programming, the work has to be perfect. There can be no mistakes. Check everything you do carefully.
    The turquoise block: enter the MMSC address here.
    The red block: enter your APN here.
    The yellow blocks: total number of bytes in the highlighted green, turquoise, or red range that follows. Adjust it when you’ve finished editing. The number must be expressed in HEX of course. Use a decimal to hexadecimal converter online if you prefer that.
    The pink blocks: the total number of bytes in the bolded range that follow (again, in hex). Adjust it when you’re finished editing the field.
    The grey block: a count of the total number of bytes that follow it. In the original file, the value is 30 01 00 00, which breaks down as: 30(hex)=48 01(hex)=256. The total (48+256) is 304. If the number of bytes following the grey block was less than 256, there would be no 01 in the second place. For example, if there were 226 bytes following the block, the grey block would look like this: E2 00 00 00. When you are finished editing the entire file, go back and adjust the number in the grey block accordingly.
    Once you’re done, save the file.
    Step 3: Merge the MMS Config 2.0 and Wap Push Config Service Books
    Open the “MMS_Config_20.ipd” file in MagicBerry
    Once you’ve opened the file, click Manipulate > Merge.
    Tick the box for the MMS Config 2.0 file.
    On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots.
    Choose the tmo_servicebooks.ipd file.
    Tick only the box for the “Wap Push Config” service book.
    Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
    Close MagicBerry
    Step 4: Backup Your Phone
    This is mandatory. You’ll need the backup file for step 6.
    You need to have BlackBerry Desktop installed on your computer. If you haven’t done that yet, do it.
    Connect your BlackBerry device to your computer with a USB cable. If BlackBerry Desktop does not start automatically, start it.
    Do a backup. Just hit “Back up now” and follow the prompts. Do a full backup. Once you’re done, go to step 5.
    Step 5: Merge the combined MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config service book file with your existing service books
    Open MagicBerry
    Press File > Open and at the bottom of the Open dialogue window beside the File name box, change “IPD Files (.ipd)” to “BBB Files (.bbb)”. Navigate to the folder where you stored your backup, and open it. It might take a while to open.
    Click Manipulate > Merge.
    Go down the list on the left hand side and tick the checkboxes for the service book entries (they will be way down). If there are service books listed for MMS Config or Wap Push Config, uncheck those boxes.
    On the right side of the “Merge” window, where it says, “Choose second IPD file,” press the button with the three dots. Choose your merged MMS Config 2.0/Wap Push Config file.
    Press “Merge Selected,” enter a file name (and select the directory if necessary), and press “Save.”
    Optional: You can merge the newly created file again with any other service books you may need – such as the Anworm service books for the browser mentioned in my thread on CrackBerry. Just follow the process used in step 3.
    Step 6: Install the Service Books to your phone:
    Connect your BlackBerry to your computer with a USB cable if it isn’t still connected.
    On your BlackBerry, go to Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Service Book
    Hold down the “Alt” key and press S B E B. You should see a message that says, “Legacy SB Restore Enabled.” Press Okay.
    On your computer, open BlackBerry Desktop.
    Go to Device > Restore.
    Press “Change” and navigate to the folder with the merged .ipd file you created. Press “OK.” You should now see the file listed in the Restore window.
    Click on the merged .ipd file you created to select it.
    Under the heading “Select Data to Restore,” select “Select Device Data and Settings” and then tick the box for “Service Book.” This step is really important. Make sure it's done right. If you screw it up you could end up wiping a lot of settings and data.
    Press “Restore” and answer “Yes” to the confirmation dialogue.
    Close the BlackBerry Desktop software, disconnect your device, and do a battery pull to reboot.
    Voila! If everything went well, you should have MMS capabilities. Test your ability to send and receive multimedia by sending yourself a picture message. You should receive the message within about 10 seconds.
    If it doesn’t work, go back and make sure EVERYTHING in the file is done perfectly. If you find a problem, fix it, merge the files again, and reinstall the service books.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Why not just ask carrier to enable MMS? I know T-Mobile can and will do it, even if there is no data plan at all on the line. We did it for my daughter and I know T-Mobile has done it for others. I assume other carriers do the same, but don't know....Which is why I ask.

  • Is it possible to operate without BIS - in particular GMail and app world?

    Hi there!
    I have had a BB Curve 3G 9300 for one week; I'm in the UK, and I acquired it together with a T-Mobile contract, at a Phones4U shop in London.  Before agreeing to buy the BB, and the contract, I went through a whole load of things that I wanted to be able to do, with the salesman, and was assured that they were all possible at no extra cost beyond the contract.
    Now the thing is that this contract includes T-Mobile unlimited internet, but does not include the T-Mobile "Blackberry Booster" - which I believe is T-Mobile's terminology for BIS.
    After checking with a nice lady at T-Mobile, I didn't think that should be a problem, because she said that the Blackberry Booster is only needed for Blackberry's push email system, and Blackberry Messenger, neither of which I want.
    Since then, however, I've been periodically having trouble with the GMail app (saying "This application requires a working data connection") and BB App World (with a similar message about not being able to connect to the server).  This isn't the case all the time --- sometimes both of those work fine.  But they fail (as described) around 40% of the time, and obviously that's enough to mean that I just can't rely on them.
    So I just called T-Mobile again, and this time I was told that this was caused by not having the Blackberry Booster.  The person I spoke to claimed that Blackberry have the power to prevent my apps from working (in the way I've described) and that they periodically scan BB handsets and disconnect people like me who aren't paying for the Booster/BIS.
    So now I'm wondering if this is really true, and - in other words - that it is effectively impossible to use a BB properly without the Booster/BIS.  If you are sure you know about this, please reply to help me out!
    I should add that you can find stuff about the GMail problem all over the web, with many different solutions proposed.  But most of the hits are old, and my impression is that none of the solutions are definitive.  I've also tried most of the suggestions, and they haven't helped.  (The only significant one I haven't tried yet is the one about redownloading Service Books, because I don't understand it, and because it sounds like it's related to having BIS.)
    Many thanks in advance for all help that you can offer!
               Neil
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi there Neil,
    That is correct.  In order to use BlackBerry App World and other apps such as GMail, Facebook and Twitter, you need a BlackBerry data package and access to BIS.  Without BIS access, these apps will not work correctly, although you can access GMail online via your browser and you can manually download apps via your computer.
    I hope this info helps!

    If you have problems with all third party apps not opening, try downloading another app - any free app is fine.
    If that doesn't work, reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
