How to download an app without a data plan?

Hi all.  My dad has a Blackberry Curve but no data plan.  He wants to download an app for his phone that autolocks it after the backlight dims.  I guess the way you'd typically download the app is you purchase it and they email a link to you to your Blackberry email but if you don't have email access on your phone, is there any other way to get the app on his phone?  Like, can he somehow download it to his regular desktop computer and then transfer it using Blackberry Desktop Manager?
Thanks in advance!

hello,
to install an application you can :
install it and download it from the web using the BlackBerry browser (requires data plan or Wi-Fi connection)
download the install file to a PC computer and use Desktop Manager's module "Applications" to install the application on the device through Desktop Manager (requires a PC with a USB cord)
use AppWorld (requires data plan)
first is made using a set of files which extensions end with jar/jad.
second is made using a set of files which extensions end with alx/cod.

  • How to download an app without having to key my password each time

    How do I set up my Iphone 5 so when I download and app or song I don't have to always enter my password? This is very annoying.

    You can't. This is done as a security measure, so doubtful it will ever change. If you make another purchase within 15 minutes, you won't have to re-enter the password, but that's it.

  • How to install the software without a data plan

    Hi,
    I just got the 8120 phone and did not buy the data plan. I tried to install the software and
    am stuck at the Integration Options page.
    I started with the Custom Setup -> and did not know what to remove because I do want the desktop and
    the ability to sync up my address book using the usb interface. That brings me to the Integration Options
    menu but I don't have any server to connect to or any Internet service to connect to. How do I move forward?
    Thanks,
    Sandhya

    I don;t have it in front of me at the moment but you can choose the typical or custom installation. You would choose the BlackBerry Internet Service I believe, then on the next screen you can choose your email client (if using Outlook , you would select Microsoft Exchange). After it's installed you can configure the synchronization options to sync when the device is connected to your computer.

    I would thin you just do what you did on your first machine.  If you getting rid of your  first machine you should you should lso sign our from the cloud desktop.   On your ne machine all you should need to do is install the cloud desktop application. Open it sign in to your ID with the subscription and install the products you do, Its the sign in the and account with a subscription the does the authenticating and activates products.

  • How to download fresh app from icloud

    Hi,
    I have some question.
    I would like to download an app which I have ever downloaded it (so app store force me to download from iCloud service)
    However, previous saved data also being downloaded together with the app.
    How can I download the app without downloading its previous data?
    Thanks in advance for all comment.
    Taiga.

    You would have to do some research to find an app that is specifically desiged to sync data with iCloud and provided a companion application that would run on your laptop.  As an example, if you have a Mac, you could use the Reminders app for this, as it supports iCloud syncing and is built into the latest version of OS X.

  • How to Download OVI apps on computer?

    How to download Ovi apps to computer and then transfer it to my phone?
    I dont have data plan and I dont get wifi at my work. I need to download apps on my phone?
    Please help me.

    My first experience with the OVI store: a few days ago.
    Result? Shocked that the only option was to download to phone.
    It's as if Nokia think we all have cheap data plans and internet on phones is as common as water.
    On top of that they ignore decades worth of PC networks. The personal computer is the centre of the digital universe, Nokia. Not some esoteric device nobody has or finds useful. There should absolutely be an option to download to PC. It's so obvious!
    The only reasons I can think for Nokia to insist on phone-only downloads is:
    1) tracking you more effectively by identifying your phone and other personal data
    2) reducing support costs on their staff  (no more "how do I put this on my phone?" questions from those downloading to computer first)
    It is truly bizarre the computer was ignored and not placed at the centre of their digital universe, but somehow this doesn't surprise me coming from Nokia.
    If there is an easy way of extracting the setup file from already-installed applications, giving more details to those users stuck with this extremely restrictive problem would be very helpful.
