Keeping Z10 on Blackberry data plan (BIS) - APN settings?

I'm after a bit of help with regards to Blackberry data services.
I have had a few Blackberrys over the last 5 years or so and they have all had my unlimited data with them.
I recently got the Z10 to use on my existing contract with O2, however I have just had my first bill and I've been stung for data usage.
I've not had much luck with anyone helpful at O2 so I'm hoping somewhere here can help.
I am after knowing what the APN settings are I should put into my Z10 so thatI can continue to use my unlimited data plan from Blackberry rather than having to change my tariff with O2 to use one of their inferior plans.
I've spent hour searching for what to put into the APN settings but I'm just going round in circles

BB10 phones do not use BIS like legacy devices do. The days of compressed data on a BlackBerry are quickly coming to an end.
You'll just have to grab another data plan and grin and bear it like we do.

Twitter & Facebook Dosnt work with my full blackberry data plan .. ?

Hi Guys,
I buy new Blackberry Curve 9360,
Facebook & twitter applications Dosn't work in my Device,
" you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application, please contact to wifi network or contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan" this message show up, I am using a full plan
How can these apps work with 3G & EDGE ?
they work with wifi but not on mobile network
Thanjs

If you BIS service status is "Not Connected", I certainly wouldn't be able to send you a PIN message.
I recommend you call your mobile provider and ask if your plan has been removed from your account or something, because it isn't working, and isn't connected.
YOU can try these things:
1) Register HRT:     (OS5) Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scoll to any line entry and > press the Menu key > and then click Register Now.
2) Resend Service Books:   KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

If I upgrade to a new device, will I be able to keep my current unlimited data plan?

I've been eligible for an upgrade since July 2011 but I've been waiting to see what Verizon has that really makes me want to change from my Droid X. But so far, that's been nothing. I would like to know, however, when I do decide to upgrade will I be able to keep my unlimited data plan? If so, how?

Talking from personal experience, yes and no. Verizon will allow you to retain your unlimited data plan on some devices, but not others. I went from a Droid X to a Rezound. Before I did the switch, I noticed where they said that the Rezound did not support my plan. I know, it's stupid, but that's the way it went. So I called customer service and they told me that I could keep my unlimited data. However, when I got their receipt notification, I noticed that I was on the 2GB plan for $30. I have a family plan, and made my Droid X the second phone. This retained the unlimited plan. So, I have a Rezound with 2GB and a Droid X with unlimited GB. By the way, I should mention that I swapped out the Rezound, which I did not like, to the LG Spectrum but retained the 2GB data plan and did not go back to unlimited.

Blackberry Data Plan $$

Does anyone know if there are any additional costs - in addition to the standard $39.99 for the data plan if I switch an old LG pretty basic phone to a BlackBerry Curve 8530 from eBay??

You would need to add the $30 2 GB data plan to activate the Blackberry on your account. 2 GB on the BB should be more than sufficient - I use less than 100 MB on mine. Have fun with your new BB!

Blackberry Data Plan Options

Can I get a $10 data plan if I reactivate my blackberry or do I have to carry a $30 data plan?

Do you have the Social Messaging Ready Curve 9330? That is the only smartphone that can use the $10/75MB plan.

How to keep the Unlimited verizon data plan when upgrading to iphone 4s?

How can I keep my unlimited data plan when upgrading to a IPHONE 4s???
I tried everything!!! I have an apple giftcard so I want to use it through apple.com but It wont let me keep my unlimited data plan

The terms of your data/phone plan are solely determined by your carrier, in this case Verizon. It is up to them if they wish to allow consumers to carry over the existing terms of their plan. Hence, the thing you need to do is contact Verizon customer service and ask them to carry your terms over with your upgrade. I'm hoping if you ask nicely they may do it.
Hope this helps

How long can I keep my Alltel unlimited data plan and my 12 my circle numbers?

I started with Alltel back in the day and got a couple smart phones with them on their plan that let you have the unlimited data and 500 minutes but we accumulated 12 of the free "my circle" numbers before Verizon took over. Somehow over the years I have done numerous upgrades (last one being in November I think with my iPhone 5) and the other phone on my account has gone through several upgrades as well, and we have always managed to keep the Alltel plan including unlimited data and our free 12 my circles. I was thinking of upgrading again since my other line is coming up for renewal soon, but when I asked if I would have to change my plan, the rep said that I would and that it was a fluke that I was able to upgrade to the iPhone 5 without changing. I live where there is no internet access other than Verizon so I use my hotspot every day for regular internet use on my CPU and use over 11GB a month and sometimes 15GB but I need to get a new phone for the other line. There is nothing Verizon offers that is as cheap as my plan (about $140 after taxes for both phones, and unlimited data) so before I go and buy a new phone at $600+ I am trying to figure out how I have managed to upgrade all these years and keep my plan, but will not be able to now? and if I can't keep my Alltel plan (Which again is strange considering I just got an iPhone 5 and it is going fine with the Alltel plan) if they will force me one day to change even if I buy my own phone? It is VERY confusing talking to verizon reps as I have tried in the store and via telephone and nobody really has a straight answer.
If I buy an expensive phone out of pocket now without upgrading and renewing my contract and put it on my number, will I always be able to keep Alltel's plan as I have in the past, or will they change it? Has anyone else kept Alltel and have you had any problems upgrading or adding your own phone? Thank you.

You will be able to keep the plan, however you will lose your unlimited data if you get a subsidized phone.
Now if are talking to a rep at a 3rd party reseller, they may be forced to change your plan.

Webmail without data plans

Just picked up a curve (aka 'learning curve' hehe) and I am having a hard time trying to configure for webmail . I do not have the 'configure internet email' option on the phone, only the enterprise server option. After reading way too many websites my impression is this function is controlled by the service provider. If you do not have BIS or some kind of BB data plan then you cannot use web based email thru the BB email function (you can check webmail thru a browser if you really want to be uber-frustrated). I found one post that alluded to this way back in 2009 or something. Can someone confirm this is still the case in 2013? This would save me and possible thousands of others looking for the same thing. If you have a data plan then this function would be available.
Let's hope 10 is way more user friendly!
Cheers.

Hi dimwit
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
Still now if you want to use Personal Email Services you need a BlackBerry Data Plan / BIS on your account .Most application works over WIFI without an active BIS but a few like BBM, Email services require a BlackBerry Data Plan.

Unable to use my Blackberry Tour in the UK even WITH Global data plan

Hi,
I just flew into the UK and was disappointed to see that my phone service or data service is not enabled.
Prior to flying in(10-12 hours ago) I called Verizon customer service, and validated that I had a Global Blackberry Data Plan, and the customer service rep assured me that my phone will work without any issues once I get into the UK. So I didn't bother taking my "other" older AT&T phone(which I keep just in case) with me.
Now I'm stuck here for 3 weeks without any phone or data service! It's pretty crippling..and the best part is, I'll be charged as per my monthly plan regardless, when I get back.
Any help or suggestions?

I have provided some information below, that may be helpful in using your Blackberry Tour in the U.K.
After steps 1 and 2 below, if you are still receiving a red SOS symbol in the upper right hand corner of the device (your SIM card is either missing out of the device, or it has not been activated on the billing side).
**The steps below are assuming the SIM card and Global plan were already activated.
Step 1. – Ensure your device is set to Global or GSM (I have provided a link below on checking this setting)
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=24732&p=null
***If it is on Global already, ensure the “Data Services” section are “ON” and select GSM as the Network Technology (3g and 2g is preferred)
***Please note*** you will need to switch it back to Global once you are back in the United States.
Step 2. Try power cycling the mobile network (I have provided a link below)
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=24687&p=null
**leave the network off for 15-20 seconds and turn it back on.
Step 3. Try a soft reset - Remove the battery off of the device and leave it out for at least 2 minutes. Place the battery back in and wait for the device to fully boot up (it may take 2-5 minutes for the device to fully boot)
Lastly, if you are still getting the SOS symbol in red, you can check to see if your device has a SIM card by doing the following:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=30045&p=null
**Use the via device option (if it has an 893144***** number then your SIM card is in the device).
I hope this helps.

Do i need a Blackberry SIM (Data plan to get connected)

Hello, i have recently purchased a blackberry playbook 32GB.
i have below queries.
1. Do i need to have a BB data plan to get connected..even for the first time or may be later too.
2. Can a micro SIM with normal 2G or 3G data plan work on it say from AIRTEL or VODAFONE.
3. I tried connecting my Nokia E6 as a WIFI hotspot (using JOKU) , but playbook does not detect so..however it detects all other WIFI spots say from SAMSUNG phone.
4. Finaly i got connected with WIFI hotspot provided by SAMSUNG phone and was able to register. But that may not be always available with me. Thats where my second/third question is important.
5. After getting connected as in point 4, software upgrade was in process which was interupted owing to low internet speed. (being EDGE n/w). i am sure after S/W update i shall be able to use it for other purpose.
6. Even if i get a BLACKberry data plan micro SIM, will it work on NON BB smart phones?
7. I am new to BLACKBERRY, please help me.

My first guess is that you bought a former Sprint (US) Playbook, which might not be operable in India.
I just don't know. You might try to return it to your eBay seller and get your money back and purchase a known working device.
Does it connect to WiFi?

Switching phones--why can't I keep the same data plan?

I am on a family plan with three phones on it, two of which are Android phones. The third line, currently suspended by me, is on an LG Env3. Before the data plans changed, I added the unlimited data to the phone for $29.99. I reactivated the line to verify the data plan shows on it, and then suspended the phone again.
I want to use this extra line as a house phone, and I have an HTC Eris I'd like to use. Since it's a smart phone, I know I have to have a data package, which is already attached to the line. When I got on-line and tried to reactivate the line, changing it to the Eris, a window popped up telling me I have to switch to one of the new data plans.
Anyone have any idea why it is doing this? I changed from the Eris to a Thunderbolt on one of the other lines two weeks ago, and had no problem keeping the unlimited $29.99 plan.
If I call customer service and do it with a rep, will I be able to keep the $29.99 data plan?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
(Originally posted in wrong forum)

LG Env3 is not a smartphone. The feature phone unlimited data plan is coded differently than the smartphone unlimited data plan. If you change that line to a smartphone (like a Droid Eris) you have to select from the currently available data plan options.
As long as you keep a feature phone on that line you can keep the grandfathered feature phone unlimited data plan.

Can't keep old data plan?

My daughters droid "smart" phone died so we put her number on an older "dumb" phone we had from previous upgrades until she can afford to buy a new smartphone. While talking to customer service I was told that she can't keep her old unlimited data plan when she gets her new phone that she has to switch to 2G plan. I don't understand why this is since had her phone not died she would still have the unlimited plan. Why?

Good afternoon and thank you for all of your replies. This is a really good question, and I will gladly clarify the answer, as there seems to be a lot of different responses.
You are able to change back the unlimited data plan from a non-Smartphone within 14 days of removing it. Once the 14 days have passed, there is no way to go back to the unlimited data and you will have to choose from our current pricing. Therefore, if your daughter will be replacing her Smartphone within 14 days, she will be able to have the unlimited data plan.
I trust this information is helpful.
Thank you,

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.

Register with BES server without Enterprise data plan

I read on this forum that there is a few ways to register with your company's BES even if you have the standard 29.99 data plan. The limitation is that you have to be connected to your company's lan, and perform the registration while on the lan.
In order to register remotely, you must purchase the 44.99 enterprise data plan, which I do not want to do.
Both verizon support and my helpdesk is telling me they can't do it, but I found instructions on this. Can it be done? Am I missing something?
http://support.opt3.com/KB/a45/activate-blackberry-using-blackberry-enterprise-server.aspx

Hi,
To answer your question, it can not be done unless you have the BES plan added to your account, which is currently $44.99/month. If I read the article you mentioned in your post correctly, it states the following:
Note: BlackBerry smartphones cannot be activated over the wireless network or the organization's Wi-Fi® network if they have a data plan for BlackBerry Internet Service only.
I read that as if you have a Blackberry that is currently on a data plan (BIS), the regular individual data plan, you can not activate your device. Hope this helps,
Doc
