Wifi without DataPlan is this possible on a 9810?

My wife and I have smartphones. I set mine up for Cell data (no data plan) and Wifi. So I can get internet services at home and work through routers, and at community centres and (we have kids) McDonalds.
I bought a 9810 to replace my wife's old 8310, hoping that she could get the same services as me, she loves Facebook. But without Data turned on, I can't use browse the Internet on her Torch. What am I doing wrong?
Older blackberries had different browsers for different services, but that was when I used them Corporately. The menu has changed so much; I have no idea what to look for now.

No, you don't need a data plan to surf via Wi-Fi on a BlackBerry, but you must have Data Service switched to ON.  You might also have issues with some sites with no BlackBerry data plan (aka BIS for BlackBerry Internet Service) but most should work okay.  If you have any issues, try using the Opera mini browser.  By the way, on the 9810, it'll select the appropriate browser for however you're surfing.
I hope that helps you.

  • Wifi without dataplan

    hello, i was using wifi without data plan. But now the problem is, it connects to wife but internet is not working. WIFI icon does not change to color, any suggestion? Also in browser there is only hotspot browser, no other options available.
    Best,

    Without a blackberry data plan, this won't work.  Give your carrier a call to get this added to your account.
    About the WiFi...  You may have to remove your WiFi profile and readd it.

  • Playing iPod through iTunes without syncing - is this possible?

    My iPod is sync'd with my laptop at home, but I would like to connect my iPod to my laptop at work and use it through iTunes. I don't want to sync them because I don't want to install 2,000 songs onto my work laptop. Is it possible to leave my iPod connected through USB and play the songs through iTunes? Currently when I try this all the songs display in my iTunes library but are greyed out and will not play.
    IBM Thinkpad   Windows XP  

    "Currently when I try this all the songs display in my iTunes library but are greyed out and will not play"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

  • CWA without password - is this possible?

    We have a request to set up CWA such that a guest user must enter personal details & accept the AUP, but is then granted access to the guest network without having to enter a password. Leaving aside the advisability of this approach (it's in a sandboxed demo environment), I can't see any way for CWA to work without a username and password for authentication; am I missing something?

    "authenticate via the ISE for single SSID BYOD"
    if you need to authenticate (or do differentiated access) you can't do pass-through.  you have to use credentials.
    For a pure guest portal you could embed the username and password in the HTML for the submit button.

  • TV Audio to TC (wifi) to iPhone, is this possible?  How do ya it?

    Why? I'm hearing impaired (that's what happens @ 65) and prefer to use equipment I have, the freedom to move about and the light weight earbuds.  Those TV audio aids are too cumbersome and stupped looking..
    It would be very convenient to plug the ear buds into my iPhone and hear TV.  Even better, if I could also adjust the iPhone volume to my personel preferance. ( to quote my wife IT"S TOO LOUD! )
    I been all over the Apple community, found one guy who asked the same question but got a bit arrogant, thustly he got nowhere. I've also searched the web and got nowhere.
    How about Tv to Bluetooth to iPhone?
    So I humbly ask... Help!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    No. You can redeem Gift cards directly in the Store Apps by tapping the "Redeem" button next to your Apple ID. Usually found at the bottom of the different tabs in the Store Apps.
    You can set your payment method to none.
    In fact that's what I do. I have no payment option set, and stick exclusively to gift cards.

  • 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?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    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.

  • I am getting old and looking forward to use I Pad as a Phone if possible through WIFI! I this possible? The screen is to small for me! If possible, with new I Watch taking calls, other uses through I Pad!

    Like I wrote on title, I am getting old and it is not easy to see E-mails, news etc. on a I phone! New I phone will not help me for the size.
    If possible, everything without calls, I would like to use I Pad as direct unit, and for calls through I Pad over WIFI all calls. If a call as Skype, I would like
    to use the I Pad as a monitor. Is this possible?
    I found on a side that there is a product for people for better hearing, which can be put into the ears, using WIFI with I Phone.
    If this product could be used also for I Pad as a Phone for hearing, and the I watch or I Pad as Microphone, it will be great for old Mac users.
    Is this possible with our system know?
    I am using Mac since Classic II! Would like to continue with the newest items with the possibility for old person with bad Eyes or Ears.
    Looking forward for a kind answer
    with regards
    Christian an old Mac user!

    Definitely No

  • Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending."  However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

    Hi,
    My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country).  Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound.  However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
    We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
    However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing.  How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
    If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
    I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot.  Is that true?  If so, how do I do that?
    Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    - Matt

    just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!
    apologies if i've broke any rules!

  • I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

    It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
    If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
    If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

  • My wife and I have seperate itune accounts, but want to merge them into one account or at least merge our seperate purchases into one library.  Is this possible?

    Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
    Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account?  Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library.  Is this possible, any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    "Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
    No.
    Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library.  Authorize the computer for both ids. 

  • I have some content in my library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    I have some music content in my itunes library that I do not want to sync with my ipod touch. The content has previously been synced and I want to remove it without deleting it from my itunes library. Is this possible?

    Hi Pez,
    iTunes in the Cloud is not iCloud. Any songs that you have purchased but have not downloaded (or have deleted), go to iTunes in the cloud. The setting I mentioned will show all of your purchases in the various views in the Music app, whether they are on your device or not. If you turn that setting off, you will only see items that are actually on your device.
    Glad to hear the second sync worked! But if they all start appearing again, make sure that setting is turned off
    Cheers,

    I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

    This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
    You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
    Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
    Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
    You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.
    Report back your findings.
