If you did hypothetically actually want help from one of us, it might actually help if you...
- say who your service provider is
- say whether you got the BB from them or from someone else.
If you do not have a blackberry plan, it doesn't matter who your carrier is, the Internet and all other data functions on your blackberry will not work. The blackberry requires specific blackberry data plans to work as it must communicate with servers run by RIM to work.
not true, an unlocked blackberry still requires a connection to the RIM server for the internet browser, email and other data features to work, and iPhone plan does not offer that so no, what the OP wants to do will not work.
Yeah, now that I think about it, you're right. I think even the browser requires the RIM server access, because the RIM browser recompiles pages for the browser on the server side. You can use the phone features without a BB plan, and in principle, if you install third party apps that use the APN (some apps require you to put in an APN, such as wap.voicestream.com for T-Mobile), those apps would work without the BB plan also. But that's it.
Of course, the OP seems to have wandered off...
