If you have a Blackberry phone you have asked this question at least once (maybe thousand times). The BlackBerry phone comes with many fancy add-ons, they have an eye-candy look but there is one problem with them. You have to purchase a data plan for internet access. (As far as GSM services tell) This sounded little weird for me because I could access internet even with my old nokia. The trick is GSM services push you to buy a data plan and BlackBerry also doesn't give information for internet access without data plan, but the phone is capable of accessing internet without a data plan.
I own a BlackBerry Pearl (so the details will be told for Pearl but I guess it applies to most of the models) and I am using internet with my Pearl without paying for data plan. To do this you have to make some settings with your phone. First of all you have to set up your tcp settings. In your BlackBerry menu go to => Options - Advanced Options - TCP and enter your APN information for your GSM Service. You can find TCP APN settings in the list below.
When you finish the settings you need a browser to surf the net. The best one is Opera Mini Browser. You download the Opera Browser to your BlackBerry and in the Opera Browser menu you go through automatic network setup. Once the Opera Browser finds out your settings you are ready to surf the net from you BlackBerry for free. (Excluding standart connection charges from your GSM service provider)

i have blackberry pearl unlocked al jawal sim how do i know the apn username
apn password can you help me.
thank you
deborah ghazzawi
I have more of a question than a comment. My Blackberry 8100 does not have a browser icon nor will it let me change the default browser as written in the User's Guide. Does anyone know how I can either access this icon or change the browser so I can download the Opera Mini Browser to my phone. I love this phone, it is easy to use but I don't need the Blackberry connection plan. Please help.
7764 for downloading opera mini you should check the link I have in the article for Opera Mini Browser. Download the Opera Mini Browser to your computer and then upload the opera browser to your Blackberry by using the USB connection and the Blackberry Software. Then you have the Opera Browser icon and you can use Opera for surfing internet once you've done the settings.
Thank you very much. That worked. Just trying to get the settings worked out now. When dialing up Opera the number just rings and never connects. I appreciate your assistance,
In addition, there are several third party software applications that are free to download. My favortite is BBLight...software to set light preferences that are not included in the normal BlackBerry set up.
tech_support is telling you this so you don't cheat his company out of the ridiculous $40 a month data plan don't listen to him
What about the BlackBerry Pearl from Sprint? The network is CDMA, and hence there are none of those settings mentioned.
Ok iv tried this for cincinnati bell and it doesnt work..
What could i be doing wrong?
Hi:
I have a bb 8100, with Tmobile, I had changed the TCP setting, but don't know how to get to
WAP Gateway IP setting? Can anyone help?
Thanks
I have 7310g. will the Opera mini browser work for this also.
If you have a data plan, can you configure a Blackberry to act as data modem for your computer using Bluetooth or a USB connection?
johnr54 - yes you can but you'll likely be charged or warned by your mobile provider because of the increase and high data usage. Look up their policy on "tethering." Some providers will allow you to tether for a price, but you may be able to get around it if you're careful. Just google tethering.
Unfortunatelly, it did not work for Rogers Canada ... you still have to buy a data plan ... any extra suggestions???
Excellent worked perfect for me 1st try.
i have an 8700g from t-mobile, dont the wap.voicestream.com and opera mini, but still it shows "failed to connect to the internet",,,HELP!
communications:
aim is hungalmighty and email is hungallmighty007@yahoo.com
I have the same problem as S.Pine.
I have a BB Curve with T-Mobile and my OM browser can't connect to the internet. I found the TCP settings but I can't change the Wap Gateway IP & Port. Can anyone explain how to adjust these?
I'm not sure I would save anything. As you wrote on the very last line: "Exluding standard connection charges from your GSM Service provider." Isn't that my data plan that I'm paying $29.99 a month for, which Includes unlimited Internet Access?
by doing this to your phone since if you dont have a dataplan you cant berry messenger people will it allow you to berry messenger people if you do this hack ?
Looks great, but you don't mention anything about telus mobility in Canada
I am trying to activate my 8300 unlocked BB with Movistar in Mexico, but found this is not an easy issue with them. I already place the APN, internet.movistar.mx but is asking me for user and password and wish ti figure out which could be? I already tried with movistar but do not work.
i cant do it! i have the new blackberry curve for at&t and i dont want to pay all that money for internt i tried to do the steps but i can't figure it out i get to the page of TCP and ARN setting and i dont konw what to set it to it's already on ...
wap.cingular blah blah then i change it to isp. cingular and the ARN and changed the password and then tired to download the opera mini but it wont work
what can i do?
i have a blackberry 7100g i am living in jamaica and the name of main GPRS servis provideris is Digicell can some one give some help on how to get my black berry to work with their services without pay for the services plan. i want to be able to browse the web using their wap services as well.
S.Pine and SylV makes a good point, there is still no way to add the proxy on the Curves!! and I'm running OS 4.5
So this is pretty much useless, until maybe in the later OS they have a option to add the proxy.
This isn't *free* browsing, this is paying the data rates for a non-plan use, which is probably triple what you would pay if you actually had a plan. DUMB.
GOod info - plus I learned something new here, "I work for a service provider, and your device will work without a data plan but you will get charged for usage." That's intersting!
Good information! It is helpful!
Which one from the list do i pick if i have AT&T?
how can i bypass my isp billing.i mean using my cdma phone connected to pc without paying
what info do i put into my pearl if verizon doesnt require an APN?
How can I find the apn, user and password from Claro Argentina?
Somebody can help me!, thanks
i pay for data with telecom italia, but if i cancel it, they suspend my BIS account. also, the blackberry plan is 7 euro and they tell me to use blackberry.net as the APN. if i pay for the 9gig internet plan (29 euro) they provide me with ibox.tim.it and i can use 3rd party apps. now, while paying for the 7 euro plan i can use ibox.tim.it but will it charge me?
how do i download opera mini browser and then transfer it to my blackberry?

This is not about having a data plan or not. This is about using the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) or using the normal/plain/standard GPRS (EDGE, 3G) accesspoints. Operators usually charge about double for BIS based data transfer and plans. For example I have a somwhat expensive and small plan (about enough for mobile browsing and mailing), that costs 8EUR/month/100MB. The BIS costs 7EURs and either you pay for the download (0.017EUR/10kB) or you buy a data plan. Yes, you buy the same data plan that you could just simply use without using the BIS but you pay for the BIS as well. There's no point in using it, use plain TCP. It might have bean reasonable 10 years ago when the standard solutions might have not been supported in the US/Canada (I don't know), but nowadays it's just having the customer pay more for the sake of paying more.
Basically you pay for letting them use the software on your phone (built in browser, built in e-mail client), and this is ridiculous.

Verizon told me that I can't use my blackberry without paying the 30 dollars for the internet? Is that true or is there a way around it?
It seems like this option has been banned, I tried to access from USA carrier Sprint, with a regular cheap data plan and they told me it was impossible. As comments from 3 weeks ago, it seems other carriers are doing the same. Too bad...

How are the other Ma Bell users tapping in?

ive got a bb pearl 8210 on orange an am findings it imposible to get the internet settings sent to my phone, just wondering if anyone can send me some info to my e-mail address. thanx
Hi!I have an old 7290 blackberry.I am using orange Romania.somebody could tell me the apn/username/password for wap??thx.:)
Lovely! I am on Warid, Pakistan. I have always thought of a possibility of using the internet without paying extra to mobile operators... one thing that i have observed in here is that most of the bloggers arent having any data plan activated on their SIMs as in for normal phones... so people who have got BB without data plan must activate the GPRS/EDGE servises for say; SE P990i and then insert the sim in their blackberry devices and enter in the APN / Username / Password to enjoy.. bear in mind, normal data rated will be applied to you. anyhow, thanks Bloggerdollar :)

So this will not cost anything at all? no data charges or anything?
I wouldn't try it, im sure it costs alot!
This costs standard data connection fees that you would pay with another phone. This costs much less than Blackberry data package. You only pay a certain fee per kb.

Dear Sir, I have a BB 8320 with WI Fi. It seems I have not other choice other than using Cincinnati Bell Data Plan to access my email or shurf the web. This sad. I do not want to use their Data Plan to surf the web. I did the following with Opera Down load 4.2 and it will not connect. It asked me to contact Opera for help. That is like tryiing to find a niddle in a hay stack. I did get one response and that person said he wasn't sure. I need to know. Can I access the web via my BB 8320 with WI FI without using Cincinnati bell data paln. I do not want my emails pushed to me as with their plan. I want to surf the web using my 8320 and Hotspot. I follwoed all the instructions and can not get the the opera to load on my BB. Thank you. What should I try next?

This worked perfict. I have a blackberry 8320 curve. My first blackberry. I cant wait to tell everyone how to do this.
You should check out my article on the latest phones out there
I just don't bother, and pay the $30/month for my new Tour. I get unlimited internet, email, text, and TV.
Check out my blog on why Blackberry phones are awesome:
you can access the web with this but you pay $1.99 per mb if you dont have the unlimited data plan.
that can get costy.

I have a T-Mobile Blackberry but I use AT&T, I still can't unloack my phone.
i have tmobile too, but it didnt work for me. and did it cost you guys extra charges?

WHAT ARE BSNL APN SETTING IN INDIA (HARYANA)FOR MY BB
does any one knows how much it will cost to get a bis plan ?????/ i do have a blackberry perl... my servise provider says it cost me $40 /month to get BIS .rediculas
@Parvinder: Find out the GPRS connection settings. It will have the APN. Its different for every state and circle. Ask your friends if they use GPRS.
@Sheepdog: Even if you download Opera Mini, you will be paying for the internet charges. Nothing is free here. The point here is BIS is very expensive than unlimited GPRS/EDGE data plan in many places, so we are trying a work around. If we have an unlimited GPRS connection (which is about 30% of the BIS in my case), with little bit of tweeks, you can enjoy the same features of BB Push mail service. But if you have BIS activated, you will be charged for the data usage.
I forgot to mention that if you are not using BIS and you have changed default browser configuration from internet browser to hotspot browser, you can access the internet whenever you get into a hotspot (wifi), totally free with Opera mini browser, if there are any such free hotspots available.

Guys,
Please someone advice on the following: I have unlocked 8900 Curve II Javelin and 9000 Bold. I just need the browser to use existing unlimited 3G/edge/gprs plan that I have for i-net surfing. With iPhone I had no problems, all the settings were automatic. The only reason I got BB is the comfy qwerty keyboards. So how can I bypass the WI-FI only browser option and have through 3G/edge data plan of my carrier Babilon of Tajikistan?

I have a Blackberry curve 8900. i was wondering if i can use opera mini without a data plan.
Iam using Blackbery Curve 8310 with vodafone connection but didnt find APN for vodafone in india for using free internet access to blackberry.Even if it is possible if any one can help me out of one more thing which is i can get the free software for my blackberry
Im using Tmobile and does this work for the Blackberry tour? i know that it came out recently and the os in the tour doesnot give you the option to enter in the ip settings and stuff. Im guessing i have to install a older version of the os to get it working. just need a confirmation. thanks
Good information! It is very helpful!
Do you have the APN settings for the O2 usa
Thanks
hello, can someone please help me with the apn settings for porta in ecuador. They dont want to give it to me.
Wait, so when you say free other than some charges, what kind of charges? Isn't it completely free if I'm connecting through my own wi-fi?
When you connect via wi-fi it's free of charge, but when you use the method shown here you don't have to pay for the blackberry data plan but you get charged the standard data rate for your usage which is the same amount you would pay if you had other than blackberry.
For Blackberry 8900 to be able to use the browser via WiFi, Got to Options > Browser configuration Then change the Browser settings from Mobinet to HotSpot Browser.
Thus if one had a unlimited web browsing plan with a standard cell phone there would be no extra charge? Also if any one had the information for Fido in Canada, more specifically Montreal that would be awesome.

FYI, I work for a service provider, and your device will work without a data plan but you will get charged for usage.
