Help, please. I have owned my BB8320 for a few months now, and continue to have problems understanding and setting up a wifi connection.

I have read the manual as well as consulted online info to figure it out but I can't.

Here is my problem, I am travelling internationally in a few weeks and want to be able to (1) use my phone to make calls, and (2) connect to a public wifi in order to use the browser. I do not wish to receive emails from work, nor will I use any other applications on my BB during this time.

I have been trying to figure out wifi using my home router as well as in a public wifi area.

From the home screen, I selected Options --> Mobile Network --> Data Services = "Off" and Connection Preference = "Wifi Preferred"

I then connect to the public wifi, but under Manage Connections, it shows my Mobile Network (AT&T) with a green circle with the check mark, so I know that it is active. However, under Wifi - it indicates "on" but there is a yellow circle with a dash through it, and on the home screen the Wifi symbol is grayed out.

I am anxious to figure this out as I do not wish to incur data charges from Europe. I just want to make calls and use the browser at a public wifi spot.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks so much!
