I suppose there are loads of these threads but i couldn't find one which really solved my problem

today i bought a blackberry BlackBerry Curve 8520 and was wondering how do i connect to the internet not using my wireless router???

i sent a texted OW to 247 to still no reply

and also when ever i try to connect to a web page it says this is a wi-fi service please ensure your device has an active wi-fi connection

First, do you have a blackberry data plan on your account?

mate i have the same problem, i dont get app world or anything like that but i get free email and orange internet aparantly. but i am having trouble registering it

i also have the same blackberry

Same question - do you have the BlackBerry Data Plan on your account. Orange may call it something different. Not a plain Internet plan - a BlackBerry plan.

yes the plan is that i get free email and internet. but i dont get the rest like appworld , then i have to add an extra £5

Right - that's the BlackBerry piece. Until you add that, no App World.

but in my contract it says i get free internet and email?

Does it say BlackBerry E-mail?

i think, it says i get internet aswell but it only letsme get onto my wifi, i dont no how to get onto orange internet

free internet and email does NOT apply to blackberry devices.
You NEED the extra £5 blackberry add-on.

ahh right

the blackberry thing cost monthly or just one off payment???

monthly
