Generally speaking, you must have an official BlackBerry data plan even to use WiFi. Any data used over WiFi won't count against any monthly allotment, but you need to have the data plan in place to get the service books to enable WiFi use.
Hi rambo47,

I have got a data plan with my carrier but I prefer to use WiFi at my college because it's faster etc. Only problem is that it's not registered as a 'Hotspot' but as a normal WiFi network, with WEP passphrase but to bypass their internal internet filter you need to enter proxy credentials, which I can't find anywhere to enter. Most people with iPods and iPhones can do it....
