WiFi Access on my own phone

[rdmcnally]

Hello,

I am a current AT&T customer that does not have a data plan. I just bought a BB Curve 8320 on eBay. The phone works great except for the WiFi. I cannot get the phone's WiFi to work on my home network or on a completely open network. I've spent hours pouring through forums trying everything suggested. No luck.

Is there a requirement from AT&T to have a data plan for WiFi even if I own the phone and I only want to use this on my home network or an open network (like Biggby coffee)?

Thanks,

Bob

Do you have the service books for WiFi on your phone?

I'm not sure. I'll check later this evening when I get home.

Thanks for the post.

Hello,

I have these Wi-Fi service books installed:
WiFi TCP/IP Browser
WiFi TCP/IP Transport

Curious - tonight I was able to get an IP Address from my home router for a few moments. I was not able to browse the Internet even with the Browser Default set to Hotspot. I removed the battery to install my SD Memory card. When I powered-up the BB, I get the error message (via Wi-Fi Diagnostics) IP Address no longer valid. Even though my router assigned my BB the correct IP Address.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
