| |  Unlimited Mobile Browser?
Hey,
Bell offers a Unlimited Mobile Browser plan for $20. (Includes: Unlimited texts, free calls from 3-7 and unlimited mobile browsing.)
I spoke with a bell rep on the phone, and she said that the unlimited mobile browser (WAP? 2g?) doenst work with any blackberry (even if its unlocked). But since I've been misinformed before by a bell rep, I figured I'd ask here.
Does the unlimited mobile browser work on a blackberry storm 9530 that is unlocked?

No, the unlimited browser is for dumb phones that use WAP.
You will need to add one of their Blackberry Data packages.

Thanks man.
Aha, only if the storm had a WAP browser. It'd make poor people like me either happy or angry from slow speeds.

Bell does (or at least did) have a hidden unlimited BlackBerry data feature. When I was with Bell, they had a number of features/plans that you had to dig yourself to find. I found it using the BlackBerry browser on one of Bell's ads within their mobile site.

Problem is, the storm doesnt have wifi. Nor do I have a data plan. So I can't surf. (And I haven't got the phone yet. I either am getting it, or getting a Curve 8530 that has a bad ESN but was flashed.)

Wait. I did a lookup on google, and its saying that the Storm 9350 has a WAP browser. Does that mean I could use Bell's unlimited mobile browsing package? (As I previously spoke about.)
Fubaz stated that that option is for phones that have WAP, but if the unlocked storm has WAP, doesnt that mean I could use it on the unlocked storm?

Anyhow, my dad has a Bell Storm 9350, and I was unable to find a way to modify the TCP settings within Options --> Advanced. If you're able to do that, you might be able to surf via WAP.

Unlimited mobile browsing will not work as the plan will not have access to Blackberry service books.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Will work only via wifi, but since the 9530 doesn't have wifi you would be SOL. I tried it before with my storm

If you have had your plan for awhile you may still have the $30 unlimited data plan that Bell used to offer. I think thats what you're referring to right? Cause as far as I'm aware the system takes off incompatible features like unlimited mobile browser for $15 and also the FUN 15 & 20 bundles

the plan you were quoted is for prepaid/pay-as-you-go... just dont know why you would go prepaid for BBs.

Prepaid can be excellent for somebody visiting the country. I really like Rogers' undocumented Pay As You Go prepaid BlackBerry data plans that can be purchased for 24hrs or a week with respective amount of data for each (don't quite recall more specific details). Why it's undocumented however is beyond me. A bit of a tangent I know, but that's the main reason why I see prepaid BB plans making sense ;-)
