As far as I'm aware Talk Mobile don't have a BIS(BlackBerry Internet Service) option. So push email, app notifications etc aren't going to work but...

You could try using Bolt Browser or Opera Mini and enter your APN details.



from here:- Talkmobile: Get Your Settings for Mobile Internet and MMS

Been sure enter the correct details as they are different for Pay Monthly and PAYG.

To enter APN details: go to => Options - Advanced Options - TCP

This would allow you to use the browser but not get push email, app notifications etc.

Hope this helps.

Phil
