Default wifi only, what can i do? and what not?

Hello,

A friend's child of mine has a Bold 9700 and has no data plan.
I managed to get internet browser working (hotspot), but i can't access other services:
blackberry app world, and get the apps to work that are on it (whatsapp, msn, hyves.....)

Is this possible on wifi only? or should we just give up?

Thanks a lot

You need a data plan, period.

Only app that runs on wifi will work in your case. I also have a retired 9700 and been using it for web, BeWeather and an alarm clock

this. That is all. Wifi is basically web-only aside from a few apps which is listed below (or above) a few posts before mine.
