    I just got an unlocked Blackberry Tour running on 4.7. It's missing quite a few service books it seems as I don't have browser, MMS, GPS, wifi, etc. Only SMS and calls work.

    There are alot of tutorials online that help remedy the problem however they require an internet plan.

    Is there a way to get the books onto my phone WITHOUT said plan? (as in, I only have voice and SMS.) I'm on T-Mobile. Phone is Verizon branded.

    Nope, without a data plan there is no way to download the service books.

    Did you click on the first link in the second post on the thread?

    There is a link the FAQ entry which has the Service Books downloads as well as detailed instructions.

    I did, the last part of the post reads:

    "Step 5:
    Upgrade your T Mobile plan to something that includes blackberry internet service.
    "

    no data plan no BIS, the service books dont work without a bb data plan. Why dont you get a BB plan???

    What you can do is install a 3rd party browser and see if you can get that to work, but I doubt it

    Get a prepaid plan for a month. Look at the Even More Plus Plans.


    Also, it's worth noting that 1) the Tour 9630 does not have WiFi hardware (I missed that in your OP), and 2) the GPS will work without data but you need data for the maps so there's not much point.

    Also, MMS requires data on BlackBerry so even if you get the Service Books, it probably won't work.

    Oh wow, can't believe I thought it did, I think it was because I was looking at the new incoming tour.

    Regardless though, I still need MMS and GPS

    I have a 8120 without data and MMS works fine.
