Hello all,
I tried switching off my cell connection, so that I could test and see if BBM could work only off Wifi signal, and it does. It was not working on my 9800, so this is good.
Off course, I still think you need to be on a plan. Can someone confirm if you could get BBM to work on a Z10, without a cell plan, and only based on entering the Blackberry ID?
Cheers,
JF
I can confirm. I was able to set bbm on wifi only, no sim.
Same here.
I was in an area with no cell phone coverage but still managed to have a BBM conversation. Quite surprised, I was !!
Isn't this great? Having said that, it seems as though it is bad news for investors, as this means less money from services...
This function was added in OS7.
Data is cheap, why would you do this to yourself
In OS 7, if I am correct, if you have a current data plan, you can go anywhere in the world and use all blackberry services via wifi. Helped a heck lot.

Your thread title is very misleading.
Are BBM messages not free(included) anyway?
Yes it is!
It should say "Without cell coverage" or something over the like

No kidding. Title should be changed to read "BBM on Z10: Confirmed to work without cellular" or something. The title says that it only works on wifi.
This worked on my Torch 9800 also. I used bbm when I was in Mexico last summer with no cell coverage and only wifi at my hotel. I think as long as it detects you have a valid sim card in the phone (?) it will work.
How do you change the title of a thread? Can't find an edit function for the title...
I believe a moderator has to do it

Well, I've run into this problem... All works through 3g except for bbm which only works when connected to wifi!
I set my whole device up without a sim card and was really surprised that i could bbm after device swapping even without the sim card even going into the phone (it didn't fit)
