Smart plan + voicemail + Data is $52/month after taxes.
Sadly, they chose fido and it won't work on wind or mobilicity's networks due to it not matching the 1, 4, 8 frequenties.
Enjoy what you have OP. I'll even link you to some wifi only apps: http://forums.crackberry.com/wifi-di...s-list-462539/02-16-12 05:15 AMLike 0 - i think it has been a while since this changed. Facebook was changed up...maybe with 2.0 to work without a BIS plan. i know this because there have been times i turn on my spare phone without a sim and updates get pushed to it when i have wifi turned on. so that shouldnt be the issue as to why it isnt working for him/her02-16-12 08:12 AMLike 0
- yes, facebook app works without data plan, over wifi, my wife has no data plan (she has my old 8520), and use facebook app over wifi everyday.....roughout123 likes this.02-16-12 08:15 AMLike 1

You'll need to log onto wifi through your phone, upgrade app world from the mobile site, and download the latest Facebook from App World. My friend was having the same problem with a 9810 without data, and it turned out to be an old version of Facebook. The new one (starting with 2.0, I believe) allows you to use it over wifi, evens without data plan. The same goes for twitter, but you need the latest version.
The site to download latest app world from your blackberry is the first result when you google "download bb app world" from your phone.
Good luck, and don't listen to the posters above that said Facebook won't work without data plan. They have a ton of posts and have become completely ignorant, because they think they know everything already.02-16-12 12:07 PMLike 0 - Trying to get or encourage somebody to STEAL DATA by circumventing BIS cannot be discussed here. I'll link the OP to appworld, twitter and facebook: Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones
Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones (or you can use)
UberSocial Download
BlackBerry App World
Latest appworld works over wifi, but you'll require BlackBerry I'd, which likely only works over a BIS connection requiring a data plan.02-16-12 04:30 PMLike 0
