- I was thinking of buying a Z10 for my daughter but I don't want to add data to her plan. Would she be able to send/ receive mail when in a wifi area like home, school and other hot spots?
I know that is not possible with BB7 but wondering if BB10 can since no BIS is needed?

I think carriers require you to have a data plan when you buy a smartphone, even if it's the bare minimum. Also, I like your Tony Stewart 14 avatar. The 42 is my favorite haha I gotta get back to watching the Coke Zero 400 right now.07-06-13 07:34 PMLike 0 -

- Thanks guys. I may pick up a used Z10 for her, I think that may work best. I may unlock it.
Surprised BBM works also. I guess that doesn't run through BIS anymore either?Javid Gozalov likes this.07-07-13 07:56 AMLike 1 -
The BlackBerry logo appears in the top bar when you have access to the BlackBerry severs, which is a pretty good way to tell you have access to the Internet.

My 9900 is also receiving email over Wifi only, but it is connected to BBW and is set up with all of my user information. I am not paying for data for thus phone, either.
My zed is set up with data and is my primary communications device.

It is a replacement phone that has not been connected to BBW or loaded with my data since it was replaced. I just added the necessary email addresses.

However, the browser, BBW, WhatsApp and anything that doesn't route through the BIS server will work well.

Is Z10 capable of email with no data plan?
