Partial Access to Websites on Balckberry Curve 8320 with T-Mobile

[Alohagirl58]

I just bought myself a Blackberry Curve 8320 from T-Mobile with NO internet service plan, and I noticed that if I click on the internet browser icon, it looks like a blue globe, three tabs appear on the screen saying "Web" "Downloads" and "My Account" and when I click on the "Web" tab on the page it says "Free Site of the Week." And for the past 3 weeks I have recieve 3 new sites, the first being from eBay, the second ESPN, and the third MySpace. I am limited to what I can and cannot see under these links, but my questions is, is there anymore of these llinks that I could add to my phone?

Thank you in advance if anyone can help me!

I am very interested in how you got a blackberry curve with NO data plan?

Its probably just the free Tzones that you are on. And yeah, how did you get a Curve with no data?

You're starting up the T-Mobile browser, which has a blue globe icon and lands you at wap.t-zones.com . Without a data plan, you can probably only access WAP sites hosted by T-Mobile (so you can spend money on T-Mo ring tones, themes, etc).

If you have access to any Wi-Fi networks, switch to the HotSpot/WiFi browser. It bypasses the mobile network entirely and loads pages over Wi-Fi. Click the Options icon and go to Advanced Options->Browser. Change the default browser configuration to use the HotSpot browser. The CB thread below will help you set up Wi-Fi if you haven't done it yet.

A lot of the built-in applications require a data plan. See the CB thread below for a long list of applications that will and won't work if you just have Wi-Fi.

I actually ordered my Blackberry over the phone with the main T-Mobile office. I inquired with the T-Mobile rep if I had to pay for an internet plan to get the phone and she said "No" to my surprise. The Kiosks in Sams Club also dont force you to get the data plan. The only thing with ordering the phone from the T-Mobile main office is I had to pay the shipping which was like $5 so it was worth it.
