I have a question, I own my bb curve 8320 and I work in the cafeteria at school, they have brick walls around and plus they have a computer near by. I noticed my bb status that shows red bar....where I cannot recieve or send the message till I get out of the school, it happens on and off....I don't like that. I ought to have that on the most of the time where I am at, so how would I do that like setting the connection on where I am not in a wireless coverage area?
In addition to their network, you can also connect through Wifi. If your school supports a Wifi environment, your can use that to get phone and data service.
Check it out with Site Survey. That is buried in Wifi Diagnostic under Connections. If you can get a usable signal, it will show up in the survey.
