Hello!
I am a new BB user, and I just wanted to post some questions, and I would really appreciate any info. I just bought a BB 8900 from eBay. The phone came with a t mobile sim card.
1. First what should i do with that sim card? I took it out since it has a pin lock. I just want to know if i am getting billed for that sim card?
I have read a lot of horrible stories about people getting billed thousands of dollars, and I cant afford to get billed a thousand bucks. Heck i cant even get billed a hundred right now! Anyways, I am planning to unlock the phone and put a prepaid sim card on the bb.
2. My second question is if say i do not put a sim card on there, is there anyway someone may ever bill me for using the internet. See i can use the internet using wifi, but i cannot turn off my data service because then the wifi wont work (i know weird but apparently people are experiencing the same thing).
3. Say i did put on my sim card on the bb. Is there anyway they charged me if i go over my minutes for using the internet?
3. When u click on app world, it says "data service not operational". But when i click on facebook, it is all good. Any idea why? I read somewhere that you can only access some apps if you have bis or bes. True? if so is there any way around it?
Some will probably say why i bought the damn thing if im not going to have data plan. Heck i dont know either. I just figured i needed a new phone (my old phone i bought in 2003... yeah i know). Sorry if the questions seems very stupid.
CHEERS!!! Thanks again. Any info about how to make a bb without dataplan badass wild be super awesome.
