I own an unlocked blackberry torch with a Fido sim card. Since I got the phone, the browser had not been able to load. The following error appears...
unable to connect to the Internet, please try again later. if problem persists please contact your service provider.
I'm connected to my own password protected wifi but the browser/youtube/facebook/whatever else needs the internet does not work. My data is also turned off.
Thanks

Even with wifi enabled, you still need the data services turned on to use those apps and programs. Data services off prevents your phone from using data, whether its on wifi or your carrier.
In your case you would want to turn off your carrier, turn on wifi and turn on data services and the majority of things with work. Some apps still require you to have a blackberry internet service (BIS) specific data plan.

That's not true. If the wifi you are connected to is weak, the phone will switch to your carrier to keep a stable signal. If you do not want to use your carrier data at all (because of a low limit or roaming, etc) then just uncheck the "Mobile Network" box under Manage Connections and force the phone to stick with the wifi.
