I work in the Gulf of Mexico, and there is no cell service out here. So I was going to use the wifi for BBM but it isnt working, I can use the browser to surf the web, but I cant get my emails or use BBM. My carrier is AT&t and I do have a data plan and everything works just fine when I am on land. I don't want to make calls or use text messages, and doing this worked fine on my Bold. When I try I my mobile network turned off and my wifi on. I've spent the last 4 hours scouring the internet to find a solution and nothing has worked so far. Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I just have to wait to talk to one of our IT guys.
DangerMouse's post was spot on. do you have BES or BIS? when i was at my island house in SC, our local AT&T tower went down for an hour. i was connected to my home wifi and was still up and running on everything except cell based services (calls and SMS) so it should be working.
