Hi all
I am a new user to Blackberry; have been a use of iPhone for long time.
I got my torch 3 days ago and did not have the time to get a data contract with Orange to configure my email settings, however, when I activated the phone using my Orange sim, the browser automatically hooked to all Orange settings, WAP and so on, I could not figure out how.

I have configured my wifi setting it is saved and logs in quite normal. However, I have noticed that my browser, it opens and drags data from Orange World and not my wifi. I checked my mobile settings and switched off the data option, instantly I had no access to internet

My services status reads as follows:
status available
connection Mobile network
Blackberry Internet services & Enterprise server : not connected

Wi-Fi network
Active profile & SSID
Type : not connected, not the data option is switched off. When on, it reads, 802.11b/g/n

However, the wifi is connected to my router. When I switch on the data option, internet is accessible, however, I have no idea from which source the browser is pulling data; Orange WAP setting or wifi.

Can anyone help

Thanks folks

If you switch off data, it also switched off the wifi. As long as you have the WiFi logo, it should be running through wifi. It would only turn into a solid white if you are connected to BES or BIS, which I assume you're not. Best if you contact Orange and see if you have been using data through them. If not, wifi is working perfectly fine.

Thanks for your info. Will check with Orange
Another question. My bb used BES for email; is there a way to overrule BES or it is a MUST to have data package?

Also, noticed that my browser is linked to Orange WAP; is there a way to free it or download another browser?

Thanks

It is set to wifi, actually 2 wifis and phone connects as soon as it is in range; I doubt it is the wifi connection.
Also, in the option of mobile network, I do not have connection preference; I suppose there is must be a difference between your Bold9700 and Torch. I looked it up again to see if there is any option about 'preferred connection'; there is none.

That how I am not from where the internet is pulling data; from Orange or my wifi.
Thanks
