    So after taking off my data probably like over 6 months ago I've still always been able to browse the web as usual through BB browse. Today being bored until the chaos tonight I figured if try my opera just to see what it does... And it works! Then I reinstalled Myspace app... And it works! I'm trying out a few others right now like google maps which I've missed. So how happy am I! No data plan and free data! Before any response I've been monitoring my bill for 6 months and there are no additional charges. Don't ask how it happened because I'm not sure, haha.

    And happy fourth of July everyone!!!

    I would watch it because if ur carrier finds out that u get freeweb u can get charged for all that. At once carriers never make a mistake that causes them to loose money

    Yeah, eventually they'll catch on .. enjoy it while it lasts though! .. I got away with having $7 unlimited on device browsing (not an actual data plan) on my old WinMo phone for data, haha but eventually they called me and told me its incompatible .. took them 4 months

    Isn't a data plan required with the blackberry?

    Yes, especially a specific BlackBerry data plan in order to access BIS services, such as push email, BBM, BB Browser, etc.
    Without so, you won't be able to access specific BlackBerry features, although you would be able to browse using opera mini.

    Haha, well I have a good retention plan with Rogers so I only play $50/month with a LOT of goodies. Although, there's no such thing as unlimited data in Canada .. 500 mb does me well.

    Oh cool, the 8520 would be a nice upgrade from the 8320, it shouldn't be too expensive when it comes out!

    It will probably drop around November.. definately in time for the holiday season! I might get the 8520 as a backup 'berry .. hopefully it won't be too expensive! I'm guessing it's going to cost $349.99 for an unlocked one.. I could be wrong though

    Not sure if that'll be free. IDK about t-mobile but with AT&T you can still "use" data even though you don't have a data plan. But you'll be charged per KB or MB. So I'd be real careful with that.

    Also, with AT&T it's not required to have the data plan with a BB, at least not yet. You can still use it just for phone calls, texting, and non-data apps. Not much good as a BB, but it works nonetheless.

    Yeah I was even at a tmobile store one day with a rep n told him about it. He was browsing on my phone everything.. Even he seemed shocked since I had no data plan. Ha and actually my phone has always been like this since I could remember. When I first got my BB I added the data of course but then decided to save a little but before that I could go to a lot of mobile sites n stuff which was all I was able to do at the time since I had the samsung blast. So if they haven't caught on yet and I've had them for roughly 5 years I don't think they ever will. Whoo!

    I find a lot of t-mobile users are getting this as well. I'm not sure why, but it's only with t-mobile users I've seen this happen to.

    Not on GSM carriers; hard to control. I can pop my sim in any carrier branded device or unlocked without calling to update my IMEI. With CDMA, you have to register your device in order to get service.

    Yeah what I noticed is that it still shows my data usage for daily use on tmobile.com so I always check out the last page to see if it totals anything n it always just says 0.00 although you can see all the mb's or whatever of browsing. My notifications don't work on Myspace app. I'm on there but it does not alert me of new items. Opera mini works as normarl. I still can't get push email but I just go to mobile yahoo n check it there n I can see everything n send emails as well.
