The system hadn't registered you yet and when you started browsing you were being charged per KB?? I really have no clue on the matter as I'm using globes unlimited BIS and that adds up to roughly the same amount that you're being charged at the moment

Sorry if I wasn't much help

the BB social wont give me an option to put on internet browsing in my browsers option really. so im stuck with hotspot browsing only. well i will do that sir. thanks so i dont know why theyre still charging me. oh well. i think they are still flawed and im one of the lucky ones that gets this kind of service from them. oh well. haha01-04-11 09:47 AMLike 0 - hey guys..

As for the BlackBerry plans, I believe Smart would have to register on your behalf for, at least, the first two months of your Gold subsription with them. According to the rep I spoke with, they have to monitor the activity of your account prior to giving you the freedom to register for yourself (i.e. bill paid on time). Once you've "proven" yourself, they can increase the credit limit of your plan; thereby, allowing you to register without their assistance. It's an effed up strategy, I know. But if it works for them, then I guess I'm all for it.
In my case, though, a rep was more than eager to "tag" my account prematurely; hence, I can now register on my own. Why she did that, I do not know. Going the extra mile, maybe? Anyway, you might want to talk your way around and see how things shake off. They might be willing to budge as well. Again, it would be best to check your nearest Smart Wireless Center.01-04-11 12:10 PMLike 0 - Hi there. I have been receiving this error message quite frequently when using the Facebook application on a daily basis:
"We cannot reach the Facebook server at this time. Please try again later. (100)"
Is there a solution or at least a workaround for this? I'm currently on postpaid and subscribed to Smart's "BlackBerry Lite Social" plan, so no or expired data plan should not be the culprit. HELP!
Also, how do you browse the Internet using WiFi? I was able to establish a WiFi connection but I am unable to visit a site using the handset's browser. The WiFi icon on my homescreen is also grayed out despite the successful and strong WiFi connection. Are there more settings that I need to tweak? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.Last edited by enonymity; 01-04-11 at 12:35 PM.

Regarding browsing using wifi only.. On a bold 9700 simply go to manage connections, turn off mobile network and use wifi only... Depending on your routers wireless configuration make sure that it doesn't have mac address filter enabled, if it does, you need to add your bbs mac address into the router settings... if your router is using WEP.. I highly recommend using WPA security instead.. I had difficulties connecting on my own router... Don't ask me why... It was something I noticed.. So as long as it works.. I'm not changing it anymore
Hope that helps

Does it give you an error msg as well?? If yes, then its just a signal strength issue if browsing has no issues and its just the fb that's having the problem may I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling fb..

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-04-11 07:00 PMLike 0 - Hi guys. Can anybody tell me how to associate my work e-mail account with my BlackBerry? I am using Outlook 2007 at work which I believe is connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server. Would it be painstaking to set up? I would just like to receive and send e-mails while I'm on the go. Appreciate the help!

First, I can give you few advice if you are using globe (coz I'm globe). If so, if you are on prepaid you can subscribe on Super Surf or Power surf for a BIS or if you are on postpaid you must subscribe also to BIS which you can integrate your corporate email by ff this steps:
1. Go to setup folder
2. Click on Email settings
3. If you are integrated your outlook email select other
4. Provide email and password and in most cases, your done!
You can also set up email on your bb using this article http://bbry.lv/cAtpjy
Goodluck sir!

They have a lousy CSR and if you go to a Smart Wireless Center it'll eat up pretty much 45mins of your time before being served then another so-so minutes for them to solve your prob (if they solved it) Guess what I'm saying is, if you plan to go to Smart Wireless Center be there as early as you can. ok rant over, moving on...lol01-08-11 06:10 AMLike 0
- Not yet. My first bill (my subscription's fairly new) came out fine. But should I be wary?

Allot of my friends are saying that Smart is doing some crap to their BB plans or something. I'm not sure about that though. i saw allot of hidden charges that i never saw before suddenly came out when i got my bill today. I'll find out more about this when i go to Smart and tell you guys.01-09-11 09:31 AMLike 0
