With the BlackBerry Feature Enabler, you can:

- Send Picture Messages without a BIS/BES plan
- Use the OZ Messenger Instant Messaging Client (Uses SMS, so be careful)
- Allow you to use T-Zones Portal (Access their WAP homepage)

With the current $5.99 TmobileWeb Plan in addition to the BlackBerry Feature Enabler

-Use Opera Mini to surf html websites.
-Use Opera Mini to check email via websites
-Use JiveTalk for your instant messaging needs (uses data, and $5.99 Tmobileweb plan is unlimited data)
-Browse ANY wap site using T-Zones Portal

Without the BlackBerry Feature Enabler plan
-CANNOT send picture messages
-CANNOT browse T-Zones
-CANNOT use OZ Client

so what about cingular? anyone know of a way to enable possibly email and/or internet without the blackberry plan? I can get unlimited texts now (for $20/month), but the cingular blackberry plans dont seem to include SMS, which I mostly use.

i'm looking to be able to use messenger, SMS, and email on my device (pearl).

Call Tmo back and tell them that you have 2 phones that you alternate using, they'll make an exception. They did for me , if they don't call back again and try a different rep... funny that you can get different results.

Hahaha...thanks!

Ive been using the MMS for a while now but knew I could not get the t-zone for $5.99 because I own a Blackberry.
But the little trick worked perfect!they just added it.although i still cant acess anything.How long does it take for the service to be added?
I just removed my battery still no go.

This doesn't sound like much of a deal. $15 for txt and $6 for the web=$21 (no push email and you can only use certain web browsers/portals no Berry 411, Googlemaps, etc). I get data for $20 and 300 Txt for $5= $25. So I'd save $4? Underwhelming at best.

[beyondalegend]

Good point!

can anyone confirm if this will work on Cingular?
thanks

Well I have the 1000 text message(i love it) which is 9.99 and t-zone is 5.99
so for 16.99 i get the web and plenty of messages.
So should be ok for me.just called them back and was told it will take 24 hours for tzone to kick in.yuuuuck

It's worth it if you don't need push email. My friend also has the grandfather 2.99 tzones web package with the 9.99 unlimited messages so she got access to everything for like 13 bucks as noted in my screenshot earlier

So what is the difference between tmobile web and blackberry data plan internet? I asked a csr and he said that I wouldnt be able to access full web pages or email with tmobile web, is that true?

You can access full email websites and html websites with opera mini. The main difference is the ability to get live push email to the device.


I think a lot of people don't understand that you do not have to use the oz messenger client to get Im and you can use JiveTalk with the 5.99 plan. Thus eliminating the need for the 14.99 unlimited text plan.

It'll save you like 15 dollars if you use opera mini to browse sites and jive talk for im

so something like m.facebook.com would look exactly the same on both plans, right? Also I would just have to view my gmail by going through the website instead of it automatically coming to my phone correct?

Is there a limit on how much you can IM?

After downloading the installer .zip file to your desktop computer, extract the contained files to a location you'll remember, and use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager Application Loader to install the program files onto your device.

Step-by-step instructions on a Windows PC
1. Start the BlackBerry Desktop Manager that came with your device and connect your BlackBerry device to your PC with the USB cable.
2. Click on the Application Loader icon.
3. Click on Add and browse to the location where you unzipped the JiveTalk program files, select the .alx file and click Open.
4. Select Next and then Finish to load the program files onto your device.
5. After the loading process completes, locate the JiveTalk icon on your BlackBerry and launch the application.

Ok, I called T-Mo yesterday afternoon and the guy put the Blackberry Feature Enabler on my plan - I have noticed no difference in my phone though, how do I send MMS now? I don't see it in any menus.

[kiddiosky]

Well this is weird.... I just called T-Mobile.. told them to take out my blackberry 19.99 plan... and add the 5.99 T-Mobile... Asked them about the Free Blackberry Feature.. he said blah blah blah. So I called back, a girl got me this time. Add my Blackberry Feature Enabled added on. So I logged on my T-Mobile account to check if its on there. Its on there, but now I dont see my 5.99 T-Zone.. any ideas?

[beyondalegend]

I had my BB Plan unlimited removed the night before last and I currently have no internet plan or at least nothing shows up when I log into my t-moblie account. However, I'm still able to use opera mini and I was wondering how is that possible??? Will I be charged for data usage with no plan?
