Hi all, Sorry it this is just me being completely female but i'm having trouble with my new blackberry storm.
I bought it on vodafone (uk) and had it unlocked to o2 (uk) on pay and go. I downloaded service packs for the storm but still cannot connect to the internet or send mms. I was told by o2 that i needed to be on a contract to be able to get a blackberry data plan in order for the internet and mms options to work, but i am very reluctant to get a contract as i have an incredibly good deal with my pay and go tarrif.
I have seen on some forums that a generic data plan can be used instead to gain internet access, but thats where i get stuck.
Any help on how i can resolve this problm would be very greatly appreciated!

Thanks

firstly, wrong place to post.
secondly service packs? you mean upgraded the OS?

and thirdly, yes it MAY work on a generic data plan, but a BB data plan is best.
Most often than not you cannot get a data plan of any kind (generic or BB) without a contract.

you want the phone to work fully, get a contract.

Sorry i'm new to this forum business and blackberry, just wanted some advice. I have managed to get opera mini onto my blackberry which is fine for me as it means i dont have to change my sim. But i was wondering if you know if it is possible to send mms via opera mini as a possible solution to my query.

[MidnightDraven]

opera mini is a browser.
MMS is a type of message sent over your mobile network.
the 2 cannot be used together.

to use MMS you need a service book for it. (a blackberry thing to make a service work).
you will not get this service book without a BB data plan.

you'll struggle to get all the features to work on o2 pay and go.

only pay and go networks in the UK that support it are orange and T-mobile.

Personally i'm with orange using my bold (get my storm on monday!) and haven't had a single problem with internet/mms/e-mail etc.

t-mobile only support it if you buy the BB they are offering.
They dont offer BIS on payg if you just go get a payg sim card.

Hi i did exactly the same thing- go on to a simplicity monthly rolling contract and opt for the free, yes, free blackberry support, you will be up and running in no time- 02's 3G is really good BTW, (dont know what all those iphone owners are on about)
cheers
