I heard that I could browse the web through wifi. When I try to it wont let me browse the web through Wifi unless I have Data Services on and if I have Data Services on it takes away my prepaid minutse! Why is this happening? I though Wifi was free? Please Help

melendrez, go to Options >Advanced Options >Browser. What is your default browser there?

Make Hotspot (Wifi) Browser the default browser.

You have been advised this already at least three times that I see.

And please quit double posting your (same) questions day after day here.

Well what they have advised me has not worked, so that is the reason I keep posting the same question. Isnt that obvious??

[JSanders]

See, you chose NOT to follow the advice or answer the question posed.

No wonder you are frustrated.

Please, do not double post your questions here, it is like crying wolf--you get ignored eventually.

[melendrezj38]

I just said that I have followed the advice that has been given to me and it has not worked. What am I supposed to do, not ask again just because it bothers some people. I think, Not. Now for teh question you asked, it says Hotspot Browser.

[JSanders]

So, you don't get the WiFi browser?

With Data Services off, and the WiFi enabled, go to wap.blackberryforums.com.

Does it work?

And yes, if you continue to demand that you be allowed to double post your questions here, you can find another forum where it is acceptable.

No it just says I have the Hotspot Wifi Browser. I tried to go the website but all it said was "A communication failure has occured, the server may be busy, please try again later. If the problem persists contact your service provider." When I try it with the Data Services on its fast and it actually connects but it charges me. Could it be because i'm using an unlocked T-mobile 8120?

[JSanders]

it has nothing to do with it being unlocked.

Do you have a WiFi connection? A router?

[melendrezj38]

Yes, im using the one in my home. It says that I am connected to it.

If you goto WI-FI diagnostics in wifi options/wifi tools, does it show an IP address?

[melendrezj38]

yes it shows an IP address

Does it have UMA on the screen?

i believe that even using WiFi you get charged air time (ie. minutes) as if you were on a phone call. Is that what you mean by being charged?
