I have a bb 9000 and I am currently in france .

I have switched off the data as I dont want to pay stupid charges .
I have set up the wifi with the livebox from my mum house and the phone finds and accepts the wifi connection but I still cant access the internet ?

can I use the phone as a mini laptop with only the wifi ?

the phone is working fine for calls and txts .

thanks

try setting it to wifi only for the data connection, then data on. also select no data while roaming.

I take it you have v6 installed on it to tether it easily.

thanks , swutched off the mobile network , left wifi only on , turned data on and it is working .

brilliant

thanks

BBMs work over wifi too, which is awesome.
