I have no data plan but have WiFi. I have been told by ATT that there is no charge for WiFi but I haven't received my first bill yet. There are two browsers on my phone but neither will access the internet and I am connected to WiFi. Any suggestions?

Thank you very, very much, Irish Rose. I will take some time to look at these sites and the video. I do love the BB, though, just for texting and good quality phone reception. Hope others will read your post.

You are welcome Winston. Please let us know how you make out with this. Enjoy your new Curve 8320, I agree with you, it is very nice handset.

Hi, I have the same problem as you. I bought a Blackberry Curve 8900 through AT&T and was told i could use WiFi for free. Now they tell me its a prerequisite to get the ATT Data Plan. i feel completely cheated. I am going to return the phone and get out of this asap. Aravind

This is incorrect. At this time, you CAN use free WiFi on your BB 8900 without a data plan. It is best to place a data block on your account, so that all data is going through your wireless router, and not AT&T's network. Next, you should go into your settings, and change the default browser to "Hotspot".

I know that I have made all the necessary setting but it does not let me connect to WiFi. I would recommend you calling ATT customer care. They sent a PDF that says "RIM BB Data Plan" required as one of the prerequisites. I believe you are mistaken in this case.
