Ciao,

I got new BB Bold 9000 and I using it as cellular phone without internet access through BIS nor BES. I am able to connect to internet through my home wifi router.
Here I have doubt I can connect to internet, I can download whatever application (free one), I can browse any pages but when I would like to use GOOGLE MAPs or some INSTANT MESSENGERS then all application telling me that could not find internet connection. Is there any additional set-up needed or do I need something special?

Sorry, I am still very new user

Thanks

I don't think google maps works with wifi. I think it requires a data plan. I know that BB maps only works with a data plan.

Not sure about the IM programs.

No IM without a data plan either.

Check this out from the FAQs.

Thank you very much, is it difficult to get data plan?

Just call your cell provider and tell them you want to add it.

BeeJive works on wifi. I stay connected at my school since I have poor cell service there.
