I just came back from a week in Spain and found a very expensive mobile phone bill. My Blackberry Bold had been automatically connecting to internet and downloading my email by phone in roaming mode. I had expected email was only active in a free wireless area but it seems this was not true, it also used phone calls to download mail.
How can I block that without doing something as brutal as removing the SIM card? Other kinds of phones have settings to do that but I haven't found these settings in Blackberry Bold.
I'm having problems with my internet, its either I get error messages when I want to visit a website, or when I want to download, on the downloads message, it never fully downloads and I keep getting error messages. It worked well before now all of a sudden it isn't.
With my first BB 9900 I would download music etc from the internet using 3G and it would literally take seconds. Now, with my second BB 9900, I have full 3G signal but the download is super slow and never finishes downloading, it just says error. I've cleared my cache history and rebooted tons of times.
I just bought mine and it is running on V 10.2010.12-9, it worked great at first, but after some times of use it no longer automatically connect to the internet when needed, I've to manually connect every time by click on the top bar icon, reboot many times but no help, is this a bug ? and how do I change from 3G to 2G, it seems there is no way to do it.
I've recently experience aproblem with my phone automatically connect to the internet every hour. therefore i set the connection mode to always ask but the mode pops up asking me to connect to the internet every hour. This kinda irritating. I've tried to reformat the phone using the *#7370# but problem still occured.
I downloaded "whats app" from Nokia OVI store on Saturday, using my home wi-fi just for fun and try out. However, since then, it seems like the phone has been trying to go online. I tried to find out how to disconnect from going online, but it just changed from high speed/3.5G to 3G. I am losing credit everyday. At first, I thought it was because I downloaded a game and the app from OVI store on Saturday. But this morning when I checked my credit, just to make sure. I noticed credit has been deducted from my balance. What should I do? How do I uninstall or delete "whats app" from ym phone?
I have a Blackberry Bold 9780, my internet works perfectly however on attempting to download files it begins downloading but very slowly and an error message comes up saying download failed. This has only been happening recently and prior to this I was able to download large files with no hassle.
I have a blackberry 9700 with BIS which I've just upgraded the software from OS5 to OS6, I'm having a problem opening and downloading any music and videos from the internet, I can browse through perfect but when I try to save it takes forever to download 1 percent and then says failed, I previously had this problem with the OS5 software as well, it used to work fine when I first got the phone but recently started failing to download so I upgraded to OS6 and the problem is still the same, there is nothing wrong with my memory card as I've tried with another memory card and the problem still continues.
Is there ANY way to block internet to one of these phones? I can't tell by just powering it up, and don't want to buy the service plan since I can't get refunded if this doesn't work.Kiddo really wants a slider, but mean ol' mom says no way to internet!
Is there a way as my data plan is very limited to block all those funny game apps that want to access the internet for no reason? As this costs me lots of unneccesary data.
Can i block internet access for an app without using another app?? Has the s6 any feature that can do it??? I know there are apps that can do that but i want to know if its possible without using any other app.
When I went to Europe a month ago, my blackberry was updating automatically and I didn't know about it, which made my bill go way up. So now I want to know how to turn this off so that next time I go over seas I wont have to pay for roaming.
I am writing this as I am the bill payer for my daughters Blackberry! She is going abroad soon and I understand that sometimes people have run up large data bills when abroad because their smartphone apdates aps without prompting. I just need to know, in case this might happen with my daughters phone (blackberry bold 9780) how do I prevent automatic updates of software on her phone while she is abroad?

I am trying to remove the following message: -- BlackBerry® from Mobistar --- which appears at the end of any message I am sending from my BB. The setttings do not seem to give access to this function - or I missed it.

For the past week or so I've been trying to configure the BeWeather app. I've tried numerous times and downloaded the most updated free version of the app. The problem is I go to preferences and set the update time to "every hour" but it never automatically updates the forecast. Does anyone know how I can sort it out? Do I need to buy the full version?

I've just upgraded my Blackberry 9700 to firmware 5.0.0.593. I noticed the Auto Standby 2.4.1 utility that locks the keyboard after 30 seconds doesn't function anymore. An automatic keyboard lock is a very basic functionality for every phone and it would be good if it can be reinstated in a future firmware release. I'm now using Ultimate Lock but this can't be activated by the top-left lock button. I'm also a fan of the Bedside mode as it prevents the LED from blinking at night and switches profiles automatically when you put it in the charging pod. Is there a way to prevent the clock from being displayed while the phone is charging in bedside mode? I've already set "Dim Screen" to Yes but it still lights up the room.
