BB Storm :: Pop3 Email Set Up Without BES, BIS Or Data Plan?
May 9, 2010
I just bought an unlocked storm2 free and clear - no contract (upgraded from Curve with no data plan). I have continuous wi-fi as my internet company provides me with unlimited wi-fi access wherever I go in the US so my plan is to access my e-mail thru wi-fi.
Is pop3 e-mail set up possible without BES, BIS or data plan? Is there a 3rd party e-mail apllication available for blackberry, much like for pc where you can configure a 3rd party software (i.e., ms outlook, ms express, etc.) for your e-mail.
Right now the only way I can check my e-mail is by logging into the internet via wi-fi and going to my internet provider's web site. That is a hassle though as I have to go thru several steps before I can actually check my e-mails.

I recently purchased a BB Storm II. Wi-Fi was working fine on iy went I just started to use it, but since I signed up for the BB service excluding data (e-mail only), the Wi-Fo no longer works.When I enable the WiFi link, the icon remains grey! Is this how the phone was designed to work - No W-Fi without a data plan.
I have a friend here in Canada from the Ukraine. He has brought his phone here from the Ukraine - this phone is not activated here - can not call or recieve calls but his GPS system works here in Canada.So I wonder - can my Blackberry Storm 9550 use gps without adding a data plan from my provider (Rogers)?
I have a Blackberry Storm 9530 and I currently have no data plan on the phone. I want to connect to my wi-fi at home, but I'm not sure how to. How do I connect to my wi-fi if I have no data plan on the phone?
I just bought an unlock Verizon Blackberry storm 9550. I I tried to activate a data plan with Digicel Trinidad and i am getting a message stating that "Can not activate selected plan your device is incompatable with the service".
I recently purchased a BlackBerry Verizon Storm 9530 from a website....the BBM and internet data plan doesn't work even after activating the plan through my carrier (Vodafone)..
I just updated my Unlocked Verizon Storm 9530 to new OS 5.0.0328 after 2 weeks trying. after great help from BBstorm4me, I was able to complete upgrade. I installed my backup to reinstall my contacts but I now have no browser and the instructions of register now from the Advance options does not work!!! It stays blank. My phone is working with calls and text but no Internet? It was working fine prior to OS update. How do I get my Internet back and my Browser?
I see all these great post for those on At&T and Verizon, but no one is listing any info to those users that are not paying 100.00 + bucks a month! Im in California and am using Cricket paying only 45.00 per month with unlimited text, calls, and internet. I paid $75.00 for the BB 9530 and $30.00 to flash. I surely dont want to pay another 30.00 to re-flash the phone just to get the internet back that was working fine prior to OS upgrade.
i want to get the pearl 8120. i do not want to sunscribe to a data plan and would like to send and receive emails only through wifi. is this possible to do? if i get a data block on my sim will it still work with just wifi?
I am new here, so thanks for any help. Great Community. I read already a few posts but couldn't find a solution. I want to check my gmail emails through my Bold 9700. Currently I don't want to sign up for a Data plan. I want to use my Wifi connection in the office or at home in order to get my emails. I don't need push function but I don't want to go through the webpage and log in. I just want to press any button and receive my emails on request.
Is there any way to get my emails? My friend has a iphone and he can choose between manual email receiving with wifi or push with data plan.
I currently have a Curve 8320 with Tmobile, BB unlimited e-mail, and no data plan. This works really well, since all I use it for is email and calendar. I occasionally use the internet at home using WiFi. And email service is only $10/month. I'm thinking of getting an 8520, but want to make sure my BB email still works fine with no data plan. I know Tmobile won't sell you one unless you get data service. Anyone own an 8520 without a data plan?
My browser and email stopped working about 3 days ago and I spent almost a whole day on the phone with support, no help. They had me do everything including delete all my service books and now there is nothing in the host routing table. They finally said, we cant help. My phone is stuck on lower case edge and I cant get data.
I have a Rogers Blackberry Curve 9360 which I had unlocked (by Rogers) and switched to Telus - I have purchased a Telus SIM and I have a Data plan I can send/receive calls and texts and the wifi is working but I can't get my email or access internet unless on wifi...
I have the 8520, and have no data plan with my carrier in my post payment plan, i thought , since i have wi-fi at home, office and tons of hot spots. I can use my BB to access the web using free wi-fi as i have been doing with my last 4 smartphones.Big mistake. i have been charged 55 us last month, for data transfer use , i ran to my planŽs assistance office ( telcel in Mexico ), and the answer i got was. you have to get a data plan from us to be able to use wi-fi ( obviuosly i stared at her , just nodding my head ).There is no point in having a device that has acces to wi fi networks , if i cant access the wi fi network without you data plan, so i got the lady to bring the tech guy. His response was...naaahhh...it will access the wi fi. but weŽll charge u anyway. you need to disable the network from the phone and only leave the wi fi option on so you can access without any other charge, but this will leave you with no phone connection.
Is this real? did i just spend 399us in a gadget that has wi fi capabilities but will not be able to get on any wi fi connection form home or work, without being charged for data transmission over my cell providers network?cmon this sounds as stupid as it does in my head ? i would be really disapointed if i just left my old Nokia E71 SPhone, for this beautiful BB Curve 8520 THAT DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE WI Fi.
Right now I'm on a TELUS family plan with 4 people and there are no iPhones. I want to get an iPhone and have it on the family plan but also not buy a data plan. Is it possible to do this? So basically my plan would be around $25 a month with unlimited text and caller ID.
I checked out my data usage on the att website and it turns out surprisingly that i consistently use under 200mb a month.
1. I beejive im every work day for at least 2 hours on edge(don't tell my boss) but it suprisingly only comes out to only about 4mbs per day (if i used 3g would the data consumption be higher?)
2. I maybe use slingplayer 1 day a month on 3g (sad) about 10mbs i think
3. I grab email manually by opening up the mail app maybe twice a day max.
Do you think i should switch asap? or is it best recommended to view iphone 4 data usage first in case i upload 720p video (which i doubt they will let you do)
I bought an iPhone 3GS off a guy on craigslist and it works great, no complaints. But every few minutes or so I get the alert saying that I "Cannot activate cellular data network - You are not subscribed to a cellular data service", and it's really annoying because it lights up my iPhone all the time and kills my battery. It's also really annoying - it comes up whenever I'm typing a message or playing a game; literally when I do ANYTHING on my phone. I do not have a data plan, but I have used 'unlockit.co.nz' to install a Fake APN to my iPhone to block data. Rogers has also given me a data block. This has been going on ever since I bought the phone, I thought installing a Fake APN would stop it but I guess not. I can't really restore since I have a lot of stuff on this iPhone already.. but if that's the only option then I will be forced to. I used to have an unlocked Fido 3G (about 2 months ago) without data and it never gave me this alert, do you think it has something to do with my 3GS being locked to Rogers?
This phone is a jailbroken iPhone 3GS (model MC143C) running version 3.1.3 (7E18) and locked to the "Rogers 5.0" network. If it helps the modem firmware is 05.12.01.if there are no real solutions, I still have 2 months left on my warranty. Would Apple fix it or give me a new one if I un-jailbreak it?
Does retrieving music and data from iCloud use up the data plan usage? And is there an adapter that will allow me to charge the iPhone with the standard charging cord for Blackberry and Android?
Does anyone know what happens if you get an (activated) iPad micro-SIM and put it in a PC data card? Grabbing the $30/month for unlimited data before it goes away would be attractive if it works.
I'm aware I'd have to get a micro-SIM to SIM adaptor, but what else? Change the APN my PC uses? Does AT&T check the IMEI? I've been searching but no one seems to have tried it, unless my search-fu skills are failing me.
does anyone know how to set up pop3 email on this phone yet? Surely someone at Nokia must know? crazy thing is, when I got the phone, I did get someone at orange to set it up for me & it worked fine for a while but now all i get is a message telling me "there is a communication error, try later"! needless to say "later" has never arrived even after 7 months!
Ive been told most newer phones have gone back to providing FULL & comprehensive sets of instructions so users can find out how to do stuff like this!
I have t-mobile as my provider, and I have their new limited $15/month data plan with my HTC HD2.I was wondering whether I can use wifi without data usage going towards my data plan.I expect that the 200MB limit will be reached pretty quickly if I cannot use wifi to balance things out.
I can't send any email when I am using POP3 email, I have the same set up that I have in my iphone before. When I push send, the email goes to outbox and it will never send.
Should my inbox on E72 contain old email? All I have is new email recieved. I have no way of referring back to earlier emails other than to refer back to my inbox using a PC. Is there any settings I can /should change to enable 'read' mail to stay in my E72 inbox? This is a bit of an inconvenience that I could do with some help with. The email account I am using is a blueyonder address through Virgin Media.
I use outlook with a POP3 e-mail account that syncs (new mail) with my iphone and ipad2. Is there a way or program that will allow me to delete e-mail from one device and also delete it from my pc and my iphone and/or ipad2 (depending on which device I happen to be on)?
after I updated to the new v50 software I can't seem to be able to find a way to set up a pop3 homtail account. every option to set up an email leads me to the nokia messaging app which I don't like to use as the sync option is seriously unreliable. I can set up a pop3 account?
I have two professional accounts forwarded to one gmail account through pop3. I have that gmail account on my 8330. So, whenever someone sends an email to my professional account, it shows up on my BB, great. However, when I hit reply on my BB, the from address shows up as my gmail address, not the professional address I want it to show. Is there a way to fix this?
On my Storm 2 - 9520 I cannot add an email account. I have a pop3 account with an ISP which I download my emails on my pc. When I try configure it on my new BB I get login errors. The error states cannot login to account, check all settings. I have checked and re-entered the settings dozens of times with no success.
I've had comcast POP3 email set up and working on K9 email since the phone came out. It has suddenly stopped working on my LG G4. My other 6 email accounts are still working perfectly on K9 (yahoo, att, iCloud and mindspring).
I can still download email normally on my Mac using MacMail. I can still download email on my Droid2 using the default email app (don't ask - I keep it to troubleshoot and play games).
I have installed and tested the default LG mail app, MyMail and they don't work. There have been comments on other email apps that they are not working.
Xfinity Connect works from my LG G4, but functions as a IMAP connection, and deletes email from the server when deleted on the phone, which is obviously NOT what I need.
