HI guys..... well I am dissapointed with the BB I wont touch one again. I put my sim card into my mom old BB and now find that inorder to use MXIT or FB, I am going to have to pay R60 a month... I think that that is super outrageous. Rant over........ :( :( :(

Are you certain? It should still be able to connect to the internet, it just won't connect using BIS.

R59 for unlimited internet is outrageous? Did you think bandwidth would be free?
 
I dont feel i should pay R60 to use mxit and FB. I dont care about the BBM.... just want mxit and FB. I called 808 and they say I have to pay BIS service. I already have a 100MB data bundle.......

Better give your mum her phone back. :o

BIS/BES is an integral part of all Blackberry phones, it always has been. People liken it to petrol in a car.
 
Erm i have a BB, i can use mxit/whatsapp/facebook via operamini, granted u cant get the facebook app because it only uses BIS. U need to enabled a couple settings(the apn etc). Dont ask me i cant remember what i did!
 
I misunderstood then hahaha.. OOPS.... I wanna check the APN on the phone quickly but where are settings. I cant find then

Change your apn to internet and everything but the push functions and BB specific things will work, mxit itself does not work on bis anyway so don't see y u would have any problems there, when i ditched my berry i was on 5.9.4 and was still paying to sue it, not sure about the new v6.

Besides listening to anything mtn support staff says is about as smart as shooting urself in the head.

Come on man, they think 10GB qualifies as uncapped internet and they are planning to offer the playbook on 2Gb and unlimited usage packages. For crying out loud the dam thing does not even support sim cards, how the hell do they propose that u use the bundle?
 
OK thanks but at the same time, I cant find settings on the phone....... where does it ay setting?
