BlackBerry Forums Support Community - View Single Post - AT&T: Question regarding 8900 without BIS

Island Roots · 12-26-2008, 08:02 PM

I am looking to get the Blackberry 8900 once it comes out on the AT&T network, however I have a few lingering questions.

I would most likely be forced at point of purchase to get a Blackberry data plan, which I would then cancel shortly thereafter (leaving me with only a voice plan and no data plan).

Will I still be able to browse the Internet via WiFi (e.g. from my wireless network at home)? Also, will I be able to use the email program on the 8900 when I'm connected to a WiFi network?

Or will I be required to have a Blackberry data plan in order to use any of the Internet functions, even over WiFi?

Since I spend most of my day within WiFi hotspots, I am hoping to get away without having a data plan.
