Hello,

Do you mean you would like to disable the data connection?

Hi,

yes, i would like to disable the data connection(gprs).

I don't need it at the moment, so don't want to get connected to gprs w/o knowing/accidentally and end up paying high mobile bills.

Can you advice how to disable gprs?

Thanks in advance!

Sure I can! Please follow the steps below:

From the home screen on the BlackBerry click Options > Mobile Network and then change Data Services to Off.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick and effective reply.

I have off the "data services".

By offing the "data services", does that means the wifi option is also disabled? 

[TheTech]

Wi-Fi should still be functioning.

It SHOULD be functioning.

But the FACT is, it is NOT functioning the moment you turn the Data Services: OFF.

HTH.

Go into settings, mobile network, and select data services "Off When Roaming"

This will allow data services to still work when connected to a wi fi but automatically disables it when on a roaming network.

You can leave this setting like this all the time if you want.

With data services turned off you can still use Wi-Fi to browse the internet. You will not be able to access services such as email or BlackBerry Messenger and other application. Certain 3rd  applications may allow the use of Wi-Fi only without data services.

Dear Blackberry Technical Advisor,

If Data Services turned off, you CAN NOT use the wifi to browse the internet.

This is confirm on my device. I tried many times.

 Is there any difference with the setting on different country?

Thanks.
