A community for collectors & appreciators of old mobile phones. July 15th is QWERTY Day!
Hi, I just got an unlocked Blackberry 9900. Everything works fine like calls and Sms but I can't access the internet not on cellular not on wifi, If I use cellular network it says, ' Browsing on cellular network is not included as part of your plan, to browse web you must use wifi or contact your service provider to change your plan, and When I use Wi-Fi it says, ' unable to connect using the current security settings, please contact your service provider, Can somebody please help. My Location is India and I use Airtel Network

Early BlackBerry had the internet locked to BIS for BlackBerry Internet Services, which has been dead for years. I think the only thing that works on Wifi only is the web browser. That was my experience on a Curve 8520.
Similar issues exist if you use a SideKick today.
I can't use it even on wifi? Is something wrong with my wifi?
Is it not connecting to Wifi at all or is the browser failing? the browser was quite outdated even when it was new. It couldn't even do YouTube. By now the SSL certs have long since expired.
About all you'll be able to do is use it as a phone, camera, offline MP3 player, and SMS platform. The Email, App World, overall Internet apps are long dead. But hey it's a neat phone to use in public if folks appreciate it and don't make fun of you like they did when I rocked an HTC Thunderbolt in 2020.
If you really want to use the browser (perhaps for quick Google searches on the go) you might have to find an older router at a Goodwill that allows WEP and not WPA and has a version of Wifi that supports such an older phone, since I doubt this model worked on N or above. I could be mistaken. My Sony PSP wouldn't even connect unless I had a WEP only network or open network.
I guess you got it, maybe my router settings are the issue. Its connecting to Wi-Fi but I can't browse any this. Is there any way I can install Opera Mini via pc or something? Some said that I can still use opera mini on this
I am not sure but I don't think BlackBerries were Java phones? My Curve only allowed apps from BlackBerry App World. These phones were considered 'secure' to a fault back in their day.
Get Opera Mini by visiting m.opera.com on the BB, or clicking here on a PC and transferring via SD or Bluetooth. Reply if it doesn't work.
I downloaded it on my android and Transferred with via Bluetooth, can't Install it in BB it says, ' 907 Invalid COD HTTP error 500: Internal server erro.
Connect to Wi-Fi first. Can you access HTTP sites like williamsmobile.co.uk in BB Browser?
No I can't, I am home WiFi
this is what it says
You added 'm' at the end.

Its working on WiFi now, Can I also use normal 2G 3G with this method?
