Solve Data Plan Error In Blackberry

Edited by Shiza Ahmed, Mohsin, Charmed, Eng and 16 others

I have been using Blackberry for almost a month, overall performance, battery life and especially its keypad is quite awesome, way better than my previous Galaxy S2. When it comes to networking, superb signals even in low frequency areas, fast internet speed even in 2G. But what really teasing me is the data plan service error, whenever it tries to open Facebook or BlackBerry world it gives me an error, On Facebook it is like "You are currently on a service that does not support this application, please connect to a WiFi network or contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan". And on BlackBerry World "BB world is having problem connecting to BB world server, verify your network connection and try again" All these happen while I am connected to my WiFi network. So, I tried something and it worked pretty well it worked permanently for me but if you still have such problems try it again.

Questions and Answers

I can't open all my applications in my BlackBerry Torch 9800?

When I open one of my applications this message always comes up; "you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application, please connect to a WiFi network or contact your service provider to upgrade your data". I have tried: I tried to delete the advanced settings and turn it off and remove the battery. I think it was caused by: I don't know, I think every BlackBerry user suffer from this problem

This is an issue with your Carrier Account. Your Blackberry Data Plan for Internet has to be enabled. Contact your carrier to correct your situation. For now, use Hotspot by going into Settings>Options > Advanced > Browser, set it to Hotspot. Once you have saved your selection you should be able to install the app. Now, this still will not completely solve the data error with your carrier though so you will need to contact them.

Apps not working on data connection in blackberry?

I have 3G internet bundle, my browser is working perfectly, but my apps are not opening

Even though you have the internet bundle, it must be enabled to use apps like social media Facebook for instance. You will have to contact your carrier as you pay extra to have the bundle that allows apps to work over WiFi but not the 3G network.

When I open my Facebook, it says that you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application?

Your data plan has to be enabled to support Social Media. Blackberry and carriers have yet to get their acts together to make the data packages seemless with all apps. Use the HotSpot method to use your Facebook for now until the carrier can update your package and resolve this issue with you.

My device just reset on its own, or maybe I press something and after that my contacts are gone. I have tried: I tried the I care data recovery and BB Protect, but nothing happened
