I recently configure my Unlocked  BlackBerry (BB) Pearl 8100 to Use Internet Without the Data Plan.

If you have already gone through some of the websites for using internet on unlocked BlackBerry Phone you might have seen that mostly people are telling you to have the opera mini on the phone and provide the APN of your mobile service provider and you can access the internet on your unlocked BlackBerry Handset.If the trick works for you but still the problem is that you cannot access the other services & web-based functions like BlackBerry Messenger, facebook etc on your phone. In order to have the full access to the BlackBerry web-based functions you should have the Service Book on your phone for this.

Service Book can be find in the BlackBerry handset in the Options>Advanced Options>Service Book. Contrary to other phones BlackBerry phones require service book to connect with server and to perform web-based functions like push email etc.In order to have the Internet, you have to install the service book on your unlocked BB handset.For this, Step by step procedure is explained under  ;
