Turn our phone off, wait a minute or so, and turn it back on, this fixes 99.99% of the problems, assuming of course there are no network issues in your area

The $39.99 media unlimited package is the wrong package. You need the $39.99 PDA Connect package. The good news is that price now includes 1500 texts, which is didn't back in December.

You know I had the same problem but I had the PDA Personal Pro which included the 1500 text. When I called ATT cust service to trouble shoot it turned out that it was the connection settings.

*FIX* (as given to me)
Go into IE - Click on Menu and Options then Connections. Make sure that Automatic Detection is UNCHECK and that your connection is set to WAP Network. This should fix the problem. Just make sure you power cycle your phone after and before you try to access anything. You probably don't have to but this way the settings take right. All other settings will stay the same but the IE settings.

Hope this helps. Oh, by the way the Video site has been down for about a month or so now for the BJ. I haven't been able to get t...

If you give me your number I'll fix your plan for you. Just because you got a rep who doesn't know their job doesn't mean I'm wrong.

you might very well be right, infact i know your right..but the whole thing of blackberry's needing the blackberry plan PDA's needing PDA plan, is just not true..media max works for all of them, so long as you dont say anything to the store.

It does work. There's no question about that either. It violates the Terms of Use though. Since I sell it, of course I can't advocate that. Also, they can check your IMEI even if it's not on your account. Read the prepaid thread. You're taking a gamble on when they'll catch you and how much you'll have to pay when they do.

Since you're already paying $39.99, the only downside to changing your plan over is you'd go from unlimited text to 1500. If you need more than that... that sucks. If now, I'd highly suggest doing it.

nope. blackberry is the exception. it will not work for internet or picture messages without the blackberry plan. pda's can get away with a different plan other than pda, but not recommended.

ok a couple of things. Yes you might have the wrong package blah blah blah. they will still let you use the internet you just might get a 1000 dollar bill. hahaha. The blackjack is notorious for messing up on media net and cv. You have to open the browsers, hit menu, tools, then options, then connections, make sure the box that says auto detect is checked, then make sure the option under network options says wap. then reboot phone and it should all work. i have done this about twenty times in the last month already it just an issue with the blackjack itself.
