csmart 472 Report post Posted May 15, 2012 Yes you can. Whatsapp need net connection and hence GPRS or wifi is required for it. BIS is different. In simpler words, if you can browse the net, you can use Whatsapp. Settings are totally different issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omitav 2 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 This works quite well on 9300 GSM without BIS/ BES. You will need to enable legacy service books, install a service book, set apn. Attached is the files you will need.This procedure is not recommended if you're already on BIS, since it will replace your email CMIME service books and cause your push mail to fail. Now if only I could get data working on my CDMA Pearl 8130 :-(, i'd be a happy man Enable BlackBerry Browser without BIS BES.pdf Browser_via_TCP_all_network_beta_V1.1.rar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
