With much reluctance, I finally resigned my plain old cell phone and had to get a blackberry on the AT&T network.

I am having a wifi issue, and it is likely that the issue is just because the device is new to me. Hopefully some of you blackberry users here can help out.

Once I enabled the wifi function, the berry instantly detected the wifi here at work. I set it up, named it, etc. I can now turn off the cellular function, and still email, browse, etc.

At home, it detects the wifi. I set it up, named it, etc. However if I turn off the cellular function, it will not use my wifi.

Same at the airport.

There is one thing I noted, that may be the problem: The wifi at work is on AT&T internet. The other two are not.


Does AT&T have the device set to ONLY use their wifi?

If so, Will unlocking the phone solve this?



And since somebody will ask, the reason wifi is important to me is because I travel overseas from time to time. I want to be able to access email without roaming charges.

And if Skype would make a blackberry version, I could even make calls over the wifi. (Maybe I should exchange it for an iPhone.)
