Blackberry torch with chatr

[thug123456]

Hi i was wondering if the blackberry torch will work with chatr. right now i am with wind using the bold 9700 but i am getting the torch as a present so want to know if i can use it with chatr? does it have to be unlocked?

Yes, it will work on Chatr as long is it is either unlocked or locked to Rogers.

but chatr still doesn't have data right?

the torch would only work as a phone and wifi without BIS doesn't always work.

No bis on chatr means no bbm or a bunch of other things like app world. browsing will work fine along with the new fb beta that uses wifi.

Chatr finally added data to its $45 dollar package, however its only a paltry 100MB per month, so no downloading music or streaming video's, unless you want to start owing more money in added charges.

They should have at least 500MB!

But its still better than nothing at all, and you can use tonnes of bbm's, and facebook/twitter apps on the daily!

Not to mention at home or at work you have your wifi hookups, so its a step in the right direction for Chatr, to compete with the el cheapo/good quality giants Mobilicity/Wind, who have unlimited data in their zones for about the same price, just not with BBTorch unfortunately.

BBM, email and other BB services will NOT work as Chatr does not offer BIS services.

Fruvous is right, Chatr doesn't offer any Blackberry Internet Service. So the only thing you can do with a Blackberry device is web browsing...

boourns!

Yeah time to sell my torch then haha, I'm going to mobilicity!

Or try Fido prepaid $39 for talk/text/voicemail and the $20 addon for blackberry social media.
but that $60!

Mobilicity seems like the way to go, with unlimited everything in the zones.

Hey I realise this was posted quite some time ago, but can anyone confirm this?

Would I be able to do web browsing with a Blackberry device with one of the Chatr data plans?

Also has anyone tested if WhatsApp works over this?

Cheers

You would be able to do browsing but not with the default Blackberry browser which goes through RIM's servers for compression and requires BIS. You would have to download a 3rd party browser.

I haven't tested WhatsApp but I've tested Touched and it works via a standard data plan.
