    Hi,

    Recently managed to upgrade the OS fro my 8700g via link to Maxis. I’m not subscribe to any plan-BlackBerry (BES/BIS) nor MAXIS Unlimited Broadband & currently I’m register under Hotlink.

    Case: Tried to sign in to Yahoo Messenger & Google Talk (previously d/load from BlackBerry web page), unfortunately unable & there is a remarks ‘Data Services Unavailable’.

    Q: How to overcome this situation? Any setting to bypass ?

    Looking fwd for a positive answer.

    Thanks.
