If your device normally connects to a CDMA network and your device supports international roaming, check that your
device is in roaming mode and that your micro SIM card is correctly inserted into your device.
Wi-Fi connections
A Wi-Fi network connection is one way to get data services on your BlackBerry device, but unlike using the mobile network,
using Wi-Fi doesn't add charges to your data plan. Your device is designed to try to use saved Wi-Fi networks before it tries
to use the mobile network for basic data functions such as using the Internet or downloading apps. You can leave Wi-Fi
turned on so that when you're in range of a saved Wi-Fi network, your device can connect to it automatically.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your BlackBerry device saves the network information. The next time you're within
range of the saved Wi-Fi network, if Wi-Fi is turned on, your device connects automatically.
