How to Use Wi-Fi on a BlackBerry Curve
Wi-Fi is a term that covers all wireless networks using the standards from the IEEE 802.11 specification. Wi-Fi allows devices to connect without wires and exchange information much faster than they can with other wireless networking standards, like Bluetooth. At the core of each Wi-Fi network is a wireless router or antenna, and your BlackBerry will have to be within range of the Wi-Fi signal in order to use the network. Using a Wi-Fi connection will allow you to use the Internet on your BlackBerry without using up your data plan's capacity.
