Question Opera Mini on Vodafone Aust

Just installed Opera Mini on my 8310 (Voda AUS)

Does anyone know if this uses BIS/BIBS

I guess I will find out on the next bill, but I have a feeling it doesn't use WAP, even though it's not inside the Blackberry browser. As I can run things like google talk, facebook, world mate live etc without any extra costs.

Hi,

Many users have reported the when using Opera Mini via BIS the data is access via WAP and charged at an addition cost.

Thanks,

Gary

Not for me and I have an unlimited BIS plan from VF. Just make sure your APN is set to blackberry.net and that you have the latest opera mini installed.

I don't even have the APN set to anything; just changed Permissions on the latest version of Opera Mini and it runs really well.

I'm also on VF BIS and pretty sure it uses BIS now.

Let me know if you get a nasty surprise on your next vf bill as I also just got a 8310 on umlimited vf plan but unsure if using Opera Mini is going to get charged as an extra.

Well just got my first bill I noticed an extra $9.10 for using vodafone live. I guess this is where I was charged for surfing the net with Opera Mini?

wap will incur charges.

the voda live portal will also incur charges.

im with optus, my last bill hasnt shown any extra wap charges. i might have to use opera a little bit more and see if that changes
