Usining wifi and not my bb plan on blackberry 8320

Hi everyone, i have been searching around the net for a long time and couldnt find an answer. I have a blackberry 8320 on the rogers network in canada. I have a blackberry plan (300 mb). I want to use the wifi on my phone to surf the net instead of my blackberry plan sometimes. I have my wifi turned on...can connect to the router (i see the SSID) but i am getting a yellow circle instead of a green check mark. When i try to use the browser it wont' work...says unable to connect and the wifi symbol is greyed out. Note I turned my data off when trying to use the wifi. When i have my data turned on the wifi symbol turns black and the browser works...am i using my data plan though? Hope this isnt too confusing... :S Im on a blackberry BIS plan for 300 mb...how much do most ppl use a month... i dont surf much, just use msn and a few programs? Hope someone can help!!!! thanks!

1. Hi...Yes you can use the WiFi to connect to your router or any place that provide free internet access. Do you have a password key to access your router? If i was near your house with my laptop, I should not able to access internet using your router unless you give me a password key. this could easily be the case. Go to the nearsest BB store because some BB's are diferent than others.
2. You do need to leave the Data Services set to On in order for Wi-Fi to work. In order to use just Wi-Fi for browsing you have to set the default browser to HotSpot Browser or Wi-Fi Browser in the Options > Advanced Options > Browser section. Once you do that it should only use data via Wi-Fi.
