Hookt without data plan? Do you need a data plan to use Hookt?
Okay, so I've been hearing about this new messaging app that is becoming popular for blackberries and androids etc.
I have a blackberry yes, but due to parental complications, I no longer have social add-ons. I understand that social add-ons did use "data", but now that I don't have them, I turn my data usage OFF. I aslo don't have an actual data plan the provides you with web usage.
So my question is, "Can I use Hookt on Wifi? Or do I need to be able to have some sort of data?"
Help is greatly appreciated :)

Yes, you need to have a data plan if your phone is not connected to a wifi hotspot at the moment.
From the hookt FAQ:
"Hookt Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you would use for email and web. As such, if you would normally pay cellular data roaming charges ... for web and email usage, Hookt would be no different. However, Hookt would be free to use over a Wi-Fi connection. To confirm that your data roaming is disabled, go into your iPhone Settings, and select the “General” option, then “Network”. Here there will be a “Data Roaming” option that you want to make sure it is set to “Off”."
