    Hello all, I currently live In Europe for about 10 months and have activated a local sim(with data) and am having trouble connecting to the internet!! I've tried everything including adding settings under the APN for my mobile provider. I always have the lower case gprs in the top left corner. Can someone please help me to activate my internet!! Thanks in advance.

    Data will not work with out of country SIMs on an 8830. That's because the data plan on those cards are not RIM provisioned data plans. There's a difference. If you want Blackberry data you will need to use Sprint's out of country plan.... to my knowledge.

    Well I was under the impression that I would be able to use it because I thought I read some other people were able to use it. If anyone has been able to do it please let me know. Thanks

    Yes, people do it, but with Voice only. No "prepay" SIM can be provisioned for BB service to my knowledge.

    Well I know prepaid cards cannot activate data but I dont have a prepaid card. Im actually on a plan and have data included. The answer could be the same as before but just wanted to clarify that I dont have a prepaid card.
