    First day... you need to give it a day or two for your provider to activate your data plan... at least that is what we usually have to do over on the other side of the pond (the US)... although you might want to call your provider and ask them just to be sure how long it takes to active your data plan.

    No we do not. Google Maps and BB Maps work just fine on our branded devices. Load the ribbon file to see the bb maps icon or you can use Poynt with another option to launch bb maps being quicklaunch.

    OP, can you use applications like email, FB or Twitter? If they work it is not an account setup problem.

    It's pretty common knowledge that ATT blocks mapping programs so the end users have to buy their GPS program via monthly service.

    any who as fatboy said, and i looked over, if the phone is on day one of service, you might need to wait up to 72 hours for your phone to officially become active.

    Wrong. WE block no applications. And yes I used CAPS on WE.

    Again WE do NOT block map applications. In fact read more on this tops as WE never blocked BB Maps. The app has always been there and working fine. The icon could always be installed; it just was not there by default. Other carriers block apps 100% forcing subs to use their paid programs. We do not.
