    Newbie to crackberry.com and to a blackberry phone. I got the bb 8130 from VZW L.A. about a week ago. Does it really matters that top corner of my phone by where the reception level is indicated, the "EV" is gone. It only shows 1x. I stop getting email about a day ago and cant go on the web on the phone.

    How can I get it the EV back?

    Thanks

    First try a battery pull. With your phone on, remove the battery for 30 seconds, then put it back in.

    You might also try resending your service books...

    Can someone explain how this works? I just call *228, and it updates the service?

    Yep. Listen to the options and select option 2. It reprograms your phone and updates roaming capabilities. When I bought the phone the service rep said I should do this once a month. I haven't because VZW reps really don't know too much about their products but once in a while the reprogramming helps.
