thanks
My Storm was registered on the Vodafone network (I had to use a VF SIM card to unlock it)
However as soon as my BIS service was activated on O2 I received the message that the handset had been registered with the O2 network.
I went to the O2 BIS site and could register my handset without any issues and set up an account.03-17-09 12:28 PMLike 0 - i have a storm that i have bought it from the ebay and i have unlock it and currently i am using it with o2.but i cannot register with o2 bis because it says that is register with a different carrier. also i cannot set up the email because the only option is the enterprise and also i cannot see the maps?

On your Storm Go to options>advanced options>host routig table>click BB key & select Register Now
Then go into O2's BIS site & set up your e-mail accounts & send service books.03-17-09 02:02 PMLike 0 -
- Hi
I'm currently using a Pearl 8100 on o2 provided by my work. This is also integrated into our Corporate M/S email system.
I'm seriously considering buying an unlocked 9500 Storm on Ebay where I've seen some good prices. My company will not switch to Vodafone for me so this is why i have to go out and buy my own device. However I have some questions I wonder someone maybe able to answer.
Will my o2 account work ok on the unlocked Storm ?
Will I get 3G or just GPRS/Edge?
Will the corporate email still work on the Storm ?
Will GPS work?
Will Internet work ?
Do you think I will need to contact o2 to be switched to the correct data plan ?
sorry for all the question and I must appear very naive... I'm sure there are more questions I will need answered before I commit to bidding on one!
Look forward to your help as I'm very keen on replacing my much loved Pearl...
Thanks04-03-09 08:37 AMLike 0 - I've just got a storm from Vodafone and I'm waiting for it to get unlocked from a local mobile accessories/repairs store so I can use it with my O2 contract. I was about to ask all the things above, just wanted clarification that there will be minimum problems with using my blackberry on the O2 network, I got in touch with vodafone about unlocking it with the pretence that I would be travelling a lot and needed to use it on a european sim - they didnt buy it! so is it just the vodafone specific apps that don't work - but internet and browsing is fine, say using facebook and checking my e-mail?! And also, will I have to edit my settings for internet use or will that occur automatically as soon as my O2 sim card can operate on my phone?! I'm a little naive with it all - I'm sure that much is obvious. Thanks.04-03-09 08:48 AMLike 0
- My O2 GPRS Sim works fine in my unlocked Storm, no 3G though as our corporate contract with O2 needs management approval to switch to the new tariff, and I don't want to risk this. Everything else is fine, internet, email, blackberry apps store, facebook, yahoo... etc etc04-03-09 08:54 AMLike 0

company policy here is not to have 3G due to extra cost04-03-09 10:15 AMLike 0 -
rather keep it quiet04-03-09 11:21 AMLike 0 - Thank you for you help! I e-mailed O2 today too just to clarify that everything would work how it should, good news! - they said they'll give me a free bolt on for blackberry browsing, as I currently have an unlimited web bolt on with my current contract, very pleased! I think I already have a 3G sim so everything should work ok, I hope I don't have a bout of bad luck and something goes tits up?! :S
Oh!! Before I forget, I don't have a memory card with my Storm, in order to store media on it, do I need to get a mem.card or can I just save files to the phone as a device?! I popped the BB desktop manager on my laptop and noticed there were settings to save files on the phone as a device and wasnt sure if I still need a memory card.... I think I've confused myself here?!
