Can anyone help me out with the Zain network Service books?

[Blackout12]

what are those?

[indidarkblu]

The Service books are the modules needed by blackberrys to surf the web , they are network specific. I have seen some posted for at&t and t-mo.

I have an unlocked storm and need to use it internationally with a Zain sim card.

Any ideas?

*Found under options> advanced options > service books*

If that carrier doesn't sell BBs, you'll NEVER find service books that work with that network. That's the problem with Blackberries... they require the carrier to have a provisioning partnership with RIM in order for the BB Data capabilities of the phone to work. That means most things like native browser, email, and pretty much any service that requires BIS/BES to function, won't without a service book. Some things like OperaMini can run over SOCKS if you have the right settings and you can use standard data on that carrier.

Sorry, that's just how it is... A Blackberry is NOT a Smartphone in the traditional sense of the word because the provisioning on them requires more then just carrier activation.

My network carrier do sell BB's. I have downloaded the Opera Min, but it cannot work as well.

Help with settings!

I have the generic service books for Zain. These are from Zain Nigeria, but I think they may work for any of the Zain networks, definitely worth a try.

stonecold,

Can you provide more information on this mobile carrier? (i.e. their website address, where their coverage is located, etc) I'm not familiar with them. Did you previously have a BlackBerry device of any model with this carrier?

[stonecoldfyu]

no i have never had service with them so i was curious about what every one else had to say. I do have them as of right now on a clone jap apple i phone but do not like the phone. Most of it is is japaneese and i dont understand it so he is getting me the storm in place of it. Do a search for simple mobile and you will see it i do not have enough post to put the link up.

[stonecoldfyu]

they have coverage across the USA according to there maps.

[stonecoldfyu]

I have a room mate that got his 9530 unlocked off of ebay and took it to the guy i deal with and they put him on there and thats how we found out they do not support the storms except for voice,text. But i have a 8350i bb on boost and only pay $50 a month and my wife wants that lmao.

Well a few things have to happen in order for BlackBerry Data to work on this network:

1. They have to support BlackBerry (overall)
2. To get a blackberry model that is unsupported to work, you'd have to copy service books from a blackberry model that IS supported by simply mobile.

If you are unsure about providers, you may want to try getting the storms flashed to metro pcs- I believe you can get BB data working on there.

send me the website for this "simply mobile" if you can.

[stonecoldfyu]

i have sent you a personal message with the address.

[stonecoldfyu]

they do support bb but just not the 9530 storm.

This company does not "officially" support blackberry. They probably told you that you can get internet on the bb device but they do not have a partnership with RIM for push email.
