Do you think this is a dodgy BlackBerry?
Hi :)
As you probably know I've just bought a refurb 9780, I'm starting to wonder if it's faulty. It is my first BlackBerry, so I haven't a clue.
I've tried 2 SIM cards in it, one GiffGaff, which is useless. And my Virgin one which doesn't seem to be doing much. I don't have BlackBerry services or anything yet, I don't know if this will make any difference. GiffGaff are saying the SIM is fine and that it's a BlackBerry problem, which I doubt.
Also just tried the charger supplied and it doesn't work at all. It's now charging in my mum's blackberry compatible charger no problem, not the BlackBerry one I was supplied with. I also suspect the call volume to be a bit low, this has improved somewhat on the Virgin SIM.
Am I having all these problems simply because I don't have BlackBerry services? will it come to life?
Or is it something else, faulty or something? or a foreign one or something?
Not sure what to do as don't think the shop would do a refund. I've got a warranty if it's faulty or anything.
I'm so disappointed, I wanted my first BlackBerry experience to be better than this. I thought I'd just put my SIM in and away I'd go.

Hi, Sorry to hear about your shaky experience with your refurbished 9780.
There could be several things responsible for the odd behavior your 9780 is exhibiting.
You should first try a working and up to date sim card, and see what happens.
However I think the safest bet is for you to return it and get another one if possible because it is refurbished. Lot of people think they can repair a blackberry because they watched a you tube vid. So unless it was professionally refurbished it could have lots of issues.
If you end up keeping it, send me a private message and Ill try to trouble shoot it for you.
