Help: How to use GPRS Service
Hello All,
I am new to Blackberry, just got a 8100 Pearl. The problem is the phone keep detecting "edge" in lowercase, but my SIM Card is now only registered for "GPRS". Why is it so? I put my SIM into a Windows Mobile, GPRS work great.
Please help.
Mine is a T-Mobile unit.
Help is appreciated. - 04-16-2007, 01:04 AM #2

I am not on TMobile so wont comment to much, but there are other users here using the service and might have the answer - 04-16-2007, 10:03 AM #3
Welcome to Crackberry.com!
Like Tmag said, just want to confirm you have a BB data plan, and secondly where are you located? - 04-17-2007, 12:28 AMThread Author #4
My BB Plan is not activated yet, it only can be done next week. I thought without a BB Plan, GPRS will work as well, guess I am wrong.
Looking through the Firmware of the unit, it has something like 4.2 (EDGE) version. So I guess this unit can only do EDGE data instead of GPRS data.
Uh...I am trying to download the BB Desktop 4.2 and seems like the BB website only have the Device Manager 4.2. Try 4.1 and it took forever to download the software. Anyone know there is a mirror link to their software, BB website is too slow. - 04-17-2007, 12:39 AM #5
Yep, no data until you get the BB Data Plan activated.
It is an EDGE capable device as long as you have EDGE service in your area.
As far as a mirror site, I don't know of any.. but you don't want Device Manager, you want Desktop Manager and you can get it here:
