Alltel 8830, Rogers sim, Canada...not working
- CrackBerry KevinCrackBerry FounderPicked up an Alltel BlackBerry 8830 in Florida this week. Bought the phone outright, so never actually activated it with Alltel on a plan.
Took it back to Canada, and put in my Rogers SIM card thinking it should work immediately (isn't that the point of the device?). I'm getting an Activation Required message. Under Options > Advanced > SIM my phone number is there, but regardless of the mode I put the phone in (GSM, Global), it doesn't seem to be picking up Rogers.
Does something have to happen on Alltel's end for the device to kick in? Or do I need to put the device pin into my Roger's BIS for it to get picked up on the network? Any advice would be great... I'm a complete 8830 newb and am doing this in an unconventional way.
