I have recently purchased my first BB a 8820. I have had it unlocked but I dont get any option for setting up a new email account in the Setup Menu. Only option is for company based emails.

Is this something to do with the local service provider??

I'm having the same issue with an 8130

Yes. You need to have a data plan with your provider.
Then click on the E-mail settings icon and the browser will open to the carriers website where it will walk you through the setup.

FYI I had to register my phone at blackberry.com to get the emails back. The PIN was never switched over. It's a very simple fix.
