Hi so i just got a refurbished blackberry 8320 and its beautiful but the only problem is when i put my sim card or any other sim card on it i wont get EDGE i just get edge but this is the weird part, the internet explorer DOES work but the blackberry messenger refuses to send or receive any information as i tried to add people and it didnt work! ive tried EVERYTHING i know but nothing! i opened an account here to see if somebody could help me! i will GREATLY LOVE IT!! please!
Do you have a BLACKBERRY data plan? IE: BIS or BES. If you don't, you won't get much of anything to work properly, especially BB branded apps (e-mail, BBM, aim, yahoo, facebook, etc...)
If you don't, you'll need to contact your carrier to have it added to your plan.
sorry to be the ball buster, but youre in the wrong forums. this is the 8830 forums.
and the browser you are using is the WAP browser, so you are getting charged per use.
a Rat has mentioned. call your carrier and add a data plan if you dont already have one. then they will send your service books and get everything up and running.
i mean i have my own blackberry bold 2 and i bought this for my brother, i tested it out with my sim and it wont work i tested it with a different carrier and same problem
yes im sorry im kind of new at this, i dont exactly know what bis is but my question is why when i try my sim card on another phone it works! and on this curve it doesnt?
You need to understand that even though your carrier has your info, RIM does too. And they need to be associated.
Sure I can take my sim, throw it in a let's say Nokia, boom! It works. I CAN NOT take my sim and throw it in a refurbished 8320 and expect it to work without associating the IMEI or PIN to my existing account. And I said, your using the WAP browser and not the blackberry browser so if you do not have WAP data you will be paying per use.
You need to login into your BIS account and change it!
BIS=Blackberry Internet Service btw.
