ive been doing alot of research, i just traded my sidekick for this blackberry curve 3800,it was a ATT phone that has been unlocked, and i have t-mobile i was wondering if t-zone is enough to web browse, and what program should i use for the 3800 to get aim onto my phone i have unlimited texting so i rather use a program that takes up the texting thanks for anyones help, im going crazy with this phone! haha but its nice-Tony

The issue probably lies in the fact that the 3800 doesn't exist.

The curve series is 83xx. And no, you need a data plan - not just t zones.

Honey, read your post. You said 3800.

At any rate, you need the data plan.

Sorry about that. I fixed the post

[odangdiggity]

so i still have to connect my phone to the computer? because forsome reason the computer doesnt recognize the phone... =( i dont have software or anything .. what a bad day hahaha

[amazinglygraceless]

Yes you do. Those are not Over The Air (OTA) files.

You need to have (A) Desktop Manager and (B) your Operating
System installed on your computer for any of this to work

The OS i can't link to as there is no 8300 listed on the T-Mobile site

T-Mobile Desktop Software

[odangdiggity]

whats the difference between the 3810 and 3800 im gonan try to dl the 3810 software anyways haha

[amazinglygraceless]

Don't waste your time. You cannot load the OS for the 8310
onto a 8300.

OS's are device specific.

Thread title edited to say 8300

[odangdiggity]

i added aim to my phone but itsn ot working why!!!

[amazinglygraceless]

Try going to your carrier BIS site and resend your
Service Book

And bear in mind I did say this may not work. It really is hard
trying to accomplish stuff like this without a data plan.

[morales0416]

Have you registered the phone with tmobile, by calling and telling them you have a bb? If not do that, and then resend your service books by calling your provider and asking them to resend your service books go directly to BB support!

Hope that works and GL!

lolol... this is an att blackberry thats unlocked, i found a guy on craigslist willing to trade for my sidekick slide.. so i dont know what i should do

[amazinglygraceless]

Contact the seller and make sure they have released their account
If they haven't you won't be able to setup the account and
resend your service book.

[odangdiggity]

what account are you talking about? i dont think they have an account they are using tmobile also so each phone is link to an acct itself?

[amazinglygraceless]

Each BB is linked to the users account by it's PIN and IMEI.

If the seller has not released those from his account, you will
not be able to set up yours. No account can be setup if a PIN
and IMEI are active on another account.

Which is why I suggested you contact them. This happens quite
a lot with used phones.
