    Hi! I have an unlocked Blackberry Storm 2 9550 on Verizon Wireless in the states, which I recently brought over to the UK, where I inserted a Vodafone SIM Card and purchased a data plan and Blackberry Services. According to Vodafone/mobile phone stores in the UK, all data services should be working; however, all applications requiring data or GPS are not working. The only things that are working are the phone calls, BBM, emails, and internet browser. Has anyone else experienced this problem and/or found a solution?

    For example, when I try to access the Google Maps app, it says: "Network Unavailable: This application requires a data connection, and some Blackberry devices require reconfiguration to work properly."
    Or Twitter will say, "You are currently on a service plan that does not support this application. If you want to use this application, please connect to a Wi-Fi network or contact your service provider to update your data plan."

    I have data so why don't these apps work?? Help!! Thanks!

    It says:

    __ APN Settings Enabled (box is checked)
    APN: emgsm.vzw3g.com
    __APN Authentication Enabled (box is unchecked)

    Username for APN:
    Password for APN:

    ^(don't know what those would be for)

    Tried changing a few of these settings around but it didn't seem to do much, although I don't have a username/password for APN as far as I know...

    Don't worry bout the user/pass ..delete the apn emgsm.vzw3g.com

    you might need to get the apn settings from vodafone
