Got a wee problem, I have just bought a new unopened Blackberry 8100 Pearl which is locked on 02. I already have an Uk Pay as you go 02 sim card which i want to continue to use.
Everything is fine, apart from, at the top of the screen its says that 'Data Connection refused' wonder what this means.
Also I cant set up an email address or browse the web, any ideas how i can go about it, tried the 02 site but everything relates to the pay monthly tarriffs!
Hope you's can help!
is there anything at all i can do, unlocking? changng provider?
Unfortunately you cant use a BB Data Plan on Pay As You Go. However you can use a Pay As You Go Data Plan if you have a contract SIM. Its about �2-54 per mb.
YOu could always take your number across to a sim only contract and aa the data plan for �10 per month for unlimited usage.
To me if you're getting a BlackBerry, you might as well get a 'contracted account'...
I remember back in the day, in London, with Pay-as-You-Go, if you lost a phone, or something you could'nt get your number back you had to get a new one, and you couldn't port numbers...
Is that still the case? If yes, it's not worth the hassle, just get a 'cheap' contracted account...
