    Hi,

    I think you're calling the wrong number. To get my PAYG Pearl working I called 450. You'll need to top-up first before you can talk to an advisor as that costs 25p. When you do talk to them, ask them to add the Blackberry service subscription which will cost you �5.

    You'll then get a text telling you to turn the phone on/off. Once done, go to BlackBerry Internet Service:

    BlackBerry Internet Service

    and register your device and setup your emails. Once it is actived you'll get an email saying "Welcome to the blackberry wireless network" and your gprs / edge will go into caps lettering

    GPRS is the standard data service over the mobile network. EDGE is the faster version and only available in certain areas. You won't be able to use either unless it's in caps lettering.
