I tried to set up a blackberry account, so i googled "blackberry email set up" and I chose a page wwhich asked me for details of my phone.
I followed the instructions and was told I had set up an email account successfully!
But I dont know who I did this with and I should have done it with vodafone New Zealand as that's where I live.
They says they can't do it now cos the handset has already been registered...somewhere else in the world.
Dumb. Stupid..yes yes.
Point is - does anyone know how I can wipe the slate clean?..is there a central database, or is my blackberry email account forever to be pointlessly registered with some telco company, somewhere.
You say you don't know who you registered with, so try to use your browser's history to get back to the site. Then look in the address URL and delete any of the address after the domain extension (.com or .au .info or whatever) and you should get to the website's homepage.
Then look for a link to "contact us" etc, and see if they can somehow unregister the phone. It's probably not in their interest to keep it registered with them if you're not paying them any rental, so they probably (hopefully) will.
If you google exactly what you did before there's a fair chance that you may be able to follow your previous steps, long shot perhaps but worth a try. Maybe youve tried this already.
Have you tried logging into Vodaone NZ's site? What error message do you get when you do?

That's good advice. It's what I often find myself doing to get back to a page I didn't bookmark. You'll need to have the exact same search phrase though, as one word difference will likely filter out your target, but you may be lucky if it's a popular search.
I got my BlackBerry used and the PIN had already been registered to BlackBerry from the former user so it would not allow me to set up email. I went to the store and they gave me a number to call and in 20 minutes they had my phones history cleared and I was able to register my email. Maybe they can do that to yours?
Go to the store and ask.
