Only thing I could think of to do would be have a friend respond to another ad. Then when he meets, demand your money back. May work. Might not.06-26-12 08:41 AMLike 0 - What is considered data? So, BBM won't work, email will or will not work? What about browsing on the network? Is that all that won't work?06-26-12 04:33 PMLike 0

You won't be able to use BBM, email, most data driven apps, and any browsing will be very constrained to the hotspot browser probably over wifi.
My advice is to report this to police and let them run with it. If there's a chance of picking up an offender with multiple stolen phones it has a chance of interesting them - mainly because where there are stolen phones there are usually more serious crimes. Whatever you do, this is not the time to consider street justice.06-26-12 04:45 PMLike 0 - You have a very smart looking dumbphone.

BBM
email
internet browsing (not wifi)
data apps
Is that it? Anything missing? I don't have a data plan anyways, just a BBM plan. so the only thing I'm missing out is BBM. So it's not THAT bad, gotta look on the bright side always right?
Thx!06-26-12 06:16 PMLike 0 - In my years of being on the CB forums, it has been really, really rare to see a post about a
BB's PIN actually being blocked by RIM. It takes some time and patience to get through to
RIM sometimes.06-26-12 06:20 PMLike 0 - This absolutely sucks OP, sorry to hear about the situation. This is my number one fear with buying a Blackberry used from someone, without the PIN# being in good standing, you are screwed on all data services... Not fun.06-26-12 06:27 PMLike 0
- Picked up my 9700 off ebay for $75, and will soon be getting my 9810 for $210. That's why one buys used phones....because I cannot afford the bills for a new one, and do not want to be locked in when bb 10 is on the horizon.06-28-12 03:32 AMLike 0
