Issues with BB bought from Ebay!!
Hi, I am new to this forum and BB but its incredible to find all this information in the same place.
I bought my BB from ebay a couple of days ago, it was listed as new and unlocked. I verified that it is unlocked from the SIM card section through Options->Advanced Options-->Sim Card. (All options are disabled)
I do not have a contract since I will be traveling soon and wanted to buy the SIM card with BB plan at my destination. As of now I only have the phone.
My problem is that I tried creating a BIS account to verify if the phone was ready to be used once I got to my destination. Once I tried creating the account through the AT&T site I received a message that "This BB device is registered with another carrier".
I thought it might be one of these two problems: 1) I do not have a BB plan yet or 2) my PIN has not been released.
I emailed the seller asking for the carrier to which this phone was registered and if he can ask that carrier to release the PIN but I haven't receive an answer yet.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!
