I am in uruguay for a week, and to avoid roaming charges, i have a local sim (WITH BIS). i put it into my 9930, it says EDGE in capitals, CDMA US entries have disappeared from the HRT, replaced by GPRS UY. It only gives me BIS when I connect it to wifi. I have inserted the SIM into my 9700 and a local 8520, and it works fine.
how can i solve this?
It can be related to the frequency bands on your Blackberry 9930, if the carrier you got the BIS local with is using other bands for 3G speeds then those which your unlocked Blackberry is supporting then it will work with 2G EDGE, ask the carrier yu are using thier service.
Get your Blackberry service books updated with those that your local carrier can send you.
