Amazon purchased BB is stolen!
Hello All,
I'm writing because I just found out that the 8320 I bought through Amazon stopped working a few weeks ago. The BB Messenger wasn't working, and the data plan was on/off. I had recently been experiencing some trouble with the O.S, so I updated it, and now the data plan won't even work. I called my carrier and apparently 2 weeks ago (before I updated the O.S), the PIN was listed as stolen, so I can't even register it with any data plan. They cannot tell me WHO listed it as stolen, but it wasn't them, so they told me to call my seller.
My question is, is there a possibility someone may have misreported a PIN letter or IMEI and thats why this is happening? I'm calling Amazon and they don't want to take responsibility, nor the 3rd party seller who advertised the product. Who can I call to verify the PIN listed as stolen? Does RIM have some sort of hotline? I've been searching with no success :( Maybe the cellphone isn't stolen and someone mistyped a letter, or for some reason automatically reported my PIN as working. I say this because I had been able to use data services (including BBMessenger) for 2 - 3 months before it stopped working.
Oh, and a word of advice, NEVER PURCHASE A CELLPHONE THROUGH AMAZON.
Thanks,
Alex.
