Well, I purchased my Blackberry Pearl off of eBay (might have been my first mistake). I use it with my T-Mobile carrier. When I got it, the guy I got it from still had his e-mail account registered to the Yahoo! Go program, so I did the "wipe handheld" option. Now when I try to set up the Y! Go thing, it says there is no internet connection. It says to check:
1. Your phone has coverage (how do I do that)
2. Connection settings are ok (such as?)
3. Flight mode is NOT active (it's not)
4. Your phones security settings allow online access (not sure how to tell)
5.You ALLOW network access (can't find this setting and how to change it)
My phone lets me go on T-Zones and other websites, but says it has no internet connection. I really don't know what is wrong, nor no I know much at all about Blackberrys, so please be patient when trying to help me.
Yes, eBay is not the best place to buy BBs without asking the proper questions first.
Has the user also removed his PIN from his former BIS account on his carrier. He must.
Thanks. I just changed my plan online and added the "unlimited blackberry add-on" for 19.99 a month. Is this the right thing to add? It says it takes effect within 24 hours. It's not working yet, but I didn't expect it to. Should this help to solve my connection problems?
OK, so T-Mobile just sent me a text saying that the changes took effect with my account, meaning the unlimited blackberry addon is in effect, but I still can't connect.

If you do make those changes and add wap.voicestream.com you must do a hard rest on the phone. Pull the battery out for 10 seconds and then reinsert it.
