BlackBerry 8830 World Edition Smartphones accepting not SIM

I had posted on February 28, 2009 on a trip outside the United States in Asia and the use of my 8830 here and was informed the phone is unlocked and would accept a SIM card. However, I tried to insert the SIM card in the slot that matches that I had (there are two slots Im assuming one if, for a multimedia card) and it doesn't seem to work. I used the SIM card in another phone (not Blackberry) and it seems to work so its must be the BlackBerry.

I have to do something before I insert the SIM card for it to work? Or y at - it another way to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help.

PS I'm in India so that relates to the answer or help.

Go to Options-> advanced-> SIM card Options.  Here to ensure what he says "SIM Card: security disabled.

If it is not the case, you should contact your provider and tell them you want to have security disabled for SIM card.  This will allow you to use SIM cards (for example those paid in advance) on your Berry.

P.S. I have a VZW/Vodafone SIM (it's free) from the service overall assistance and after that I got this SIM card installed on my phone, I had to call and have the security-disabled.

Good luck

  • Question of blackBerry Smartphones Sprint 8830 World Edition SIM and possible causes

    I recently bought a Sprint 8830 World Edition as a phone good trip/backup. The device is unlocked, as check by going to Options > Advanced Options > SIM card and then type MEPD. All that it shows people with reduced mobility.

    Here's my problem:

    While in the United States just to test, I inserted a T-mobile SIM card and 8830 research for a GSM network, and after some time, shows "no service". I also tried an AT & T SIM card and 8830 is still searching once and after some time shows 'no service '. I get this because I am in the United States? Is this an indication I'm having a problem in another country, using a local SIM card?

    News of the Bill:

    When the 8830 is out, way back when, I found a comment from someone who says

    "This (8830) is unlocked for GSM networks and probably only GSM networks that are not in the same region as Sprint networks (roaming on AT & T and T-Mobile in the United States is probably also out of the question).

    Yes and of course while out of the country, need you the SIM card by the local carrier and a data Plan of BlackBerry by the carrier, if you plan to use data, email, etc.

  • Unlocking blackBerry Smartphones 8830 World Edition GSM and code provider

    Hello

    I'm a guy unsavvy tech and have an 8830 World Edition phone. Bought this from Auntie Indicom (Vendor ID: 269), a CDMA operator which also provided a GSM SIM for only international roaming. Last month, number portability Mobile came into India, and I went to a GSM provider, Vodafone India. After the transfer of numbers, simply inserted the new Vodafone SIM and the phone and Blackberry services are working well with the new operator. Two questions:

    1. from the Options-> advanced-> SIM card Options, after typing MEPD, I see:

    ID: a large number

    Customization:

    Disabled SIM

    Active network

    Network subset disabled

    Service Provider disabled

    People with reduced mobility

    Does this mean that my Blackberry is locked? If Yes, is it blocked by Vodafone? Given that I have moved the Auntie service provider Vodafone and does not seem to wear the same number on the same phone, aunt locked the phone.

    2. type Alt-EACE, I always see the Vendor ID 269 (Auntie). See also the logo of Auntie initially upwards. Is it possible that I can change the ID of the seller or at least stop getting the start screen for the old vendor? This ID Vendo has something to do with the above-mentioned lock?

    Would be very grateful if some kind soul illuminates.

    Thank you

    There must be something different on a BB WE that allows the use of other SIMs, though always stuck at home carrier. Odd, but your experience proves the theory. I seriously doubt that release will make a difference, but certainly to try I guess.

    I don't know why your BB is as you describe... but, I want to propose the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried. However, you want to be careful here. I don't know how you originally got your BB running services on your current operator. All BB services are controlled by the Service books. If a carrier does not natively support a BB model on their network, there are a few things that need to be taken to get these SBs on than non-native BB. If only it had to do, don't go here... you could just wipe out all your services level of BB. But if none of these tricks are required (which would mean that your carrier supports natively your BB model), then you should be safe to go ahead.

    Steps 1 and 2 each should translate into a message to your BB to come:

    (1) registry HRT

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Maybe it will make a difference. I really do not know about you, to be honest. It's a tricky business, and you can well serve just as well by getting a new BB you get from your carrier... which by the way, you would have at least that the formal support at your disposal channel.

    Good luck!

  • Supports the 8830 World Edition GPS functions?

    Hi guys.

    I am facing some problem GPS. I need to test my app on Simulator for the BB 8830 World edition.

    But this Simulator supports the GPS (using JDE 4.5.0). I read the topic on smart phones with GPS from herecapabilities.

    The reason for writing this post is: my friend's 8830 world edition and it works at my request.

    Then my application detects "no GPS device.

    To detect the GPS, using following code:

    If (LocationProvider.GetInstance (null) == null) {}

    This device has no GPS

    } else {}

    GPS is ok.

    }

    Is it really unit no GPS?

    What is the best way to detect the GPS features?

    Please share with me any source code of example concerning the detection of GPS capabilities.

    Thank you guys.

    The 8830 supports only "assisted" mode on the Verizon network, which you can't access without EDP information.

    If you move to Canada permanently, you will not be able to use only 8830 and use it on Bell or Telus Mobility. Currently, they do not support foreign NSE (electronic serial number). So, you will need to buy a phone that is sold by Bell or Telus Mobility.

    You can find the beta on the internet and install those. Keep in mind, if anything happens, Verizon will not help you. So, to do this at your own risk.

    The items that you have saved on the media card do not count for the memory of the device. You can check the device memory by going to Options | Status and take note of your free file number. Then reset the unit by removing the battery and 1 min and replace it and let the device restarts. After that he did check and see if your free file number has increased.

    Also do you have a lot of third party applications on the device that you don't need? If so you can do in the Options | Advanced options | Applications and delete those you no longer need.
