BlackBerry BB Storm 9530 Smartphones - SIM card to use in Ireland

Hi, I have a Storm 9530 in large part unused for several years. I had Verizon.  Can I consider in Ireland and get a SIM card it for use as a mobile phone only to make calls to the Ireland and receive calls from the Ireland and the United States, also?  (I'll take an iPhone, using for the WiFi only).  I have to clear this with Verizon?

Hello and welcome to the community!

There are several factors to consider... because you intend to use a local SIM card, then roaming does not apply (in other words, you don't need 'Permission' VZW).

First of all, your device must be unlocked to the Association so that it can run on any other carrier at all... refer:

Second, you must be sure that the radio technologies and frequencies that supports your device are compatible with all other networks of carriers that you want to use operated with. You can search for your device here features:

But you have to look on the Internet about what the carriers available in the places you want to work with.

Since you intend to only level of voice services, there is no problem with any BB exclusive service requirements... which would introduce a completely separate level of complexity, but it should before satisfaction of the above anyway.

Good luck and let us know!

  • BlackBerry Storm 9530 smartphones stops during calls

    Hello

    My first Blackberry, it's a Storm 9530, and everything seems as it should be-except that it will completely die during calls. Not all the time, but most of the time. (about 4 to 5 times)

    Sometimes I hear a noise from the Bzzz electronic, then the red light comes on, I think I can see an error screen (briefly - not backlit)-then a white screen, then a small clock-face, then the start of Blackberry screen and the loading bar. Takes a few minutes to load, then it's as if nothing happened - until I make the next call.

    I have the Blackberry Desktop Manager on my Macbook. Tells me that newer software is available - but never successfully downloading it, often crashing out of it during the relief phase. The same software on my Windows PC won't even find my phone (even if it appears in the my computer window).

    I read in some messages in the forum, but did not find any problems.

    Here's the bad news: Yes, I bought it on ebay!  Unused and unlocked. I accept full responsibility for my actions! Oh!

    I'm in the United Kingdom using a Virgin SIM card. I realize this will give me limited use BB facilities - but, quite frankly, at this point even end a call would be a joy!

    It comes with a 12 month warranty, but before I send again, I thought I'd post on the forum in case it was a problem with an easy solution. Or any patch.

    Thanks in advance, L

    Carrier: unlocked (originally from T-Mobile) now on a SIM of Virgin UK

    OS: v5.0.0.154 (Platform 4.2.0.21)

    Well, I'm not really a superstitious person - but I hesitate to hit the solved button in case I have any jinx.

    But it seems that the software update has resolved the problem. So far, so good, anyway. Phone has not stopped since the update.

    Think I'll wait one more day, do a little more of screams and then click resolve.

    On a different note, which can be of interest for all Virgin UK customers: Virgin were to launch their friendly service of BB on January 4 this year, but it has been delayed. Currently, they only provide service BB for the curve and the torch (that they provide on contract). The new service would be welcome all BB phones which users on their own and use the Virgin fare. This year, the latest schedule come into force this service is end of February / beginning of March.

    I cross my fingers. So far, I have a smartphone that can be used for phone calls and texts! Tried to go back to my old Sony Ericsson - at least I could send and receive MMS.

    Enjoy, L

  • BlackBerry smartphones SIM card not valid

    I have a storm 9530 on VZW, latest official OS. A bit ago I got an error SIM card at random, and now I see 'No. valid SIM Card' in the advanced options. I tried to remove/replace, without change. I know that in the United States the card is not actually "used", but I would still like to know why her broke.

    Any ideas?

    I read on one of the post here on the screen click does not not in some places.  The "do it yourself difficulty" was to loosen the screws of the "two" #5 located couple at the back under the door (a have a red sticker with a white stripe on her) 1/4 turn or so.» I tried this and in the process he loosened the small metal plate that keeps the SIM CARD in place too. So I had all of a sudden the error SIM CARD also. I tighten the screws of couple next to the SIM CARD, a 1/8 turn and she was reading the SIM CARD again... If your feeling brave, you can try turning the screw JUST a little... 1/8 turn perhaps and see if it locked it some.

    If not feeling brave bring it to phone tech and request them also try this... If it works, it's better then to replace the phone and go through reinstalling all your contacts apps. and just plain ol ' hassle of waiting on a new phone. I used a glass with little eye Flathead screwdriver that fit just right if you do not have the driver of torture of good size...

    P.S by loosening the screws not fixed my problem by clicking on... I just can I have loosened them too and I went only to 1/4 turn... Decline of the Sim Card facing downwards by a 1/8... fixed .all works fine now

    Hi @Jenny7733! Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums!

    You will need to perform an erasure of security on the device first before you can connect with a new BlackBerry ID credentials Please see: How to delete all data and applications from the smart phone BlackBerry with the optio security wipe...

    Don't forget to make a backup because it will erase all your data. Good luck!

  • Way to Smartphones blackBerry to the North, the SIM card

    Hi, I have a new Blackberry (7230).   I've never used a mobile phone or PDA phone before.    I had 2 BlackBerry for e-mail or text messaging services and an organizer for the moment.

    I don't know anything about SIM cards except my needs a Blackberry.

    My Blackberry is unlocked.

    Any good suggestions on A SIM that I can use for only text or email messages?

    We can improve our SIMs later.

    I just go to a provider and get a SIM card?   I will not get a phone also program? A supplier will just sell me a SIM card for text messaging or to activate the Blackberry e-mail push?

    BlackBerry has SIM cards?  I went to the website, they do not seem to.

    7230... again... How about you, we say "new for you".

    You can get a SIM card from your provider for free, or almost nothing. This will depend on the carrier if they offer one data plan, some do it.

  • Setup Gmail 'Ideal' blackBerry Storm 9530 Smartphones

    My wife and I recently received from Storm 9530 with Verizon service.  Both of us are using Gmail accounts as our single e-mail account on the BB.  The Verizon store put up our Gmail accounts through the e-mail option main/standard BB (BES/BIS?), but I use Gmail extensively and use filters, labels, contacts and see thread regularly, so I was not happy with the way it has been implemented.  Not to mention I want two-way syncing between my handheld and your computer, which AFAIK is available through the App (?) of Gmail.  I downloaded the Gmail app on both devices, that satisfies me with the exception of a few issues/questions:

    (1) on my phone, I get notifications of new emails (both tone and the new icon of Visual message), but the phone my wife warns no new messages unless it refreshes.  As far as I can tell, I have set them up with the same settings.  No idea what could be the cause of his is not for him to new messages?

    (2) sometimes, it seems that my notification comes close in real time, but other times it seems to last 20 minutes for the notification to arrive?  I read somewhere that the delay in delivery is a problem with the Gmail app, but that was almost of a post on the forum about a year ago.  Is this always the case?

    Here is my questions, but if someone has a better way to achieve two-way synchronization, complete the Gmail features and real-time notification on the handheld, I'd love to hear it (nearby).

    I apologize if this is the ten thousandth time these questions have been asked, however in the search for the huge amount of Blackberry/Gmail web discussions I couldn't find my exact issues or good solutions for them.

    Thanks in advance.

    -Danny

    Yep, you'll see a period of the e-mail server for device...

    For something better, you will need a BES.

  • BlackBerry Storm 9530 smartphones crashed or something when I tried to install the new OS

    Hey,.

    I recently picked up a blackberry storm 9530, who has been sitting on the counter for about 5 months and decided that I wanted to use it. I got it all together upward through my carrier (Verizon) and it has been working perfectly for the last 2 weeks. However, today, I tried to update the software version of the device with the Blackberry Desktop Software and something happened. The update process was almost complete and he got in a process that says something like "Reconnecting to JVM" or something like that. Then another window pops up saying them was a mistake with the AppLoader or something and he said to disconnect and reconnect my device and then click Retry. I did about 3 times before I decided that it wasn't going to work and clicked on the Cancel button and abandoned the update. Now my phone won't turn properly. whenever I press the power button all the buttons on the bottom will be light and then the LED on top lights up red for a while, then the light turns off and the keys will blink again, and then the light, ect ect. Sometimes when I press the power button and leave it alone for a bit the flashing stops and the screen will remain black but the little loading symbol, but nothing will happen. At the moment he made the small thing of loading for about 30-40 minutes of solids and nothing happens. I read a few other posts and all the other problems seem to be resolved by the connection to the computer and fixing one way or another using the Blackberry Desktop Software, however when I plug my Berry in my computer it is not yet recognized as a device because it is busy to restart or what he does. I have no idea what to do and problems will arise for me if I don't have a phone to get their hands on people. Please help :/
