Blackberry Curve 8320 unlocked blackBerry smartphones

Hello

I have not actually bought my Blackberry yet, but I'm looking into it right now. I want to buy a unlocked Blackberry Curve 8320 which was previously on AT & T or T-mobile (I'm a couple more different). Anyway, I wanted to buy a Blackberry and place it on a data plan with Rogers Canada. I'm doing this because I want to be able to use BBM, so I think I need a data plan.

I buy the Blackberry separately because I want to be able to use overseas when I use another GSM SIM card for example. I know doing it on contract is cheaper, but I don't want to do that because I will be locked on a 3 year contract and I won't be at the Canada for 3 years.

I just want to know if the Rogers data network will work with a Blackberry unlocked as I described above. I asked Rogers customer service and they said that they cannot confirm that the Rogers data network will be to 'connect' with the unlocked Blackberry because it once belonged to another provider and I should buy a Blackberry from Rogers. I don't know if they just said that if I would buy the Blackberry from Rogers rather than elsewhere. I know the unlocked Blackberry should work fine with a regular for calls and SMS GSM SIM card and all that but I want to know specifically about BBM - ing.

Sorry, my question is so long. Thanks a lot for your help!

While Canadian companies may be different from their American counterarts I do not that the differences are only significant to materially affect my response.

When you buy a 'new' locked onto a support device will be offered the device at a price at a price significantly lower than the retail price recommended for her.  That's what prescribed contractual lock in as they recover for the duration of the contract, the difference between what you pay and the cost.  They're subsidizing the price in order to collect a healthy monthly fees for access.

All U.S. carriers require a data plan for smartphones in addition to any general "plans" for just minutes and text packages etc.  I guess that Canadian businesses require the same.

In order to use BBM you need a dataplan carriers which is what allows your device use the features of the BIS (Blackberry Internet service) requiring Blackberry data push, e-mail, all what is "data".

This is a new in the box device purchased by your friends at Rogers.  They sold you a Blackberry and they dance as they listen to the registry will chaching.  This is music to their ears.  This is an item being sold and it is "locked" to Rogers.  Of course, for each month of your servitude under contract happen to dance again once the Registry continues to provide them with more chaching.

You bought a camera from them, you can use it at this stage only with them.  They will be as you might or might not be aware subject to various and assorted penalties if you tire of their service or their absence and take your business elsewhere, or try.  Costs of early termination can easily exceed your initial cost plus for a premium, in a credit institution, violating laws governing wear.

It's what keeps dissatisfied customers even with the carriers that are less satisfactory.  It is just too expensive to leave while allowing some, but not all carriers for you 'sell' the balance of your contract to another.  If Rogers of permits that are unknown to me.

If you buy an "unlocked" device it is expected of the band is compatible with Rogers (GSM/CDMA as the case may be) perfectly capable to be activated on their network.

Their after-sales service is to use a euphemism, blowing smoke.  They know perfectly well that a device unlocked regardless of its origin.  They won't make you a device for which they do not receive rewarding chaching first and make run on their network.  Since you did not pay a subsidized price for the device that you are not obliged to a three-year plan or some length Rogers requires for locked for new devices.

While they play stupid indeed hoping you will buy them and locked himself in a service contract.  It's guaranteed money for thirty-six months.  It's a lot of money.

Assuming you get to admit only a 8320 unlocked (GSM) will play well with their network that you can buy a phone, monthly data on the plan without being locked in a period of time.

You will absolutely need the dataplan however, at least the minimum plan they offer will prevent access to the services that make it a Blackberry.

Of major importance for you in as long as purchaser of a used instrument is the only one not is indeed "unlocked" but the PIN was released by the former owner and the access to its carrier, T-Mobile or AT & T.  Every Blackberry is assigned a unique PIN that lives with her forever.  For example, if I want to sell my unlocked Blackberry Storm I will have to make arrangements for the release of the Verizon PIN so that a subsequent purchaser can activate the storm on Verizon (my service provider) or such that it is unlocked any service provider, as it really is a universal device capable of activation on a CDMA/GSM/UMTS network or Global.

I would like to buy a used if and only if it is verifiable that the PIN was released by the previous owner/carrier.  With the instrument in hand, it can be checked on the device or not it is unlocked.  The output of the SPINDLE must be verified by the previous carrier and I'm too cynical, but I wouldn't take the word of the seller unless it was a very trustworthy family member and even then, I would like to politely ask for verification.

Rogers wants money on your part.  They want the money upfront to sell you a Blackberry and they want the contract guaranteed money for the long term for the months down the line.  For Rogers, it's win/win.

You can, even if it's an expensive to buy a new device of Rogers at the MSRP and not you will not lock in a three-year contract.  The majority of carriers who does not advertise that the difference is more than lost long-term do not lock you in their.

I hope this helps.  If I appear cynical, it's because I am.  Carriers are there to increase their profits and integrity is lost in the maze.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8320 - Network Mobile Smartphones (kept losing)

    Heya there!

    I'm here to represent my girlfriend who kept having problem with his BB 8320 Curve.

    Its network of Mobile signal not now change the colors of green (tick)-> yellow (in strips).

    No idea why and how this happened? This has happened since she came to Live Messenger 5.0, and I came back to his system using Desktop Manager 5.0 to original (v4.5 update of its carrier provider). But still, its mobile network status light to go green - yellow all the time, this event it to freely use his BB Messenger. Kept by disconnecting

    Help, please?

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the forums

    Try a battery pull first:
    1. remove the battery while the phone is turned on
    2. wait a few seconds before inserting it again
    3. wait for the long end of the boot process (takes a few minutes usually)

    This clears most of the software problems that occur on the BlackBerry from time to time. You can also use Quickpull, a free application that simulates a battery pull without removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
    A battery pull gets lost when using the applications memory and clears minor software errors that creep over time. The blackberry is running an operating system just like your PC is running windows and battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot / restart your computer.

    You can also save the device by going to Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table, click on the button menu/blackberry and 'sign up now '.

    Also try to send service directories to the phone by:
    1 connection to the site of the BIS of your operator (where you installed your email)
    2. go in directories of Service, then click on "send Service books".

    Post back with your results.

  • Password blackBerry Smartphones required to unlock Blackberry Curve 9300

    Hello

    One word: HELP! This is so the case... a friend gave me a Blackberry Curve 9300 to use (cause it not to use) cause my old phone went kaput. in any case, I turned it on and I see a written screen KOODOO mobile (a telephone to the Canada company) and then immediately a screen saying "DEVICE is locked". When I choose to open it says "Enter password" and I can't get past this screen for something else. My friend doesn't remember the password. He had introduced FIDO sim card so I'm thinking that the phone is unlocked... I have a FIDO sim card also. Can someone help me understand this? What I have to go to the KOODOO store and ask them to unlock or to anyone who makes the unlocking the phones? Or can someone here help me? Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    BBs are very secure - only the password created by the user can unlock the BB. There is no password 'master' or 'ignore' to do so... only the password created by the user can do.

    But, you can maybe in luck still... refer:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    No not the password the maximum time will initiate a WIPE on the device, which is part of these important instructions. But other measures in these instructions are also important to... by the seller and the buyer. Not well fill ALL risks instructions making the BB not fully usable by the buyer (you).

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not unlock 8330 curve

    I use a security code on my BB Curve 8330.  I tried to synchronize media files today through the desktop (win XP) USB interface and has been invited to enter a password.  I used my security code and password account BB, neither worked.  I unplugged the USB cable and now cannot unlock the device by using the keyboard.  Twice I have re-set the device (battery removed), and we invited to enter the word "blackberry" I did.  When you are prompted to unlock the device, I try to enter my code, but instead of the usual displays of * (standard characters when you type a password), I see on the screen the characters I entered.  I use a 4-digit number for my unlock code, but when I get in I see the corresponding value of QWERTY (eg.  type '2' see 'e' on the screen)

    Now I have 9 of 10 attempts and don't want to lose my data.  How can I get this think unblocked?

    1. While you still can, on your BlackBerry smartphone, change the password to something very simple, alpha characters only, not numbers, without capital letters. To do this before you lose all your data. Enter the incorrect password ten times will wipe your device of all data, contacts, calendar, etc.

    2. you probably think that you have a number or a capital letter in your password, and you don't really have.

    for example, if you think your password is "w3rs", try alpha correspondent character and the PW would be "wers".

    You never noticed the error, because the entry hidden on the password.

    Good luck.

  • Coverage PINK Blackberry Curve 8330 BlackBerry Smartphones Will come up on my Blackberry Curve 8320?

    So, I want to buy a pink lid for my Blackberry Curve 8320. However, when I look on eBay or Amazon, pink rugs say they are for the Blackberry Curve 8330 (I know that Verizon is out with the pink telephone). Is there a difference? Should be always on my phone?

    (I mean the real case, not only a pink rubber or case cover to put on my phone)

    Thank you!

    Yes, as long as you ALSO replace the keyboard AND the small part that is under the keyboard.

    If you have any questions or need to order extra parts, I suggest you call and purchase of Horizon Wireless, they will sell you the correct thing.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones 8320 Curve Desktop Manager

    Hi all

    When I plug my Blackberry Curve 8320 to my computer Desktop Manager begins and starts checking the updates of the application, but does not worked for 2 hours straight without stopping and it only about 2 weeks since I finally hung it.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Desktop Manager is not the best programs, he has problems. I uninstalled and reinstalled mine several times. Why don't you try that... remove everything and load it onto. It's a bit of a pain, I know, but I hope that suits him. Make sure you have the latest version of too - 4.7. Here is a link:

    https://www.BlackBerry.com/downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22

    I would get one without the Media Manager because it is smaller and works better for me. I have the media manager, but if you then by all means use it.

    See you soon

    Hi all. I have a problem which seems to be somewhat common. I did some don't research through the messages, but so far no luck.

    I just got my Curve 8320 and I installed Desktop Manager 4.5 that accompanies it. At work, the calendar, I want to use is in Outlook 2007. It is a work schedule, but this isn't a working phone. Anyway, it wouldn't work at all, but I changed one of the options on the phone (based on a comment here) 'Facebook' for the other option (my personal e-mail, not associated with work or Outlook 2007, but that was my only other choice).

    Then he started pulling files from Outlook to the phone, but about to halfway through it gives me this error in a window called 'Intellisync': 'operation complete unexpectedly.'

    I can't go further than that. Any ideas?

    Morning.

    We will try this.  Read this thread.  You probably have a corrupt file somewhere in your calendar.

  • Button blackBerry Smartphones BB Curve 8320 unexpected behavior

    Hi community

    I now own a BB Curve 8320, which arrived March 7 th 2010 with OS v4.2.

    Having previously & successfully upgraded the OS on my BB 8310 curve which has an expensive screen problem, I downloaded OS v4.5 for BB Curve 8320.

    I used this download: 8320EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel108_PL2.7.0.78_A4.5.0.81_Voda_Australia

    Everthing seems to work very well; the OS upgrade completed successfully and before & after reloading the data from Outlook I could access the menu via the Menu button & do what I needed.

    However, after some time of operation (i.e. on 1 or more hours), random unit see the menu when I press the Menu key and I can't answer calls by pressing the Green Telephone button.

    Instead, this key and a few others will produce strange characters (e.g., Yi) in applications that can accept text, or does nothing.

    I tried to help me with this problem by making a following and after:

    Battery grips.
    Hold the alt key, then press and hold SHIFT to the right, then press DELETE.
    Reload the OS after the failure with JL_Cmder v1.9.1

    I have read on this forum or on crackberry that I should consider the moisture under the keyboard and then proceeds to remove the battery and SIM and SD card then proceeds to the hair dryer the unit for a short period.

    RESULT = everything works again for a short while (a few hours), then it will repeat the above behavior.

    I'm a bit there is a simple fix of BB Curve 8320 or setting changes that I'm missing.

    The 8310 has been solid on the performance... and honestly that miss me.

    Please put me out of my misery.

    Who is blessed,

    Hello community,

    After trying my own idea and add some silica GEL for the bowl to rice taking into my BB Curve 8320 & leaving for 2 days, I took out the camera fed up and had a brainwave.

    I occurred to me that since this routine 'your BB dry' had not given a complete solution, while it was time to open the unit and correct what was going on inside.

    So... on March 15, I found a local repair shop, said the problem, as well as to what this forum (thanks JSanders) suggest that he was wrong and ignored the diagnostic charge.

    Finally, there is some minor corrosion under the keyboard, which he corrected and cleaned up.
    I asked the tech if I took the phone to him at the time, and he said yes, that I didn't have to worry.

    So now, I have a BB Curve 8320 with interchangeable spare parts of my BB Curve 8310.

    CONCLUSION.

    I think that rice and the desiccant, drying methods are best used to DELAY the progression of moisture damage.

    However, if this does not solve the problem... then you must go into the unit. (i.e. you or a tech)

    Don't get too long..time is essential due to the miniaturization of circuit traces are very small and corrosion can quickly make the device unusable.
