BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry bought in Egypt he goes to work in the United Kingdom

My husband bought me a blackberry as a surprise so I will try to get my head around how it works. I live in Egypt but will travel to the United Kingdom during the summer for 3 weeks.

I can connect the Blackberry via WiFi here in Egypt and assume that it will be just as easy in the UK where I have WiFi

If I want to use it as a Blackerry in the UK do I have to buy a UK data card?

If I want to use it as a phone to the United Kingdom, I presume it will deduct from my Egyptian phone balance as an international call, is that correct?

Can I use it as a phone to the United Kingdom with an existing UK Vodophone sim card?

It must be unlocked to use with a card sim/data of the United Kingdom, it is said that it can be used in all EU member countries.

Where can I find support in the United Kingdom, are there stores?

If I want to use it as a Blackerry in the UK do I have to buy a UK data card? Yes, to use the data of BlackBerry, e-mail, Facebook, etc., you will need a local SIM card with the data of BlackBerry on her Plan.

If I want to use it as a phone to the United Kingdom, I presume it will deduct from my Egyptian phone balance as an international call, is that correct? Only if you keep the Egyptian SIM card in the device, which will deduct calls on a roaming international rates. For three weeks, you might be better with a local UK SIM.

Can I use it as a phone to the United Kingdom with an existing UK Vodophone sim card? See above, Yes

It must be unlocked to use with a card sim/data of the United Kingdom, it is said that it can be used in all EU member countries. Maybe it won't need to be unlocked if the paperwork has this notation in there.

Where can I find support in the United Kingdom, are there stores? Depending on what mobile operator, you use (Vodafone, 3, Tmobile, Orange)

  • BlackBerry Q10 State patch for BB10 (especially Q10 in the United Kingdom)

    Safety seems to be the only point of sale of the Blackberry brand. Over this past year, I've been a proud Blackberry handset user, however, for the vulnrability FREAK, I noticed that the patch took several months to reach me, and since then, I've read the Wikipedia article asserting that the cariers (Canada and USA) North America provide the last set of patches (several months).

    Currently I am on 10.3.1.1779 and have been on it since many months. Any idea when I got (to the United Kingdom) can expect to be on what Wikipedia considers the latest version (10.3.2.2339)?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    As you read, it's the companies that control the release (via the official methods) of packages of OS to their end-users... so is the logical place to ask your question, I think with them. Indeed, the 10.3.1 branch had I think 4 releases more given that the one you are on, and there were 10 in the 10.3.2 branch... so your OS is indeed quite old now (and, if reports here should be used as an indicator, this version was also very problematic indeed).

    But you also involved information it is important to keep separate. 10.3.1.1779 is a "software version", while 10.3.2.2339 is a value of BONE. They are different things, and depending on who you are chatting with or what tools you use, it is important to work with the right pair. Via the toolsets official (LINK, OTA updates, Update Web site), SR it what is used. But, for the discussions here as well as unofficial toolsets (ADF Knowyou), the real value of the OS is what means the most. Reference:

    The key on getting updates, is that someone else is controlling what is offered by any official means... usually it's the carrier. But it's really a moot point anyway... If the official methods offer something new, there is no way to force them to do so. The only way to get around the controls is to switch to non-official methods and take control over exactly what OS is installed on your device.

    Official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions are available:

    Non-official methods, which are cleaner and allow you to choose a version of the OS that maybe your carrier (or anyone they control your offers) delays in approval:

    Of course, before you start this, you want a good backup link, a manual copy of the memory of your device to your PC and complete documentation of your configuration (identification information of account, adding applications, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring a backup returns unit corruption even, must be eliminated and reconfiguration from scratch can solve that.

    Be aware of the risks of 10.3.2 however... There are two things to worry about. First of all, be 100% sure that you know your BBID identifiers... If you do not, you may make your useless device to anyone, including yourself. Second, once you move to 10.3.2, you cannot fall back to 10.3.1 or earlier, by any medium (for example, even the unofficial AutoLoaders can not overcome this restriction anti-secours).

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can't save T mobile SIM in the United Kingdom

    Help, please! I'm in the United Kingdom now and bought a T mobile SIM in order to to use my BBM, all vain it says sim registration failed.

    However, I have lyca sim card them that reads but high school doesn't have a service of BB.

    Oh I c, you say the BB plan has not been activated? But at least the SIM card should be registered?

    Yes and yes it should be... but:

    This carrier of storm is unlocked for use on one medium other than that in which he is the brand?

    To determine whether your BlackBerry is already "unlocked":
    1. on your BlackBerry, go to Options > Advanced Options > Sim Card.
    2. in this screen type MEPD (see note below) on your keyboard. A new menu will appear.
    * If your BlackBerry has a keyboard SureType (71xx, 81xx, 91xx devices) you will need to double-click the P keys real entries become M E P P D.
    3. search for the network in the list.
    4. If your device is "unlocked", we should have disabled or inactive. If it says active, it is still blocked by this carrier.

    If you need instructions on how to unlock your BlackBerry for use on a
    carrier other than that to which it is brand, check out BlackBerry

  • AirPort Extreme and airport express bought in Europe will work in the United States?

    AirPort Extreme and airport express bought in Europe will work in the United States?

    Airports will work on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz, so they'll work wise power, about anywhere in the world, assuming that you have a power adapter to change the European plug to a US plug.  A voltage converter is not necessary.

    European wireless operated from 1-13 and the United States channels 1-11, so you will need to make sure that you use 1-11 If you want other users to be able to connect to the wireless signal.

  • Just bought a Deskjet 3520 e-all in one printer but moving to the United Kingdom, can I still use it?

    It says in the guide specifications power:

    Power adapter: CQ191-60017

    Input voltage: 100-240 VAC

    Input frequency: 50/60 Hz

    I recently bought the deskjet 3520 printer, printer all in one, but was accepted to school grad to the United Kingdom, I obviously want to take my printer with me but wonder If it will take a power adapter with a UK plug adapter? and if yes where can I get a.

    Hello

    Yes, but the problem is not different power, you only need an adapter for $ 5 you can find many airports or tourist shops. The problem will be inks. You may not be able to use the ink cartridges sold in the United Kingdom. You should contack HP to reset the printer. Please read this:

  • HP Photosmart B110b (bought in South Africa and now in the United Kingdom)

    The printer comes with the installation HP178 cartridges and now I need to replace.  Online, he is told to buy the HP364 I bought but I get an error (incompatible cartridge) - how can I reset the printer to accet these cartridges which are those of the United Kingdom.  The printer came from South Africa.

    You will need to Contact HP to ask a "regionalization Reset." Do not charge for this, it is covered under the warranty of the cartridge. You will need to have access to your computer and printer then on line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once completed reset cartridges of region of origin no longer works.  Webpage of HP on the subject is here.

    Thanks for all the info.  Here's what I found out from Verizon.  To unlock the phone, you must call the global group of Services (888-844-0395) and tell them you want to unlock your phone.  To unlock it, you must have a SIM card.  Interestingly, they'll send me a free, after that I was told that it will cost $30 in my local store.  When you call, they will give you an unlock code.  Here's how to use it:

    1 turn off all wireless connections (manage connections - disable all connections)
    2. go to Options
    3. Select Advanced Options
    4. Select SIM card
    5. tap on menu select show keybord
    6. Enter mepd (you will not be able to see the typed info)
    7. type mep2
    8. now it will say enter network mep code
    9. Enter the code given to you by Verizon

    10. turn off the power and remove the battery to reset

    11 re - enable wireless connections

    I should have my SIM on Thursday and I will he give a try.
