BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry in China using the local sim card service.

I have a Bold 9700 (unlocked) that I would use in China. I hear it can be difficult if not impossible to get a pre paid sim with vocal abilities and data. Given just blackberry e-mail and messaging or does it include GPS and Internet? Thank you.

Hey there!

Greetings from China! I have a Torch unlocked with me I use on China Unicom (paid in advance) for almost 2 weeks here now (Beijing). I actually do not get the SIM card myself for IT... the hotel made for me. They said that it is indeed difficult to get them now because of the very recent new rules requiring all kinds of identification and of deposits and others. But residents still know how to get around this, so someone from my hotel he had for me. I just to have it reloaded today because I used up all my minutes... so bad since I'm leaving Wednesday, but the cost is almost nothing. I've only got the voice and SMS service... didn't need data comprehensive services on this device that I also have my VZW Storm 2 with me with full international roaming, so I have for such things. Just be sure to use WiFi when you can... roaming charges are quite steep. I was in China and Singapore, a large part of August and my VZW Bill was about $1 700. Should be lower this time since I had the torch of the voice here. And more do not worry about purchase (given that the hotel took care of that for me), I also don't worry about setting up - they did as well and a friend who speaks Mandarin make my top up for me today. Yes, I'm a bit spoiled by all help... but it helps a lot.

With respect to the network, if you want that data, stick with China Unicom - they have 3 G while China Mobile has only 2 G (EDGE). I can really make a difference when my storm seizes China Mobile instead of the Unicom. Finally I got to set my setup get only 3G and it keeps on Unicom all the time now.

Sorry I can't be much more help - I've had help myself and which lightened the burden on me. If you stay in a 5 star hotel, seek their help for sure. You can try the search at the airport on arrival... I tried but nothing of use (most was so tired from the flight that all I wanted was to get to my hotel and crashed). I saw advertisements for a service (I think it's something or other Panda) who speaks through a pre-order SIM card and have it ready at your hotel, and more with easy recharge service. I use them and I'm not sure that it would work with the new rules, but you can also view their.

Good luck and enjoy China! Don't forget to climb the great wall - you must be a hero!

    I've traveled abroad and used a temporary SIM card with my iPhone 6.

    Now I'back home, inserted my regular SIM card but iMessage continues to try to register with the temporary number, I used abroad.

    Although I always temporary SIM card, it is useless in my country and that's why I can't receive the confirmation code to unregister the temporary application number.

  • BlackBerry 8250 new smartphones does not start with the connected SIM card

    I'm having a problem with my new Blackberry of Virgin Media (mobile).  I just got it and when I have a connected SIM card I only get the loading screen timer and the blackberry does not start.  If I have no connected SIM card the device starts in the operating system, but was told that there is just no SIM connected (obviously).  Once I put the SIM card in again once it is stuck on the loading screen.  As you probably already figured out that I did many resets hard with the battery pull and it has not solved the problem.  A consultant because it would be greatly appreciated because the only advise I got support was remove the boot of sim and put it back and start again duh!

  • BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphones will not recognize the new SIM card

    I recently got a Bold 9900 as a gift. In my view, that the phone has been used on the Orange network.

    I tried replacing the original Orange SIM card with my SIMcard "pay-as-you-go" three, when I turn on the phone I get the message "SIM not recognized" and a dialog box asking me to enter a code to unlock the SIM card.

    Because this means that the phone is locked on Orange network. If so, how can I get the unlock code for the new SIM card?

    Best regards

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    You have in fact potentially two issues to deal with... When BBs are made, they are "locked" to their original media and cannot be used on any other carrier up to this MEP is unlocked. Reference:

    But the error you say does not quite what I'd expect from an MEP lock... but please check after the above and see if your BB is indeed MEP locked... If so, then Yes you need to unlock it until you can use it on any other carrier.

    Or - some SIM cards are delivered with a code of their own necessary to unlock and use. But the supplier of the SIM card which should also give unlock code you with this (if that's what applies to your situation).

    So, I suggest you check to see if your device is still locked MEP... If so, get a code (you may have to pay) and unlock it. Then try the SIM card again. If it still fails then your SIM card provider.

    In addition, please check with your mobile service provider preferred 100% certain that your BB model is 100% compatible with their network for all services.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones second hand blackberry 9900 rejects the new sim card?

    Hello everyone. I intend to sell my Blackberry Bold 9900. However, I fear that the user cannot use a new sim card, like when I tried to place a new phone rejected it, he says "SIM not configured". How can I possibly fix?

    I bought my phone as a single unit on an online store, which means that it has never been on a postpaid.

    Thank you!

    You need to get the device unlocked from a reputable unlocking service. I recommend unlock.berryreview.com

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones! Bold 9700 is frozen on start up with the new sim card

    I tried looking for similar topics but could not find more relevant. everyone seems to have no problem with swapping of cards sim on their fat. If there is a thread already open, I'm sorry. I am really frustrated and really need my blackberry to be operational.

    I have a Bold 9700, updated to the latest OS, everything works fine. I recently had some problems with my old sim card so I went to my service provider to change to another (same number, same line, same contract, just a new sim card).

    As it is expected that I was told that when my old sim is disabled, simply insert my new and I use my phone as normal.

    However, when I did this, the phone was stuck at the loading screen (the bar is all white) for eternity (maybe 5 minutes or more) before moving on to the home screen. There is no charge "security check" bar, the phone is completely frozen, no buttons work, the touch pad does not work, it shows 3G top right without the sign of blackberry, there is no service provider name and from time to time the little loading logo clock is displayed.

    I pulled the battery a couple of times and the problem persists. I called the service provider to reactivate the new sim card, they did 3 times, same problem. I inserted the SIM in other non-blackberry phones that I have and it works on all phones. When I put my old sim card in the 9700 disabled, the phone start end in 2-3 minutes, 'check' safety bar according to normal, everything moves, just no connection to the service. When I turn on the phone without sim card it starts fine with a message to say out loud the card sim.

    I even went down to the assistance service technique blackberry from my service provider and they were no help. all they could say was 'we must wipe your phone and reload the software' that I'm trying to avoid, and I can do it myself anyway.

    My phone is unlocked, comes unlocked here in Singapore, I even checked using the method 'MEPD', all disabled.

    This was very frustrating, especially when I need my blackberry for work. What is the problem with my phone? How can the simple replacement of a sim card if difficult on a blackberry when there is problem free for ANY other phone I've ever used? I am now fear when I travel abroad for business and requires a foreign sim card.

    had the same problem and eventually happeing is that I had to reload my os permeable, and then insert the sim card and upgrade again.

    consusming time, but worth it

  • BlackBerry smartphones can be used without a SIM card?

    Hello

    a storm can be used without a SIM card?
    When I fire, I can make a call emergency or release.

    but without card SIM, how can I unlock it? is there a bogus code like 0000?

    Do you mean "unlock" as in the carrier unlock to use other carriers;

    Or release of the password? You can do the PW unlock with no SIM card in the device, it works perfectly, no calls, data, etc..

  • How to prohibit remote access vpn client to use the local DNS server

    Hello

    I'm on ASA5505 remote access vpn configuration.

    Everything works fine so far, except when the client got connected, he always used the local DNS server provided by the ISP.  How can I force the customer to use the DNS server configured on ASA?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    The command "Activate dns split-tunnel-all" is supported only on SSL VPN and VPN IKEv2. Since you're using IKEv1, this command is not supported.

    Here's the order reference:

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/security/ASA/asa82/command/reference/S8.html#wp1533793

    You configure no split tunnel? If you are, then you need to configure "tunnelall" split tunnel policy, and that will force the dns resolution and everything else through the VPN tunnel.

    Vodkaholic27, let me start with the layoff of vodka for a bit and then set Virtual Machine network card to bridged and then assign a static IP address that is appropriate for the guest as the physical LAN operating system is the host.  Then in the local physical network for static IP address router you assigned in the guest OS configure it to allow Port Forwarding on the appropriate port.  Then, you will be able to access from outside local physical host network.  If it's just on the other system on the physical LAN to the host that you want to access the guest you need not set up the Port Forwarding on the router on the local physical host network, simply use linked by a bridge to the network adapter in the Virtual Machine.  If you use NAT to the NIC of the Virtual Machine, then you need to set Port Forwarding in the virtual network Editor.

    Note: The virtual network Editor is not installed by default in Vmware Player 3.x and later versions.

    ==========

    To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

    VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
    

    Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

  • weakness / strength to use the local system for vSphere services account

    Beyond to create Active Directory accounts for the connection of your server vCenter to a SQL remote box, is there a better practical reason to create an AD account to run your services of vSphere?

    The default is to use the "Local System" account. Is there an inherent weakness by using the local system account for services such as vCenter, VUM or vConverter?

    Hi James. In the service using AD creds accounts can actually be very precarious - a little more info on:
