BlackBerry smartphones can not make calls from the home page or the phone book.

I've had my curve for several months now and the other day, that my most young got a hold of it... I don't know how they do it, but my children can do things with my phone and computers that I did not know they could do... In any case I tried to access my voicemail by organizing the 1 on the homepage and it took me to instead call log, so I tried to make a call from the phone book by selecting the name pressing on do it call button and no as soon as I actually had to go into the call log and manually type the number.

My question is... What did do?  It is very aggravating and I would ask him, but he is two... I know he did not drop it or I would take it to a service provider.  All of the suggestions.

Thank you

If you go in your call log icon or by phone, click your menu button and go to Options. Then, go to the General Options. See if your the home screen dial is set to Yes.

Also try to reset your device by removing the battery for 1 minute and replacig it to leave the unit restarts. Try it later

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not get contacts from the Sim Card.

    I just bought a Blackberry Bold 9780 and put my current sim card in it to copy my contacts in. However, this is not the case - that one or two contacts copied when all of my contacts have been permanently recorded on the sim card. My Blackberry bolt ons have not yet been activated (not sure if this is relevant). Would appreciate any help, thank you.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not see contacts in the address book after you synchronize with PocketMac

    Model 8830. Macintosh OS 10.5.8. Latest version of PocketMac SYncManager 1.2 (1.4).

    Contacts have been working well. I have sync'd with PocketMac by ticking the peripheral crush, and first of all, I had a lot of duplicate addresses. Second sync seemed to delete ALL my contacts, but by checking the properties of the address book, it shows the 706 entries (twice what a book Mac address

    .)

    Nothing not done, I ran twice SyncClean and 'Reset all devices to the first SYnc State'. I have re-started the Mac and Blackberry several times.

    What to do next?

    I deleted all my data via the Options > Security Options > then wipe Handheld. Necessary for the re-registration

    the BB with the carrier and then by downloading my backed up address book & calendar

    Re-creation of speed dials, themes, ringtones, etc., but it cures the problem of address book.

    My calendar now has 3 copies of holiday in the United States, but I can live with that.

    I find it interesting that nowhere on the site Web Blackberry or PocketMac is there any

    clue on how to clean a calendar book or address munged. Maybe the next

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not make a call from the phonebook

    Hi guys! Can someone help me? BB Storm 9530, when you type the number to call, everything is ok, but when you try to call the same person in the phone book, it is impossible. What can I do?

    Thank you!

    It could be one of the four solutions... Try these:
    1. make sure that you set your own code to the Dialer phone screen > Options > smart dialing.
    Set your country Code in this format: "+ xx" where xx = country code. Some countries have two or three-digit country Codes. Do not place not the '+' in the entrance of your contact.
    * In the United States, the value of this country as '+ 1' Code and place your code in the appropriate box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).

    2. in the same place, change the length of National number for the number of digits corresponding to your country (since some countries have less than 10 as that set by default in the BB). Check out the total numbers, less country code. Do not place not the '+' in the entrance of your contact.
    * For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (more than 3 for the country code). You must enter '8 '.

    3. you probably have "Content Protection" located on your address book.
    OS5 devices: look at the Options > Security > General settings. Scroll down to the content Protection > include addresses = no
    OS6 devices: Home screen > Options > Security > encryption > uncheck encrypt.

    4. go to Options on your device > Security Options > encryption > include contacts the value 'No '.

    Interesting... it must synchronize all... hmmm... Well, if your only interest is a paper copy, then an export might be too simple. The Desktop software can export to a CSV file, which you could then return to Excel and do what you please. Unfortunately, the export feature has been removed in more recent versions of Desktop software (don't ask... it's a HUGE bru-ha-ha!), and you must use an older version (6.x or lower, I recall) to do:

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not make a call, but can receive calls

    Hello! I BBCurve9380 and somehow it just stopped making the calls, but I can still receive. I don't know if it's on the changed settings but on what I read in other forums, it's on the it policy. I checked mine and it says BBFS1 [GTALKAP1] and WLM 2.1 [WLMAP01]. I've updated all my apps and my computer can read my phone just fine. When I try to make a call, it automatically disconnects. Any help would be appreciated.

    In fact, you have a lot more work to do, in light of your acquisition method. Reference:

    For step 3 stages of seller, you should replace it and it will remove unit COMPUTER policy:

    • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings

    However, later, when you restore, DO NOT do a full restore. On the contrary, do only a selective restore of only those databases that you absolutely need (e.g., contacts, calendar, messages) and specifically avoid restore databases that have nothing to do with HIM, political, business or other similar things. If you restore those, you'll just be right back where you are now, as a full restore will conscientiously COMPUTER policy again on your device.

    Note Please that I really have no idea if doing this will restore your ability to make calls... 100% of the information I have comes from what you have posted here. I'm guessing that the policy could be the cause of your problems, but I can't know that. No matter, since there is an IT strategy on board and you are not on BES, then you definitely want to get that deleted. But regarding if that will restore your ability to make calls, I have no way to predict the future... If something is the cause of this specific problem, then we'll have to deal with this - AFTER you remove the it policy so that we can be sure it does not hinder anything else.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not make or receive calls or text messages

    I have a desk that also my BB services (e-mail and internet) work and device to register. But I can't make or receive a phone call or send and receive text messages. Try calling a number any (including the short customer service number) I get only the message on the screen saying "Call Failed". I'm with O2 with BB unlimited but also tried other SIM cards or reset to the default setting but still the same.

    Could someone help?

    Hello

    It really seems to be the same problem I had. The reason why my phone did not work (calls and sending messages) were that the phone has been updated with the index. Looking to solve the problem, I visited O2 and T-Mobile (which was the original support) and people and T-Mobile was very helpful and kindly spent some time to solve my problem. At least it confirmed what I already knew. Because the person who took this phone as a contract obviously has not paid the IMEI of my phone bill has been blacklisted and I couldn't use it in England (he works abroad). I could use only internet, emails etc. exactly as you can.

    These people in T-Mobile store after talking to someone in their service center told me that the only way to remove it from the blacklist must provide the original proof of purchase. I called customer service and they confirmed this as well. So if you have the same problem that you need to talk to the person you bought the phone and ask the original proof of purchase of the phone company. At least, it works with T-Mobile and should then with Vodafone as well.

    In my case, I went back to the phone to the Ebayer. As he was shopping, it had no original proof of purchase. It wasn't easy and I had to remind him of Ebay and Paypal political and it took some time but finally he refunded my money and I bought it.

    There is another way how to remove IMEI to list black, but not quite sure how legal, is that you will find someone who can do that in England. You can. Write on my email if you want more info and don't know what I mean.

    Hope this information has helped and you will sort your problem.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not get Livestrong on the new phone.

    First step: right here go us... go a Pearl of blackberry replacement and want to get the livestrong on this calorie counter.  Already purchased through paypal with my old phone in June.  On my new phone go to My App World, he's not here, there, I'm told to 'log in' and I'll be able to re-download it.  When I try to "log in" to paypal from my app world I get an error message that says: 'impossible to authenticate at this time, please try again later '.  I tried for three days.  I go to my computer, log on to PayPal without problem and see if I bought livestrong in June 09.

    Second step: so I don't think, no big deal, I can buy this new... it's only $2.99.  When I try to make I get an error message that says "you already bought this app, go to 'My world' and choose connect from the menu to reconcile your purchase (error id: 20304).»

    Third step: of course I do, and the first step happens all over again...

    How can I get the livestrong app yet? !!  Help, I used to love my blackberry, but I "lose that Lovin' feeling!

    Now, there is a problem with your Paypal account that you not to use it to connect to AppWorld. I understand that you can connect to your Paypal account using a computer, but not enough. You must ensure that each account into your paypal account works fine. For example, if you leave an old credit card that has expired, does not prevent you to use Paypal, but prevent you from connect to AppWorld.

    Thank YOU, you were right.  I signed in to Pay - Pal on my computer and discovered that you must add to your mobile phone and then activated.  You go to profile and add/EDIT a phone.  You will need to activate it!  I added my mobile!

    After I log into 'my world' and it worked!  God bless you.

    Two weeks of the trial, of many phone calls and e-mails to blackberry, verizon, paypal.  And none of them could tell me the answer.    YOU ARE THE GREATEST!

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to make calls from phone with my PIN code and fees

    I got my BB also because I was also asked for my PIN by friends from across the Atlantic. How to make the best use of my blackberry phone to make calls. I know that I need a date of purchase, but can the wifi works instead.

    You can use the WiFi for a lot of things on your phone, but unless you have a BlackBerry data plan, you will not be able to access all the features of BlackBerry like BlackBerry Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, etc... even in WiFi.

    If someone asks for your PIN, it is so that they can reach you through surveys BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), which uses your PIN to log in instead of the e-mail address, your telephone number.
