BlackBerry smartphones can't call in or out on 8520

Hi all, hope you can help.

BlackBerry 8520
Bought used phone, put in my SIM Tescomobile
Received a Tesco welcome text

Since then the apears phone to be blocked, it won't send or receive calls or texts.

Manage connections > service status > phone mobile: not available
Connection: not connected

Options > advanced options > SIM card > SIM card: security-disabled

Thank you for taking the trouble to answer.

Laurie

Yup - it turns out you're right.

Finally got through Orange which are source of origin of the phone. They say it's on the IMEI blacklist.

Well - that'll teach me (and I hope others here) to buy a phone on Ebay. :-)

Thanks for your help

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not call numbers from contact list?

    Hi, I have a blackberry curve 8350 and for some reason whenever I try to call a number in my contacts list, it indicates the code or number I dialed is incorrect, and please try again.

    I know that the number is just because they can call me very well, if I dial the number calling me, but when I try to do from the list of contacts it just won't let me.  Its a problem because I don't remember hundreds if the number I have stored.

    I noticed that when my phone is to dial the number, it always puts a sign before the number as his try dialing international or something.  For example I want to call 216-478-9876, but my phone dial + 216-478-9876.

    I'm so lost, and any useful information would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Welcome to the Bennie06 forums

    I think it has to do with your smart dial settings. In the list of phone go to menu > Options > Smart Dialing. Make sure your country code is + 1 if you are in the USA/Canada. I think it will work. If this isn't the case, post back with the settings were there.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can HP fax/printer "dial out" through 7130 or model later?

    I own a Blackberry 7130 and have no phone land line to my office. I have suppliers who only receive orders by fax or mail. Is there a solution to connect my HP 5500 fax/printer to the 7130 and "dial", send the fax?

    If not, is there a newer model with which this feature is possible?

    Thanks in advance,

    Richard

    Hello

    The answer is: No.

    But there are a lot of other options to sedn faxes fomr the BB.

    Print2Fax is a software that allows you to send an email receipt/attachment as a fax through a third party.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not download applications

    Hello, I recently brought the new 9320. I have the card memory base San Disk that come with the Blackberry. Also, as soon as I put the phone I downloaded Blackberry Desktop Support software. The desktop software and storage on the phone at the same time options I have a 14.4 MB remaining on the phone storage and 1.4 GB left on my memory card. When I try to download apps on the phone via my WiFi it is said that there is not enough remaining space. I guess that the phone will only attempt to download the application in the device memory. Is it possible that I can get the phone to automatically download the application directly on my memory card? Or is there another problem that prevents me download apps?

    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) application memory, the device memory) 2 and 3) Media/SD Card Memory.

    Application memory - it is the most important; It is protected (not available to the user), dedicated and (fixed size) space as the destination for the installation of applications (the BONE itself more certain applications storage, overhead and such). You can't touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can install only here... There is no other choice.

    The device memory - it is space on your BB you can touch these files, images, media, etc. In general, it is not very big, but it is available.

    Memory card SD/Media- is what it says... your SD card to store files, media, photos, etc.. It can be as large as your BB OS can support... see this KB:

    • KB05461 Sizes of card MicroSD taken in charge by the BlackBerry device software

    On some devices/OS levels, you can see 'Free file' (Options > status), I think this is equivalent to AppMemory. You can see on other devices, all the memory usage levels three (Options > memory). Here are some tips to use:

    • KB02843 What is the function of low memory manager on the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB14320 How to maximize space and power battery life on the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB14213 Call logs, SMS text and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone

    Finally, it is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. On the contrary, to close an application, tap on and select 'Close' or 'Quit'... which force the application to be closed, freeing resources for your new use it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

    In addition, each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy. Some have taken to do this on a regular basis as a preventive measure... some as often as once a day. Others got the app QuickPull to automate a simulated Batt Pull.

    Thus, issues of the app, it is a question of AppMemory... Please see the information above in order to maximize the amount of free AppMemory on your BB. If your particular model of BB has a limited amount of total AppMemory, then you must understand the mixture of 'must have' for you and then give priority to your "optional elements" in order to charge as much as you can, sacrifice these things of lower priority.

    Good luck!

  • 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:

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

    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 phone calls

    This morning, having never had a problem with my phone before, I have a message that says "SIM card rejected" right to the very top center of my screen.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not CONNECT to THE SERVER

    Hello need help. My Blackberry Curve 8520 (OS 5.0.0.1036) does not connect to the server. It shows my network (Vodafone) and gets a strong signal; makes and receives calls; connect wifi; but it is also completely static. After the first Setup email screen I get: your device has a connection to the server problm.  (I think it means the Blackberry server?)  So I can not connect any email.  Very well in my other near-identical Curve 8520 Sim Card work.  How can I do please?  Y at - it a reset or software update is complete I can undertake? Thank you, Michael

    I can help you with the it policy... lack of procedure for access to the BES server, this (and only this) cleanse a BB to an it policy:

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

    If you do a backup/restore, don't do this basically... rather, backup/restore only the databases specific you need (for example, calendar, contacts, messages, etc.) and more precisely to avoid data bases having something to with COMPUTER policy, business, etc.. If you restore those, the it policy will be conscientiously restored to the device, and you will be right where you are now.

    As for a BES Server trying to reach out... There is nothing that I can offer you. Your best bet is to talk to your provider and make sure you have no BES-level service enabled on your account of them. Who should (note 'should'... is there no guarantees) prevent a BES server to reach out and the reactivation of your device.

    Good luck!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There is virtually no diagnosis of those - they are the equivalent of random errors in Windows for which trace the root cause is futile. Basically, here's the last out in the programming code - some event occurred for which there is no event handler in the code. The patch is an update of the code that handles the event... but, again, what is the event is almost impossible. So, there are a few things to try:

    Sometimes, the code simply is damaged and needs to be updated - just like a reboot:

    • Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    If it doesn't boot properly, then you need to try Safe Mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in safe mode

    There may be a code updated to the value of the carrier - check out them through this Portal:

    The toughest possible causes are a bad application behave. To find it, there are two options. Is to see if you can read the log file:

    Go to the home screen. Hold down the "alt" key and type "lglg". (You won't see anything as you type). This will bring up the log file. Scroll down (probably a lot of pages) until you see a line that says "eception execption. Click on this line. The application name will be in the info. Alternative methods to implement the newspapers are in this KB:

    • KB05349 How to activate, view, and extract the the event logs on a BlackBerry smartphone

    The other method is to remove the apps one at a time, wait a while between the two (I usually recommend a week), until the problem stops... revealing the offending application. Yet another method is to recharge the BB OS itself, leaving little time between the addition of other applications on the BB in order to be able to determine exactly what is the cause.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not access e-mail, internet or BBM

    Hi, I think I have a problem similar to the previous posters... my mother gave me her blackberry tour when it improved and I had unlocked it (from a cell in Sasktachewan provider) so that I can use it for my move to Dubai.  In Canada, I was able to use the voice, SMS, email access and BBM... through FIDO.  I couldn't see any internet icon so I hadn't any data plan.   He paid for everything.

    I had a working VISIT before and was able to access the voice, SMS, internet, BBM... that's the difference between enterprise blackberry (which I suppose is available only for companies) vs the Blackberry Services (Email or social networks) for personal use?

    When I moved to Dubai, I pulled the FIDO sim card and got a (Yes... sim card "du").  Then, I paid for and activated my blackberry services (email / BBM) However, when I tried to configure my email account, I got an error "your device had a problem connecting to the server.  I tried pulling out the battery, to register using the Advanced Option, host of routing, register online at du.blackberry.com and when I try to register there, I get the message that says that my device cannot be registered and to try to register through the advanced options and if it does not contact my wireless provider.

    A technical support person come back to me and said that my blackberry service is related to my previous provider wireless (FIDO) and I had to call FIDO to get the PIN out.  I did this and FIDO said that he has been released.

    I tried to repeat the previous steps for registration / establishment of email and I still get the same errors.

    Initially when I got the sim card, they have enabled a social account of blackberry for me and it wasn't what I wanted so they it disabled.  I wonder if somehow my camera is actually saved with, but in terms of bad... so that's why I can't access email / bbm service.

    Thoughts?  I'm kind again on the whole cell phone thing and not a techie so please be explicit.

    Thank you!

    You can, but with a fresh incident support of approximately $49US by.

    Otherwise, your mobile operator with which service you should intensify your call to support technical level RIM.

    The 9630 is not okay to operate on, without some configuration real depth and even then it may not work well. You will need to follow the directions in the initial post of this thread linked below, and instead of Tmobile or ATT, you're going to need service books for the.  It's not easy.

    http://www.BlackBerryForums.com/General-9500-series-discussion-storm/180267-unlocked-storm-t-t-Mobil...

    My best advice... because I've done this before... is to get a non-CDMA device that works perfectly on, as a model 9700 or 9780 or 9900. Not the 9630, 9650 models.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can with line within the list of Contacts (most of the time)

    Hello.

    My wife and I have all two storm with Verizon phones and I synced our contacts on two phones using Google Sync all contacts appear to be normal and functional.

    On her phone, when I'm inside the contact list and try to call a person from there, the phone screen opens but nothing happens.

    All of these steps produce this problem:

    -by selecting an entry in the contacts list and pressing the green button

    -opening of the contact first, by selecting a number (e.g. Mobile) and then pressing the green button

    -opening of the contact, select a number (e.g. Mobile) and using the menu button and "call Mobile".

    The only way it works is if I first enter the phone screen and choose the Contacts there - then it works.

    No idea what this can be?

    We talked to someone from Verizon, and they said that we had to hold the green button or the menu entry "Call Mobile" (etc.) for a period of time - never heard of this before and it didn't work ONCE - while remaining in the store...

    On my phone, everything works as you would expect, but I ran an update as soon as I got on the phone, so maybe that's why it works for me.

    On the other hand, this update wiped out all the information on my phone, and I had to download and configure everything again and install all the extra stuff from scratch, that's why I didn't run an update on the phone my wife again.

    Thus, a question is: if I create a backup with the Desktop Manager and then run an upgrade of the blackberry software, can I restore all settings and other programs downloaded with this backup?

    Thank you!

    No.... I'm on VZW and their current production OS (. 75) and numbering by any of the ways describe you works very well. Something is wrong with her camera... What is proposed is a refill of OS in an attempt to clear up the problem.

    But first... I have to ask, did you do a battery pop reboot? We know that these devices suffer from memory leaks and other, testify to the weird behaviors. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning.
