• BlackBerry smartphones giving my wife my 9780

  Hello, first post on this forum.

  A hardware upgrade, I now use a Q10.  I give my wife my Bold 9780.  We have just received his SIM card from our supplier.

  I wonder to get his phone to work do we just put new SIM card in the "BOLD" or do we need to reset the phone and erase all my information out there?  I don't know that she doesn't want all my information out there.

  I have all the information from the old phone transferred to my PC and on the new phone.

  Thanks in advance.

• BlackBerry Smartphones bluetooth on pearl 9105 - does not work

  is not working for an another BB even an another 9105... I can 'connect' by bluetooth with other devices but cant transfer any image or receive, either

  who is wrong?

  Hello!

  See this KB:

  • KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones

  If your device is non - BB, then substitute in the KB, the instructions appropriate for your device. Unless you're on BB OS 6 or 7, do not skip the step of "Receive using BlueTooth" on the receiver BB... nothing will transfer if you do.

  If not, please provide additional details... exactly the steps you try, exactly the results, error messages, etc. Such brief information, it is difficult to provide specific assistance to our internet distance.

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry smartphones is my Pearl unlocked?

  I'm not sure but I think I have unlocked my 8110 Pearl a couple of years.  Is it possible that I can say?  I no longer use the phone, but I used with AT & T. If it is not unlocked, how can I do then?

  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
  Unlocks

• BlackBerry smartphone T-Mobile Pearl 8220 Email configuration issues

  Hello

  When I tried to configure my personal e-mail with my BB Pearl 8220 (T-Mobile), there is no option for a personal e-mail account, only a business account. Can someone help get the personal account option to introduce or know something about it?

  Thank you

  -Dan

  Do you have a data Plan BlackBerry enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?

  You have to, to get the push RIM email functions you are looking for, as well as services of BlackBerry data such as the Web browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger and much more.

  Then call your carrier and you learn about to have added to your account BlackBerry data Plan.

  Good luck.

• BlackBerry Smartphones unlock my Pearl 9100 3

  Sorry if this is in the wrong place, its my first post

  Anyway, I have a BlackBerry with WIND Mobile to the Canada and they provide unlock codes for phones for customers who are in good standing after 3 months with them.

  Question 1 - does release the vacuum device its guarantee? (even if the WIND gives it free?)

  2 - How would do to get the menu unlock

  3 - How long should the code be? (Just to be safe)

  4 - can I turn off the radio before that? Do I need to have the SIM card of other providers? (I hope no, I'm going to Europe and I'll get a SIM card it)

  Thanks in advance

  No.... but you would be sure to check with your warranty provider... who also happens be the WIND.

  Follow this FAQ:

  BBPearl3G-wrote:

  3 - How long should the code be? (Just to be safe)

  I don't remember if it varies according to the circumstances, but the last time I used one (on a torch), it was 16 characters long. If, on your first try, you're 200% (Yes, 200%) positives that you entered it correctly, but it does not work, then try just once more (300%). If it still fails, then stop and contact WIND... you get only 10 chances before it is locked for always at his home carrier.

  # You have really need to have your home SIM up and running on their network. Then follow the FAQ to enter the code. After that, you can stop and use other SIMs.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones second use of the 8100 Pearl

  I recently bought a Pearl 8100 on Ebay. She is excellent and has all the grouped items. However, I wonder if there are pitfalls I should be aware of a second user.  I need to re-register, etc.? I'm older, but use a laptop without frequently myself!   I wish I had the experience of any person who has been in my position.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not connect BlackBerry Pearl 9105 for PC

  Hello world

  I have the following problem:

  After using my BB Pearl 9105 for almost 3 years, I can not connect to PC more (I still menu with choice of 3 options on my smartphone when I connect, but when I click on that option "usb" or "charge", the menu appears again).

  In addition, the PC does not recognize my smartphone as a usb device. Updated BlackBerry Desktop Software and the purchase of the new Micro-USB cable did not help.

  I can still load.

  Could anyone suggest me how to solve this problem?

  In addition, make sure you use only the root USB ports... without hubs (sometimes the front-end ports are hubs... use a rear USB port). And don't forget to try to disable the USB power management in the configuration of your system (Device Manager).

  Check also on the incompatible software... it was reported that NTI Shadow Ninja & software can cause a conflict; Remove and reinstall the desktop software BB allows to install correctly.

  My apologies in advance if this is redundant - there is no way to be sure that if you have already seen and tried these. Also apologies if all are not currently available... RIM takes their monte and descends at will as they revise things.

  I hope that something it is useful!

  See you soon!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Pearl 9100 OS 6 Dial - Up Networking DUN (how is this possible with Telstra) for Mac Wireless Modem

  Hello

  I would like to know how can I have dial-up networking (via my Pearl 9100 OS 6 as a modem for my Macbook Pro 6.2 wireless) and also the information that should be applied for Telstra Australia...

  Thank you

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Reference:

  • KB19641 How to configure a BlackBerry smartphone as a modem attached to a Mac

  Note carefully please that this feature requires your service plan to include the ability... not all levels of service include plan, and not all carriers offer. In addition, sometimes additional software for your computer must be obtained from the carrier. But, carrier specific questions should be directed to the carrier... here, we can only give you the credits information... your operator must provide you with all of the specific information required.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones copy contacts from Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl flip

  I need to move/copy contacts from my Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl, I already downloaded the bb desktop software... ideas pls?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

  • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
  • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

  In addition, you could (I think should) use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO). You must choose a compatible PIM of this KB. Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

• BlackBerry Smartphones user 1 time BB

  Hi guys,.

  I am a first time user, so I have a lot of questions on this BB curve. I bought a second hand curve and I have no idea how to set this phone (only bought the model, it has no manual and accessories). Here are my questions and thanks in advance to those who can answer:

  1. my IP address is 0.0.0.0 - I can connect to the WiFi network but I can't browse the web

  2 if I have the program installation/create a bb here id, can I use it on my handheld?

  3. what an erasure of memory wipe exactly and an erasure of memory affect my id card/BBM SIM as well?

  Hi Alex121289

  Welcome aboard BlackBerry family and community

  First I would like to that you visit BlackBerry 101 and manual BlackBerry Curve - manuals and Guides for getting started

  Secondly if you have purchased a device used by one of your friend or any store online then it is always advice to do a security wipe to remove any objects associated with the previous user. You can see this help Article:

  KB28225 : BlackBerry Smartphone must be wiped before transferring the security property

   

  With regard to your questions:

   

  1 carrier little need short data even plan to navigate the Internet, even via wifi. So aske your operator if you need some sort of data plan to your account

  4: you can create a new BlackBerry ID on the site Web de BlackBerry ID that you can use on your device, see this KB:

  KB24062 : How to create a BlackBerry ID

   

  3. If you do a security wipe on your device it will remove all the installed user application, e-mail accounts so that your card memory if you insert memory card while doing a security wipe. Yes, it will remove the BlackBerry ID that is already associated with this device, after a wipe, you can use a new BlackBerry ID or even that you use before, but a security wipe has nothing to do with your SIM card.

  However... With your query 1"not able to navigate on the internet". Like you bought this device in some cases if your device has a COMPUTER policy then IT can prevent browser so my suggestion... Rather than to do a security wipe you reset your device to factory setting, this will remove all political and helps solve your problem.
