BlackBerry Smartphones unknown costs/BBM

Hello.

I noticed that credit is being taken out of my account but I don't really know why.

I thought it was the BBM, but I was under the impression that the messages sent through BBM surveys, around the world, were free...

Me and my friend abroad, have a BB 8520. I'm in the United Kingdom, my friend in the Netherlands.

I'm checking my history of usage, I'm on Orange PAYG and I see five pages of pretty much the same thing. There are a ton of em - this is simply copied and is just a sample:

Date & time compound type number/duration/flight (Kb) cost (£)
09/06/10 10:18 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/06/10 09:48 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 20:18 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 19:48 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 19:18 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 18:48 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 18:18 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 17:48 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 17:18 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 16:48 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 16:18 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 3.0 0.02
09/05/10 15:48 GPRS ap-prepaidsessio 6.0 0.03

I know it's only a few cents, but these are adding up to several pounds.

My texts are appearing as free, they should be. I have 300/600 free texts.

And I never have to make a phone call!

I have a text or use BBM.

It's just something I've noticed since a few days, but according to my history on my Orange account, it has been like that for a few weeks.

I contacted the customer service yesterday and I was told I have the data plan, £5 per month turns off my credit, even though I really didn't remember have a post about that for some time now.

So, Yes, why am I being charged, it is not free or...?

I'm a little confused tbh!

Thank you

* Edit: And by train type the message, an another 2 p disappeared...: s

Hiya!

Is this a real Blackberry data plan?  Do you have set up email on your device? BBM don't usually costs people money as it is usually charged on the data, but it is not exactly 'free. '

Your device automatically 'polls' e-mail about every 15 minutes. IM (such as BBM) also require the transfer of data.

I would like to ask your carrier the details of your "data plan" mainly because your billing details are indicating the costs of data pay per use.

GPRS General Packet Radio Service means:

An initiative of GSM to provide packet data services high speed for mobile devices. GPRS allows multiple users to share the same channel and allows users to virtually "one line" of all time; radio resources are only used when the data is actually transmitted or received.

In a Word session GPRS prepaid means that your data at a rate of ppu charged.

Please call your carrier for more details.

  • Setup of blackBerry Smartphone email and BBM number on 9780

    Hi all

    Recently, I noticed that my bbm "n" shortcut did not, all the other shortcuts like memo, calculator, etc. have been working well. I cross checked the "n" key on the message, e-mail etc., which works very well. It was obvious that the key is fine, probably thinking of the device is in need of an upgrade of the OS, I upgraded to 6.0.0.706 to the download site for the India BB software. Since then he has screwed my application of messaging and bbm on the device configuration. The problem started after I configured my device after the upgrade of the OS, without doing something fancy. Now, I am unable to work my e-mail installation or bbm.

    The trickiest part, the E-mail setup application:

    When I work through installation and choose the email Setup icon, ideally it should give me two options. 1. business account and 2.  Internet e-mail account.

    After the upgrade the email set up gives me settings to choose from business accounts, where the option of Internet e-mail account? After a thorough and exhausting, research in the community, I heard people talking about relocation of the configuration of the e-mail application. Done that but still no go. So now, I can't add my e-mail address, ' coz there is no option or how to configure it.

    For bbm:

    I have a return to the top of my contacts, which I've tried to run over and over again, but it brings back me to the original configuration and asks me to enter the display name. Now restore backup should restore my profile/contacts, but it doesn't. On a positive note, my shortcut for bbm works!

    I would also like to bring to your notice that I have a bis plan on my device, active, but after upgrading my app world or native applications do not work on bis but wifi. Strange! Now the question is why would the upgrade of a simple bone cause me so many problems. I upgraded my phone several times since I bought it. This is driving me crazy and crazy, this phone has an excellent reputation and does not mean I am a bit disappointed by his performance or his now making me hurt.

    Please help, I don't want to empty this phone!

    Hi MaeKan

    On BlackBerry 7 devices, BlackBerry ID is deeply integrated into our device, this is the main key for many applications on your devices. On your device Homescreen go to Options > device > BlackBerry ID > press the Menu key > click on Check for Updates if updates are available, if it will download on your device.

    Like you have several problem with your device, please try these steps in a sequence:

    1 - Save your pocket computer.

    3. and then do a restart of battery like that pull while the device is powered on remove your battery wait for a min. then reinsert back

    Once you did try BBM to see if it allows access. Or perhaps reinstall the BlackBerry Messenger application using the same method as mention earlier.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones only restore BBM contacts - how?

    Hello

    How can I restore ONLY my BBM contacts using the desktop software?  I looked through the choice of data but none like the right. I have a Torch 9800 and I use the latest office software. (6.0 bundle 1907)

    I use my BB especially for work it is setup with connection of mail company so last week when I had problems they have wiped my BB and now my email and business contacts sync works well again but I lost all my BBM contacts.

    In the restore office option, I use the "select parameters and device data" to select data to restore, but I cannot easily determine what type of data I should be restore so I didn't wipe my e-mail contacts existing or other parameters. Given that I had about 60 BBM contacts fields that show a counter that is close (and therefore looks promising) to the correct quantity are: Messages, folders, store of Trusted keys, stored key pocket, and recent contacts.

    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

    No, you're not... the latest version is 6.1.0 Bundle 34...

    See this KB for a list of all databases on the BB:

    • KB03974 List of all databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

    The appropriate injector is there. It's a shame you didn't otherwise save your BBM contacts... BBM itself offers the possibility to make a backup of contacts... I've always found that more useful than the ability to backup/restore of desktop software.

  • BlackBerry smartphones restore contacts BBM BB7 after using the BB10

    After testing a device BB10 (hot stuff!), I am now switching to my old camera BB7 (Bold 9900). I activated my Blackberry ID on the original device, but my BBM contacts are not restored.

    It's the same BB9900 that I used before, so all existing contacts are there, however, if I have messages one contact, I get the error message: "X is you as a contact. You want to re - invite X? »

    Thus, it has no restore option in the Options menu.

    How can I restore my BBM contacts on my older BB7 device?

    Thank you!

    When switch it on my BB7, I was prompted for my Blackberry ID quickly, but he was not invited to swap devices for some reason any. Subsequently, there is no option in BBM to restore my contacts list.

    Resolution:

    I already had the latest BBM so I downloaded the latest beta version of BBM on the Blackberry beta Zone. I've been invited "this feature requires a Blackberry ID" for the voice of BBM, who then got to configure my Blackberry id I was then able to choose switching devices. Now, I have all my BBM contacts on my BB7.

  • BlackBerry smartphones remove old bbm

    How can I remove the old bbm and get the new version

    Really do not delete first... just install the new over the old.

    I would say this: use your BlackBerry Messenger feature to back up your contacts, you have now, and also, do a full backup using the Desktop Manager.

    Use your BlackBerry browser to go to http://blackberry.com/messenger and download/install again the Messenger application.

    After installation and reboot if necessary, check your instant messaging, or downloads of the application folder.

    You can restore your contacts from the application of v.5 BBM or from Office Manager > Backup/Restore > advanced.
