Issue of SIM 8700 blackBerry Smartphones

Hello world

I don't know much about this topic, so I apologize in advance if this is a silly question.

My employer gave me a 8700 BB to use many years ago. I want to upgrade the phone, but they see no reason to make it work always. If I choose to buy a new phone on my own dime, can I take the SIM card on the 8700 and put it in the new phone? I have had colleagues tell me, that's all that is needed, but it just seems too easy.

Any help is really appreciated!

Blake

Oh, and depending on the SIM card and the new feature that you get, you MAY want / need to get a SIM swap for a new SIM card from your service provider. For example, AT & T had about five different versions of SIM over several years, and while in general there may be no problem, if you have the SIM card in the 8700 for a few years, a new 3G device (for example, a model 9700 or 9800) may work better and get a better signal with a SIM from newer technology.

Make sense?

  • Issue of BB big blackBerry Smartphones! Information is automatically deleted and phone is loading & all the freezing time.

    Hi all!

    Recently, I unlocked my blackberry torch 9800 and start using a Korean SIM. The name of the carrier is Olleh. As soon as the phone loaded with Korean sim card I expect a lot of problems with my phone. The black timer icon appears whenever I try to use the phone to do anything pictures/SMS/calls etc. This makes the use of any application, that really need me a lot of time, and more that the phone is slow.  It's as if the phone is blocked and it is always busy, which makes the battery last less than 2 hours. Then begins the most serious problem. Because of what I described, I run very often of the battery. When I load again the phone and turn it on, all the activity that I did the last time is deleted. This means that the history of calls, texts, contacts, memos and others disappear whenever I have run out of battery. Since I have this problem (about 2 weeks) I was not able to store contacts, record memos, set reminders etc.

    I read that there are no viruses for blackberry. I don't have many applications, so I don't think that it is a memory problem. My only guess, is that something in the configuration has changed when I unlocked the phone or put the card sim Korean. I looked in all the menus (options, configuration, etc) to see if something was wrong and that he could not solve the problem.

    I appreciate your advice and suggestions to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Try a battery pull if you please, with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot the device. This will clear all hide as restarting a PC. Then try again and see if the problem persists.

    Hi sorry to speak to you through a response. I am dyslexic and new web pages take a week or two to understand. This single answer took me half an hour both and so well forgive me to be short and precise. I left my phone at a house party, I attended a couple of days. I went last night and the screen started to go a little bit weird. I managed to text and bbm a cople of people before it went completely, but the screen is black when I put it at the start and slowly turns white with small red/pink stripes. I can hear texts and BBM which crosses so the phone should be ok? anyway I have to apologize to bring my own problem to you through someone else. I don't know if someone has used my phone to go on some horrible websites that I don't want to think or the phone had fallen from above, maybe somethings down the screen? do you know what ican do or maybe I just need to get a new phone do not know what to do.

    We can get this post moved to its own thread in the appropriate box.

    It looks like your screen may be damaged or even have been in a wet or moist environment.

    *******************

    If it's the humidity:

    This looks like what I've seen several times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a countertop bath during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause problems with keyboard and trackball up to this JUST-withered. Really, it is more common than you think.
    1 the battery immediately! Do not turn on your BlackBerry device.
    2. allow the device to dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days * (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it every day" by placing the battery in. Leave what would to dry completely. It takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can damage only (humidity + power = disaster).
    4. If the unit is hot after the drying period, let it cool to room temperature before placing the battery in the.

    Suggestions on your BlackBerry in a warm dry place (open, with battery):
    * Place the BB in a container of rice uncooked dry, and then you can also place it in one of the locations mentioned below.
    * On top of any heat dry emitting electronic components: TV or CRT, LCD, TV cable box / Satellite or plasma monitor
    * On the dashboard of your car on a day sunny

  • Valid question, no sim unlock blackBerry smartphones on Curve 8520

    Hello everyone would be grateful for any advice. I just finished the contract with Orange in the United Kingdom with a Curve 8520. They suggested to address a 3rd party unlock code editor, as their internal system takes at least a month to give the codes. I thought it was weird, but hey ho... I therefore now a code release, but to the point where I type mped and am about to give the phone code, I get the message "no sim" valid", and I can't enter the code in. Mped watch phone locked to the network screen.  I wonder if the SIM card is corrupted or damaged in any way? I haven't used the phone for several months that I had and didn't want to pay for a kidney and my first-born on roaming charges.

    Is there a non - SIM solution to unlock? I'm far, far away from the United Kingdom, in order to replace SIM Orange is not an option.  Thanks for any help

    Do you still have the card SIM Orange inside there? Have you tried to do it without a SIM in there or an another carriers SIM card in the phone?

  • 'Insert SIM card' blackBerry smartphones and SOS signal - sim and signal error

    Hi, this is my first post so bare with me

    My 9000 "BOLD", which ive had for a lil and now has decided to not give a signal more or even accept my sim card.

    Ive tried a complete cleaning of the handset (and I backed everything up), remove and reinsert the sim card and the good old battery pull but nothing works and the problem is still there.

    my phone is locked to t-mobile and I contacted them to help my problem, but they were dog-disorder absolute!

    What do you think I should do here?

    Thanks in advance

    If your phone don't like your SIM card and won't give you a signal, you should look into getting a phone that makes.

    If you are still in your warranty period, you should walk to your carrier for a replacement.  However, before doing so be sure to do a backup via Desktop Manager.

  • Email issues with Bold 9790 blackBerry smartphones

    I hope someone can help.  I was just in a Bold 9790.  Restored my backup (to a curve 9630).  Everything seems to work except...  When a new message arrives, the new email icon on the top of the screen.  And a new indication of e-mail (round red dot on my e-mail folder) is as follows.  but when I opened that folder, the new e-mail does not appear here.  I can access and read the new email by the new icon of e-mail on the top of the screen, but once read, this icon would have gone.  If I need to access this e-mail again, I have to go into display cases to find that email.  I checked that all email settings are correct.  There must be a setting that is not fair.  Please someone help.

    I am a new user of curve and I checked to make sure that this question has not already been posted, but if it was, and I missed it, my apologies! OK, so I have my curve synced up my work and personal e-mail. The problem is whenever I reply to a message that saves a copy on my curve. Is there a way to only get alerts when email is inbound and outbound DO NOT? I don't really need my email address to send my response to my Blackberry. I'm sure it's an easy fix, I just can't understand it!

  • Issue of identity of Blackberry Smartphones blackBerry 8900 Curve

    When you try to use the Blackberry app world, I received a message that I need to download a Blackberry ID. I got an option to download on the phone, I started.  Down load began and after about 4 hours has been attached to 17.  I somehow cancel and return to the screen of the App Store, a few days later, I tried to get into the App store again and I got the same message, download the code for Blackberry.  When started downloading it immediately came up with a screen showing the Blackberry identity, 100 installation.  It has been 5 days that this screen displays t it download at 100 and I can't erase or go to app world.  How can I delete?

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There are... many potentially relevant KBs public on it rather than trying to post links to them all here, I rather recommend you go here:

    and research... maybe on 'identity update failed', or something similar. Some of the results imply a policy that blocks, others speak AFN and other configuration items to address, still others recommend to remove the identity application entirely and let it start over fresh.

    The right solution for you depends on many factors... so your review of the relevant KB articles will hopefully result in your conclusion which will work for you.

    Good luck!

    I'm has you type "BlackBerry" to confirm the erasure pocket.  However, nothing happens then.

    Strange. Try to hit BB button. See if there's something on the menu that works.

    You will know when it happens. The device is blocked until he makes himself clean wiping.

    I have read that remove the Sim Card can clear up some blocking and reduce pulling the battery. Im running OS 4.7.0.109.  That I have no intention of leaving the United States is that true?  Can I remove it?

    You can certainly delete it.  I have not had mine since the day 1.  Just keep a very convenient place where you don't end up needing at some point in the future.
