Record blackBerry Smartphones Virgin Mobile

Hello

Yesterday I took a contract with Virgin Mobile for a Blackberry Curve 8520. I chose Virgin I had one talk mobile with them for years and wanted to keep my number with a minimum of fuss.

Have to say it was one of the worst "out of the box experiences' I recently had with any technology.

While the Virgin systems say the phone is registered, the site Blackberry say what is not have held to the hotline of the Virgin for 10 minutes and then listen to the Scissor Sisters (aaarghhh!) I was told that I would need to talk to a specialist in Blackberry that would call with 72 HOURS!

I googled this problem and it appears on several non-Blackberry forums / Virgin. If anyone can put me in touch with someone who can make me operational, I would be grateful. Is not on a phone out of combat for 72 hours (do not know how the weekend will this affect).

Thank you

JM

I called Virgin again and this time, that the music was "the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind" which, at the time, seemed entirely appropriate.

Operator has promised to call back with more information within an hour.

Shortly after I received confirmation of registration and has managed to set up my email properly. So I think I am now running.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Boost Mobile 9310 BBM works not

    Hello

    I recently bought two 9310's to Boostmobile.com. I activated phones and have the phone service and SMS. Pins and MMS do not work.

    After completing the race of customer service Boost Mobile (called six times to unable to people who do not have the slightest idea how to diagnose my problem), I spoke finally someone who discovered that the PIN is recorded as a Sprint not a PIN brooch Boostmobile. For this reason, Boost system will not my access phone to BBM.

    According to two different techniques, support people, a Boost pin has letters in line and my two new phones to Boostmobile.com have not all letters in the axis. This is what tech to rush to stop support because they thought I tried to record a Sprint Blackberry.

    For the last week, I was not able to get the boost to activate BBM because of this problem. Given that I bought two new phones and they have this problem, I do not think that send them back to get more than two phones will probably solve my problem.

    Does anyone know how to get Boost to activate my BBM service? Apparently their system won't let not my phones access BBM because the system thinks that they are the Sprint phones, but Boost has told me they do not know how to solve this problem.

    I can't begin to tell you how frustrated I am with Boost on the many hours of time I spent on the phone still does not get a resolution.

    I spoke with the support of Blackberry, and they told me that they cannot help me because it is a problem of Boost. But has no RIM to Boost power supply with the phone that has the pin of Sprint?

    Frustrated. Help, please.

    A few days ago, Boost Mobile Tech Support called me to let me know that the solution to the problem is that I need new phones. The phones that I have conducted with a PIN Spint. A big boost Blackberry has a PIN that has letters in the spindle. Since my Blackberry has not all the letters in the axis, it was done properly and I need to return two phones to Brightpoint order new phones.

    I don't have confidence in the present, because I assumed that my chances were good enough get two more of the same since I was initially two phones with the same question. But after 10 calls to boost, hours on the phone with people clueless and not getting anywhere, I saw no other choice.

    Last night, I received a call from Boost Mobile Tech Support to solve this problem. I told the person who told me that the phones were made with a Sprint pin and I needed to get new phones again. He was surprised to hear that, and then he told me that this was not correct. He asked if I was OK with him pass my plan to a different plan then return it restores on my orignial plan. It was supposed to pass by the activation of BBM twice to get BBM activated their system.

    It worked!

    Here are a few things I learned on the Boost Mobile Tech Support:

    (1) the people you talk to are not technical. In fact, they were pretty clueless and do their best to avoid disturbing the staff limited to engineers. At best, they are a conduit for the engineers.

    (2) If you can not get a resolution after hours on the phone, insisting that a 'ticket' is written on your problem and note the number of the ticket.

    (3) make sure that you get the ticket number. If you do not, there is a strong possibility that they said they wrote a ticket but do not have. For some reason, they really don't want to write a ticket. I had to insist to talk to the principal contractor to get a ticket started. This was my 6th time that I called for support and it had not yet started recording.

    (4) make sure that what they have written information about the problem on the ticket. The supervisor wrote the ticket because my phone has no cell service. When I called the next day to learn more, I got the person read the ticket for me and I found that my BBM problem has not been registered.

    (5) make sure that the information contained in the ticket are to the point. Engineers use this information to give a technical support more ideas on how to solve the problem. Then support will call you to try the idea of the engineer. Remember, technical support is an intermediary to the engineer. If technical support writes a wrong description on the ticket, the engineer will not be able to give good advice.

    (6) If no ticket is written when you get off the phone and the problem is not resolved, then you will have lost all of your time on the phone. Next time you call, you'll be all over again. It took me five calls until I discovered this.

    (7) the false information to support tech clueless that they believe are true, but not sure if it's true or not. You call then return another day, while the next person to whom you are speaking is in disagreement with what the previous person. You call then return another day, and you get yet another contradiction. I couldn't on how this happened.

  • Problem blackBerry Smartphones T Mobile browser

    Hello everyone, I just activated a monthly plan with T-mobile for my torch 9810, I can't access a Web page except the home page. I'm a timed message.

    I can access all the sites using the browser opera without any problem, that would be me mind not normally, but I don't see a way to make the browser opera, the default browser. has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix

    I was on T Mobile mount and they forced me to change certain settings without success, at the end of the call the tech guy told me that I have to live with it.

    all thoughts

    Thanks in advance

    mast

    You'll just have to live with it?  And they pay these people to solve your problems?

    Let me assure you here and now, you don't have to live with it.  The tech answer is unacceptable, and I hope you get a chance to say that T-Mobile.

    Okay, enough ranting.  As a general rule, if the Opera browser works and your BlackBerry browser does not work, this means that you have a package of generic data for your BlackBerry as opposed to an appropriate data BlackBerry (BIS) plan.  The tech did you know you have a BlackBerry phone?  I recall and make sure that this is the case.  Once you have recalled and confirmed, you'll want to register for the phone on the network.  Do so by following these guidelines:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB00510

    Next step, return of service on your phone directories:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB15402

    Finally, remove the battery while your phone is on, and then replace it.

    If these steps, excellent work.  If this is not the case, call the T-Mobile and explain that these steps were not working and like you a have the problem solved by them, or (b) do you have your problem of lift on BOARD for resolution without cost to you (that is your right if they cannot solve it.  It's actually in their contract with RIM).  In no case you "have to live with it."  I've never heard something so ridiculous!

    Keep us updated on your progress.

  • Record blackBerry Smartphones Bejeweled key

    Hi all...

    I'm new here and just recently bought my BlackBerry Curve 8900.  Last night I bought a Bejeweled of App World and when you try to run the application, I'm prompted for a registration key.  After reviewing the latest reviews, others have the same problem.  I tried to contact (EA Mobile) support by email, but I received a message that I need to go on their support site.  When I do that he invites me to send an email.  ???  I sent an e-mail to App World Support and finally I sent a message to EA, but so far there has been no response.  Everyone knows that and if so how did you get this resolved?

    Thank you for taking the time to read this!

    Thanks for the reply.  It ends up being a problem with enforcement and EA Mobile has released a updated version the next day.  Now, everything works fine.

    Thanks again!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones on (mobile) phone calls that my audio cannot be heard by the caller

    Just got a Blackberry "BOLD" replacement as a result of the original stops working (experienced a black screen).

    I can receive and send mobile phone, but my audio (speakers) may not be heard by the appellant or the person at the other end.  It's extremely frustrating.  My kids tried to call me and wish me a happy father's day, but they can't hear me.

    Can someone help me?

    If you look very closely at the top of the unit, which means that you are looking down on it from above, there is an icon of microphone with a line through it.  It's the button mute, and there is a good chance that you have postponed pressed her.  Press again to turn the sound back on and have your call of children that you back up before the father's day is officially over.

    Let us know if it helps to make a great father's day.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Google Mobile App will not complete the installation.

    I don't have a data plan, so I can't get the App Store.  This is the case, I went to Google to download Mobile from Google directly (via WiFi).  I was able to do, but when I went to run the application, he said he needed to complete the installation, and after that for a while, he said that it was impossible to complete the installation.  I was always connected to WiFi, as this was happening.  I don't think that it has nothing to do with not having a data plan, as I was able to install the Opera Mini browser (which I deleted it since) without a data plan, but perhaps I'm missing something.

    Dear everyone!

    First: sorry for the bad English :-)

    I have my Garmin to work. Yesterday, I did a full security check of my mobile. What does a hard reset (removed all memory of the phone) and now installed back safety record. I didn't do anything special, just started the Garmin and its worked. Why? I think that the phone can't install Garmin correctly the file downloaded, but when I deleted and has let the BB Desktop Manager to install it that everything went very well. If someone has the same problem try this option, its worth it!

    PS: of course, I wrote a letter to BB and Garmin support, but no one knew the problem...

  • Record blackBerry Smartphones problem

    On my screen, I made a folder to put all the shopping icons, I took the icons and moved them to the folder but now when I open the file nothing in it.  It shows nothing at all.  I only got the blackberry curve for 2 weeks and I did not understand this.  I just wanted a folder on the home screen to keep everything organized and so I wouldn't have so many icons to scroll.  Can someone please tell me why the folder is empty and where the icons are gone to?  Any suggestions at all would be great.

    This happened to me when I created first of all my folder and then once again recently. It is solved by a battery pull. Remove the battery with the phone on and leave it for 30 seconds. Replace and allow the phone for 1-3 minutes to restart. Then check the file back. Please let me know.
