• Blackberry Curve 8320 unlocked blackBerry smartphones

  Hello

  I have not actually bought my Blackberry yet, but I'm looking into it right now. I want to buy a unlocked Blackberry Curve 8320 which was previously on AT & T or T-mobile (I'm a couple more different). Anyway, I wanted to buy a Blackberry and place it on a data plan with Rogers Canada. I'm doing this because I want to be able to use BBM, so I think I need a data plan.

  I buy the Blackberry separately because I want to be able to use overseas when I use another GSM SIM card for example. I know doing it on contract is cheaper, but I don't want to do that because I will be locked on a 3 year contract and I won't be at the Canada for 3 years.

  I just want to know if the Rogers data network will work with a Blackberry unlocked as I described above. I asked Rogers customer service and they said that they cannot confirm that the Rogers data network will be to 'connect' with the unlocked Blackberry because it once belonged to another provider and I should buy a Blackberry from Rogers. I don't know if they just said that if I would buy the Blackberry from Rogers rather than elsewhere. I know the unlocked Blackberry should work fine with a regular for calls and SMS GSM SIM card and all that but I want to know specifically about BBM - ing.

  Sorry, my question is so long. Thanks a lot for your help!

  While Canadian companies may be different from their American counterarts I do not that the differences are only significant to materially affect my response.

  When you buy a 'new' locked onto a support device will be offered the device at a price at a price significantly lower than the retail price recommended for her.  That's what prescribed contractual lock in as they recover for the duration of the contract, the difference between what you pay and the cost.  They're subsidizing the price in order to collect a healthy monthly fees for access.

  All U.S. carriers require a data plan for smartphones in addition to any general "plans" for just minutes and text packages etc.  I guess that Canadian businesses require the same.

  In order to use BBM you need a dataplan carriers which is what allows your device use the features of the BIS (Blackberry Internet service) requiring Blackberry data push, e-mail, all what is "data".

  This is a new in the box device purchased by your friends at Rogers.  They sold you a Blackberry and they dance as they listen to the registry will chaching.  This is music to their ears.  This is an item being sold and it is "locked" to Rogers.  Of course, for each month of your servitude under contract happen to dance again once the Registry continues to provide them with more chaching.

  You bought a camera from them, you can use it at this stage only with them.  They will be as you might or might not be aware subject to various and assorted penalties if you tire of their service or their absence and take your business elsewhere, or try.  Costs of early termination can easily exceed your initial cost plus for a premium, in a credit institution, violating laws governing wear.

  It's what keeps dissatisfied customers even with the carriers that are less satisfactory.  It is just too expensive to leave while allowing some, but not all carriers for you 'sell' the balance of your contract to another.  If Rogers of permits that are unknown to me.

  If you buy an "unlocked" device it is expected of the band is compatible with Rogers (GSM/CDMA as the case may be) perfectly capable to be activated on their network.

  Their after-sales service is to use a euphemism, blowing smoke.  They know perfectly well that a device unlocked regardless of its origin.  They won't make you a device for which they do not receive rewarding chaching first and make run on their network.  Since you did not pay a subsidized price for the device that you are not obliged to a three-year plan or some length Rogers requires for locked for new devices.

  While they play stupid indeed hoping you will buy them and locked himself in a service contract.  It's guaranteed money for thirty-six months.  It's a lot of money.

  Assuming you get to admit only a 8320 unlocked (GSM) will play well with their network that you can buy a phone, monthly data on the plan without being locked in a period of time.

  You will absolutely need the dataplan however, at least the minimum plan they offer will prevent access to the services that make it a Blackberry.

  Of major importance for you in as long as purchaser of a used instrument is the only one not is indeed "unlocked" but the PIN was released by the former owner and the access to its carrier, T-Mobile or AT & T.  Every Blackberry is assigned a unique PIN that lives with her forever.  For example, if I want to sell my unlocked Blackberry Storm I will have to make arrangements for the release of the Verizon PIN so that a subsequent purchaser can activate the storm on Verizon (my service provider) or such that it is unlocked any service provider, as it really is a universal device capable of activation on a CDMA/GSM/UMTS network or Global.

  I would like to buy a used if and only if it is verifiable that the PIN was released by the previous owner/carrier.  With the instrument in hand, it can be checked on the device or not it is unlocked.  The output of the SPINDLE must be verified by the previous carrier and I'm too cynical, but I wouldn't take the word of the seller unless it was a very trustworthy family member and even then, I would like to politely ask for verification.

  Rogers wants money on your part.  They want the money upfront to sell you a Blackberry and they want the contract guaranteed money for the long term for the months down the line.  For Rogers, it's win/win.

  You can, even if it's an expensive to buy a new device of Rogers at the MSRP and not you will not lock in a three-year contract.  The majority of carriers who does not advertise that the difference is more than lost long-term do not lock you in their.

  I hope this helps.  If I appear cynical, it's because I am.  Carriers are there to increase their profits and integrity is lost in the maze.

• Problems with unlocking blackBerry Smartphones

  Hello, I have problems with my Blackberry Storm (Verizon). I got an unlock code and followed the instructions correctly, and he said that the code has been accepted. I put in my China Mobile SIM card, and sometimes it will fit and work properly (at the top and 'edge' under the signal bars, said CHINA MOBILE), other times it won't (go see just travelling triangle and '1 X' under the signal bars). Maybe nobody knows what could be the problem? Both times he will read the same info under 'Status' and 'SIM card' in the Options on the phone.

  Thanks for any help!

  I can tell you this...

  1 X is CDMA

  and

  Edge is GSM

  If you pass (correctly or incorrectly) in both directions between the signals. IN the management of connections > Mobile network > network technology, you can choose one or the other, why not try only GSM or 1XEV for awhile and see how it locked to one or the other.

• Unlocking blackBerry Smartphones 8830 World Edition GSM and code provider

  Hello

  I'm a guy unsavvy tech and have an 8830 World Edition phone. Bought this from Auntie Indicom (Vendor ID: 269), a CDMA operator which also provided a GSM SIM for only international roaming. Last month, number portability Mobile came into India, and I went to a GSM provider, Vodafone India. After the transfer of numbers, simply inserted the new Vodafone SIM and the phone and Blackberry services are working well with the new operator. Two questions:

  1. from the Options-> advanced-> SIM card Options, after typing MEPD, I see:

  ID: a large number

  Customization:

  Disabled SIM

  Active network

  Network subset disabled

  Service Provider disabled

  People with reduced mobility

  Does this mean that my Blackberry is locked? If Yes, is it blocked by Vodafone? Given that I have moved the Auntie service provider Vodafone and does not seem to wear the same number on the same phone, aunt locked the phone.

  2. type Alt-EACE, I always see the Vendor ID 269 (Auntie). See also the logo of Auntie initially upwards. Is it possible that I can change the ID of the seller or at least stop getting the start screen for the old vendor? This ID Vendo has something to do with the above-mentioned lock?

  Would be very grateful if some kind soul illuminates.

  Thank you

  There must be something different on a BB WE that allows the use of other SIMs, though always stuck at home carrier. Odd, but your experience proves the theory. I seriously doubt that release will make a difference, but certainly to try I guess.

  I don't know why your BB is as you describe... but, I want to propose the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried. However, you want to be careful here. I don't know how you originally got your BB running services on your current operator. All BB services are controlled by the Service books. If a carrier does not natively support a BB model on their network, there are a few things that need to be taken to get these SBs on than non-native BB. If only it had to do, don't go here... you could just wipe out all your services level of BB. But if none of these tricks are required (which would mean that your carrier supports natively your BB model), then you should be safe to go ahead.

  Steps 1 and 2 each should translate into a message to your BB to come:

  (1) registry HRT

  • KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with wireless network

  (2) Service reference books

  • KB02830 Send the directories for the BlackBerry Internet Service

  (3) restart to take batt

  • 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.

  Maybe it will make a difference. I really do not know about you, to be honest. It's a tricky business, and you can well serve just as well by getting a new BB you get from your carrier... which by the way, you would have at least that the formal support at your disposal channel.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Verizon Will still work if I unlock my BB Storm 2 Verizon / 9550

  Hello

  I hope I'm not duplicating an existing thread... but could not find the question / answer until now.

  I have really two questions (which are linked)

  1. I have a BB Storm 2 on Verizon and purchased an unlock code. However, before unlocking, I wanted to make sure that I can use my phone / email / data from my existing Verizon account. The reason why I'm unlock the phone in the first place, is that I want to give my mother in Germany in about a month, which will be used with a different local provider.

  2. once I give the phone to my mother in Germany, she would be able to use it just via WiFi or she will have a provider and the data plan to send e-mails? She didn't really need it as a phone, just to send by e-mail. I don't know, however, whether she would be able to put up with an e-mail account if it doesn't have a regular wireless provider.

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Don't worry, you will still be able to use your phone on Verizon when unlock you. Be sure to enter the code carefully and that you get only 10 tests and then it will be permanently locked to Verizon.

  Once you give the phone your mother in Germany, she will be able to use the browser and a few apps through wifi, but if she wants to use the features of e-mail or something like BBM, it will need a BlackBerry data plan (a regular data plan is not enough). So now, if she is simply using a service like Gmail or Hotmail e-mail, she can just connect via the browser on wifi and manually check his emails. But it's the only option for wifi use.

  I hope this info helps!

• Unlocked blackBerry Smartphones using bb curve 9310 w/Tmobile without data

  Hello, I'm looking to buy a bb curve 9310. For the moment, I'm in a 2 year contract with calls unlimited-Tmobile & text, no data plan.
  
  I need to change my phone and I would like a blackberry because I have a lot of text, and also I would use its WiFi capabilities as well.
  
  I did some research and it seems to be is not as simple as just buy the phone and put a SIM card. I just want to know if I would be able to use a unlocked bb curve with my Tmobile SIM 9310 (plan of 2 years, no data)
  
  I already know that I won't be able to use features such as BBM. I'm waiting until my contract expires and may then add a data plan or change of provider.
  
  Any response would be greatly appreciated as I need to change my phone as soon as POSSIBLE.
  
  Thank you!

  What happens with companies like At & t and Verizon. However, T-mobile in the United States is not that. I have an iPhone and a BB 9780 for two of my children on family plans for $5 per month - no data plan.

• Unlocked blackBerry Smartphones Software Update has not received the AT & T brand PRIVATE when you use a non - AT & T SIM card

  Dear whom it may concern,

  I saw one of the support forum of Blackberry Web site on "software update, not received the AT & T unlocked brand PRIVATE when you use a non - AT & T SIM card". How can I receive the OTA update in the notification bar?

  Now, my OS is Mashmallow 6.01 build No.. AAF355 (June 1, 2016) or do I have to update (auto loadder) my Priv to AAG873 in order to get the direct OTA from Blackberry in the future.

  Thank you

  Good questions. I can speculate only at this stage. I guess that since it is updated by BB, they use a revision update for all devices to facilitate management. AT & T updates their different, since they have different methods of approval (Note T-mobile even updated as unlocked devices). Unless you want to get specific version of AT & T that could fix something that the other version does not work, I'd wait for the OTA. I did three refills of OS because I couldn't OTA of AT & T, and they take a lot of time. Take the time then to restore and to reconfigure all the settings you had before. Not funny.

  To be more precise questions. Depends on you, but for me, would be updated via OTA only now that it's available. Yes, if you want auto charger, use AT & t. even as before, wait for OTA, unless you have a specific automotive need load the operating system.

• CODE of THE CARRIER DO WORK of UNLOCKING blackBerry Smartphones?

  Might help some one please! I bought my carrier unlock mep code "Wind Mobile Canada ' I followed the steps on how to enter mep # s in and I get error." Called my operator crossed the IMEI # s everything matches code they game me corresponds to tried again and I still get the error in my opinion the gave me a wrong code, they say that it is the right 1 they got her BlackBerry. So now, that I had no idea was to turn to I got 2 trys left... My IMEI is #.

  could someone pls PM me with a code to c if it corresponds to a wind gave me thank you...

  EDIT: For your security, personal information such as lMEI are prohibited. Please see the guidelines of the user   under article ""be sure to." "

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  The provider, you, the unlock code is solely responsible for this code. Before exhaust you your attempts, you should talk to them some more about 1) fixed it 2) what they will do to you if they insist you keep trying and then exhaust all attempts (so hard - lock, leaving only the factory RIM able to unlock).

  No matter who is responsible (WIND or RIM), the WIND is your only source of use... they can degenerate into RIM if they can't understand it. You have no channel to seek help directly from RIM, without going through the WIND. You work with WIND and climbing through them.

  Good luck!

• Unlocking blackBerry smartphones

  I bought blackberry bold 9780 and the carrier has been T-mobile. I moved to Africa and wanted to unlock the phone so I can use the available local networks. Now I have exhausted all 10 tests given and cannot unlock. Its gives me "0 left" and cannot do anything with it now. Any help?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  Once all attempts fail, the BB is hard locked on the original media. The official method to unlock it now is to send it to the factory and ask them to unlock it. You can ask your provider if they would help, but since you are not yet using one of their devices, they can be reluctant. Also, I heard, even if everyone agrees to do, cost more than just buying a new.

  Good luck!

• Screen unlock blackBerry Smartphones can not your password

  I have a problem with my 8520 son

  When you press the up button or trackball, does not appear the password screen to unlock the phone. I tried:

  The soft reset, the soft reset double

  Take the battery, leaving for a bit, then put it in.

  Plug into the computer, accurate results in the phone being glued connection.

  I can't access the phone so I can do a factory reset, unless there is a way to do with going into the menus of the phone.

  I don't know if the problem is related to a live wallpaper tropical fish that he downloaded from the blackberry store, before the problem occurred, any ideas how to get rid of?

  do a battery pull.  When the red light goes on the front of the phone, press and hold the back

  button all the time while the phone is in boot.  When initialization is complete, the phone goes into safe mode.
