Use of Smartphone unlocked blackBerry PEARL 8110 in Europe

AT & T gave me an unlock code for my Pearl a few years ago upon request.  I've never used to unlock the phone, because I went to another telephone shortly after.  The Pearl was just sitting and wait until yesterday when I used the MEPD method to unlock the phone.  I think I've succeeded.  Under 'Advanced Options/SIM Card', everything is indicated as "disabled".  However, it is also said to 'no SIM card valid', and on the main screen, it says that "initialization failed", as well as the AT & T logo.  The phone is apparently connected to the AT & T network, but allows only 'emergency calls '.  The SIM card, I have used over unlocking is a European pre-paid card.  Of course, they have no coverage here, so I do not expect to be able to use the phone with the SIM here.

I plan to travel to Germany next week and to use the Pearl out there.  I don't just want to use my other phone out there (locked to AT & T) and pay their horrendous roaming charges.  Since I've never done this before, I want to assure you that I did really well.  I don't want to leave the plane and be without a working phone.

Does anyone have any advice/comments/suggestions?  Really unlock my Pearl for good?  What I have to use that particular SIM card or I can insert any other SIM card with service in Germany (I have a few others).  Is there anything else that I seemed not or should I do?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you wanted to test... here in the United States, borrow or guy a cheap Tmobile prepaid SIM.

You should be fine.

  • Problems sync outlook blackBerry Smartphones and blackberry Pearl 8110

    I have a similar problem with my Blackberry Pearl 8110, Desktop Manager 5.01 and Outlook 2003 SP3.

    When I try to synchronize my contacts from my Blackberry to Outlook, the process gets thru 'Read in the device address book' 90 and 90 files without problem.  It starts the process following "Treatment Device Address Book" and gets 86 90 files and stops and a pop error message window: [title bar] Intellisync. It has a red circle with 'X' white and says "Unable to read data from application." with an ok button.

    I uninstalled Desktop Manager 5.01 twice, deleted the folder Intellisync following "KB11703" with no luck.

    In the Intellisync [C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Research in Motion\BlackBerry\Intellisync] folder I found this file: PtTrace.log (see below):

    Help! I STILL NEED HELP WITH THE QUESTION, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SYNC MY CONTACTS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW!

    I couldn't find a solution for this, ANYWHERE so I just decided to fix this problem just upgrade to the new version of the BlackBerry Desktop version 6.0.0.40 software. And now, ALL my contacts synchronize with a problem.

    Also from the beginning of this problem and now I have also improved my Outlook 2003 to 2007 and then to 2010.

    So I do not know if the combo of doing all this software update fixed the issue of the contact crupt but its market not now and that's what I need.

  • Full cache of the body for Smartphones New blackBerry Pearl 8110

Because of this and my rough use togather, there are a lot of scratches on my phone and some cracks and bumps as well. Can someone help me get a new complete coverage of the body. Everything I find on the internet when I search covers is the doors of the battery or external rubber covers.

    I'm looking to replace the complete body of my Pearl, including side panels, the battery door and the front screen and the key board.

    Any help is appreciated.

  • Sync media of Smartphones from blackBerry Pearl 8100 and Vista Home Premium

    I would use Media Sync with my Pearl 8100, but I can't get the app to load.  I downloaded the application on my desktop and double-click on the file to begin the installation.  Vista immediately gives me a warning window stating that "BlackBerryMediaSync.exe is not a valid Win32 application".  New in BlackBerry App world, I assumed I had to use Desktop Manager to deploy the program on my phone first, maybe.  Of course, the .exe file is not even appear as an option when you use the Application Loader because it is not a type of files .alx or .ali file.

    Thus, MediaSync can even run on a 64 bit system?  I'm doing something wrong?

    Now, I could use the Media Manager to transfer mp3 files and listen to them on my Pearl, but I prefer to use Media Sync to sync with iTunes.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Solved the problem.  The downloaded file has been apparently damaged or incomplete, and that's what caused the error "invalid Win32 application."  I've downloaded the file again and everything works fine.

  • Smartphone blackBerry pearl 8110 txt problem

    I had my 8110 stolen a few weeks ago, but got a new a few days ago, everything goes well apart from when I txt punctuation and put into it will jump to the next line and put a capital in place, even if only a few characters have been used on the previous line. I know it's probably a setting somewhere but where? Any suggestions?

    Sorry to hear about the stolen phone

    Regarding your question, if this was not the case when you originally bought the phone, try a battery Pull:
    1. remove the battery while the phone is turned on
    2. wait a few seconds before inserting it again
    3. wait for the long end of the boot process (takes a few minutes usually)

    This clears most of the software problems that occur on the BlackBerry from time to time. You can also use Quickpull, a free application that simulates a battery pull without removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
    A battery pull gets lost when using the applications memory and clears minor software errors that creep over time. The blackberry is running an operating system just like your PC is running windows and battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot / restart your computer.

  • 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.

    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!

    Hi John1942 and welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums!

    Its possible you may have a filter defined in address book on your BlackBerry® smartphone.  In the address book, press the menu key and choose filter.  If there is no boxes checked, remove the check mark, and then check the address book again.

    Thank you.

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8110 GPS Smartphones

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with getting a GPS location fix

    on my 8110. I have a data plan. Google maps works.

    But the Options > Advance Options > GPS does not return

    no results. It this program system broken?

    Since an update today, there is now only a GPS

    data source: GPS DEVICE. There was once a

    Another option, I forgot what it was.

    Conact your wireless carrier and clarify is the function GPS is enabled for your account.

    Google Maps do not use GPS satellites. It shows location according to the coordinates of the nearest wireless towers, you can see that it is less accurate than a device that works with the GPS satellites.

  • BlackBerry Pearl 8110 Blackberry Smartphones - how to erase all contacts given n?

    Hello.

    My son has just sold me his BB pearl, the thing is that it's full of all his contacts and media... (photos ermmm I don't really want to take the risk to watch!)

    Is there a way to clean all the contacts and the media without seeing them? A bit like a reset to factory or something, can I please?

    I can't find anything to be able to do anywhere...!

    Thanks much for any help you can give...

    Myeika

    First, wipe the device using the Options > Security > General settings > press Menu > wipe Handheld.

    Will erase all old e-mail, messages, calendar, contacts, preferences and settings of the unit. This does NOT alter the operating system, etc., and you should be backup with an almost new unit later. It will not remove also application your son loaded into the device.

    If the images are recorded on a map of media (located behind the battery, do you see one?) that must be removed separately. Go to Options > Media Card > Menu button > Format and move forward. This will reformat the well card as he would a hard drive on your PC.

    If you need more help or have any other questions, please after return.

  • BlackBerry pearl 8110 Blackberry Smartphones - a memory card is not currently inserted in the device

    Need help!

    Even after inserting a MicroSD card to the device, the message shows "a media card is not currently inserted in the device.

    I had used this MicrSD card in my old Samsung phone, and he had a lot of pictures. I didn't format and that you just inserted the card but the device is not recogsinzing the card. Should I format before using the card or think that the card must be recognized in the first place.

    If you have no entries in the HRT tables and no registration in the service books

  • Sanatising of Smartphones blackBerry Pearl 8110

    Can someone average Advisor to delete voice notes? I'm afraid that even if I delete the he can always have a footprint on the blackberry! In addition, as the blackberry was owned by my employer it was related to my laptop - as such I am also afraid that the voice notes are automatically saved on the server of the company!  Is this possible?

    Amanda was soon

    Where are the notes of recorded voices to... the device memory or memory card?

    And it is unlikely that they have been saved on servers of your employee, though, don't forget, most anything done on a device connected to a company BES like this account, can be monitored and recorded by the BES admin.

    Once the voicenotes are deleted, you can be certain that they are deleted, if they are on the memory of the device. The BlackBerry device memory is very near impossible to penetrate, at least by the normal geek or the administrator. There are only a few companies that make the BlackBerry memory forensics, and very few people can afford it.

    If the voicenotes are sauvΘs and removed from the map of media, that's another story. As a PC file, which could be recovered easily.
