Question Ok I have a unlocked blackberry curve 8320 I am paying for
my data plan however my service indicator is lowercase
edge... i have no host routing tables and barely any service
books. I have the data plan and it worked fine on my
pearl... but when i put my sim into the curve i have regular
network service i just dont have blackberry internet
service.
such as emails and all that jazz...
please any suggestions on how to get this to work ... thanks
Answer Every time you change to a new BlackBerry, the device has to be activated on the server. They don't just work when you put your SIM card into the phone. If the device is branded by your carrier, you can easily activate it. If it branded by another carrier, you will need to download the firmware for this model from your carrier and then activate it. Either way, the device has to be activated, otherwise, you will not be able to use any data features. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
