"8220" without a service provider

First, I love my BlackBerry Pearl (8220).  I had TMobile as my service provider.  I was one of the members of a business plan.  Because of the economy and my undesirable credit I am now without a provider. My desire is to utilize my 8220 to it's fullest or at least to make and receive calls and text. I am willing to invest $100. a month but I need an unlimited plan.  I am also willing to leave a good faith deposit with a service provider who would add me as a customer.  Any thoughts?

The first thing you need to unlock your device.
If device was bought with contract on T-Mobile it is locked on T-Mobile and won't work with another operators.
Contact T-Mobile and ask for unlock code for your device.
If T-Mobile refuses to provide unlock code you can buy one on the Internet. Use Google and you'll find a lot of companies which sell unlock codes via Internet.
After that contact your local wireless operators and ask them - can you get service you want for money you can afford.

  • How can I unlock my UK phone for AUS use when sourced from UK Apple Store (so without service provider to do it for me)?

    So my Aus iPhone that I had unlocked to do a bit of travelling went for a swim in the Med- my service provider back home informed me that in order to claim on insurance internationally that I should get a new one from an Apple Store and send them the bill etc etc. I did that, and all was fine with the rest of my trip on a prepaid UK sim.  Now I am home and want to put my AUS sim in (where I am under postpaid contract) but my iPhone is not recognising it, with an error message of 'Invalid Sim'.  My service provider cannot help as the product was sourced from Apple originally and not them. Can someone let me know how this can be fixed?

    Okay, so if you purchased your iPhone from an Apple store in the UK then it is fully unlocked.  Apple in the UK sell fully and officially unlocked iPhones, so you should not have a problem with inserting any sim card into your phone.  The phone will be unlocked as long as you purchased the phone in the UK for the full purchase price and not as sim free rather than unlocked.
    Have a word with your provider, as there could possibly be a problem with your sim card.  Get a new sim card and try that.  There is no reason why this should not work on an unlocked iPhone.

  • Unable to log in to BlackBerry ID after OS10.3 update - Now playing tennis with BB Help and my service provider

    I am running OS 10.3.1.1779 on my BB Q10 and recently purchased a BB Classic thus wanted to switch device.
    The BB Q10 neither allows me to download switch or back up my device using BlackBerry Link - it keeps asking to sign in to my BBID.
    I am able to sign in to my BBID from comp and from mobile web on device but not from the BlackBerry App World or Hub. I enter my email and then password, after a few seconds the password field goes blank. It logs incorrect password attempts but in not logging in with correct password.
    I tweeted BlackBerry help who suggested a device wipe. I sadly do not have a recent back up and need ALL the contacts i currently have and thus that is not an option. They then suggested I contact BlackBerry Technical Support with my service provider (Safaricom Kenya) - they have never heard of it and asked me to contact BlackBerry directly.
    I am at my wits end as I can neither migrate to my recently purchased Classic and neither can I use my BB Q10 without the following message popping up in my hub every time I open an app:
    BlackBerry ID
    One or more applications/services require you to verify your BlackBerry ID.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    - User name and password have always been the same
    - Tried reset password, followed prompts, accepted on mobile web and comp - Unsucessful from BB Hub/Appworld
    - Tried the wait 8 hours to log in - Unsuccesful
    - Tried hard and soft reset - Unsuccesful
    - Tried without SIM and only WiFi - Unsuccesful
    - Tried only with SIM and without WiFi - Unsuccesful
    - Tried rebooting phone while connected to BlackBerry Link - Unsuccesful
    - Tried backing up with both phone and comp on Airplane mode - Unsuccesful
    I scoured the net and saw many similar issues. KB35119 is the closest I came to in finding a similar error on the Knowledge base and it has no resolution.
    I am extremely frustrated and dissatisfied with this issue. Does anyone have an idea of what could be the issue or way around this.
    Thank you.

    Dear Blackberry,
    I am experiencing the exact same problem, is there already a solution available?

  • When I try to turn on my iPhone 4, it wouldn't turn on unless if I use an iPad Charger. When it will turn on. I can't connect to any WiFi Services or my Service Provider, I can't text or call anyone. When I unplug my iPhone 4 it'll just shut off.

    So when I try to plug in My iPhone 4 to any plug it won't turn on or charge unless if I use an iPad charger. When I do get to turn it on. My Phone will Standby for a few seconds( While I'm Typing my 4-Digit Code) then it'll unlock and go to the home screen. Once I'm on the home Screen I can't Call, Text or Email anyone because my iPhone Can't detect any Wifi Hotspots and it also can't connect to my Service Provider, It'll just Say "Searching...". The non-internet apps work perfectly fine. So since I was able to use Just an iPad Charger to turn on my iPhone 4, I tried a Regular iPhone charger that were plugged into a wall or my computer. When its Plugged in, my iPhone will turn on ( Showing the Apple Logo) then turn back off. It'll constanly do this only when it's plugged into a Regular iPhone Charger, Either plugged into a Wall Socket or my Computer. So I Tried to Restore the Phone by using some of the Methods, given by other iPhone 4 Users, non of them worked. My iPhone won't Restart, Restore, Turn on without a Charger, Be Detected on my Computer and Detect my Service Provider. I really need help to fix my iPhone 4. I'm really not sure if it's a Malfunction with the Software on the iPhone, if my Sim Card is Broken. if the System is Corrupted but it only happens Rarely.

  • Bought iPhone 5S refurb from service provider 'as new'. After restore multiple Apple ID's are offered,1 of which belongs to me, the others have never been used on my phone. iCloud restore from backup is now permanently incomplete. Ideas?

    There are several factors involved here, I shall explain them as best I can and will include all details, regardless of immediate relevancy:
    In August of last year I purchased a new MBP15", and 2 months later I purchased an iPhone 5s refurb (unused) from my service provider (02), there were no issues connecting the two or with iCloud. Fast-forward several months to February I had a liquid spill on my laptop that rendered it unusable. After a month my insurance came through and I received a new laptop, and in order to successfully pair my replaced MBP with my 5S I performed a restore on my iPhone after backing up my data on iCloud.
    When I turned on my iPhone after the restore, I was presented with the usual set-up process: wi-fi connection was completed without issue, as was enabling location services, entering my Apple ID and choosing my selected back-up.However, I was subsequently presented with an option to transfer purchases from an email address have never used and didn't recognise, so I declined. Immediately afterwards, a second Apple ID (again that I neither used nor recognised) popped up for the same reason, I declined, a third unknown Apple ID popped up, I declined again. After declining the three previous IDs, the old email address for my ID was presented to me, I entered my password to see what happened and it declined, saying 'the email is no longer valid.
    After this, the restore continued, I finished setting up my iCloud with my correct ID. Since then (about a week ago) my iPhone has been unsuccessfully trying to 'restore from iCloud Backup', and every time I exit & re-enter a Wi-Fi zone I am presented with the same series of incorrect Apple ID's

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • Where can I buy a NEW iPhone WITHOUT a service plan?

    I have an iTouch now, I'm sell it.
    I want to have external speakers for apps and alarms.
    I do not want iTouch 2nd generation.
    I do not currently need it as a phone, but would like to have it for when I am ready.
    Is it possible to purchase the latest iPhone without any phone plan? When I go through the steps to purchase an iPhone from apple.com it doesn't have a "no plan" option.
    Do other places online / B&M sell iPhones or only apple.com and apple stores? (I do not want a used or refurbished)
    Surely I can still get a hold of an NEW iPhone without a service plan... but where and for how much?

    You can't buy a new iPhone in the US without a plan. Even if you could buy one, it would not work (even as an iPod) until activated with a cell phone provider. You would have to buy a used iPhone that had been activated. Be sure to get a US model (or one for your country if you aren't in the US). Check the part numbers in the right column of
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937>
    to make sure it is the correct version for your country.
    An officially unlocked one from one of the countries that sell them would also be OK, but any repair would have to be done in its original country. It would have to have been activated in some country, also.

  • Does the data transfer used in the back up in time capsule included in the data allowance from my service provider?

    Is the data transfer used in the backup with airport time capsule included in the data allowance with my service provider?

    gheefromsa wrote:
    I am using Ethernet cable to connect TC to the modem. I am only backing up my mac book air within range of the TC. So I guess it will be OK from your reply. As a trial I did interrupt the back up by turning off the TC, disconnecting the Ethernet cable, turning TC back on. The mac would not connect wirelessly with the TC without the Ethernet connection.
    It is not using ISP .. absolutely for sure. Well 99.999%.. absolute tends to be only in maths.
    But you did the test wrongly.. I said to disconnect the modem.. during the backup.. not turn off the TC.. obviously once interrupted the TC will not work again until everything is plugged in.. but it will work even bridged for a short time.. just unplug the WAN port from the modem.
    The test is moot now.. as I can give you a 99.999% promise it is not using ISP.

  • My iPhone 4 cellphone was stolen last year. I have done all the procedures of reporting it to the South African Police Services and my Vodacom service provider. I do have the case number and I did blacklist my stolen phone. I have not had any assistance.

    My iPhone 4 cellphone was stolen last year. I have done all the procedures of reporting it to the South African Police Services and my Vodacom service provider. I do have the case number and I did blacklist my stolen phone. I have not had any assistance. I had installed Find My iPhone but did not have any iCloud account on it (ie. iCloud Username and Password). So I am unable to track it or find its location as yet. Please help me find my iPhone 4.

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
    If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

  • PLEASE HELP - Service provider fault - how to get...

    We are at breaking point!!!!
    My lovely 81 year old Dad has tried to switch to BT infinity. He had a regular BT service before, but as of the 30th April he was meant to have BT infinity. HOWEVER, this is not the case. I spent last weekend there to try to help, but after BT sending out a new Hub, there still is no connection. I spent near 4 hours on the phone to India where (very frustratingly) they went through the same tests each time, despite me telling them that they had already been done, and no one could fix the issue. It seems the hub is working but the 'service provider' is not. We can get through the first two set up stages but never get past the 3rd. We get a BT Wholesale page suggetion there are 5 different service provider problems. Poor Dad has tried again today to ask an engineer to come out and still they insist on doing the same tests and insist there is something wrong with the 'device' (computer). There clearly isn't as we have tried several other devices and none of them can connect, so what else could the problem be? I think it's an engineer problem but how the hell do you get an engineer out, there is no UK number to call. Has anyone else had this problem? If so did you manage to solve it and how?
    It's enough to send you round the twist or leave BT!
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Thank you for your reply Neil, if we had known about the forum earlier we may have got further quicker.
    Apparently the phone line is now down and the earliest we can expect an engineer is next Wednesday.
    I have to say the customer service has been unbelievably atrocious. To think that they have had a problem for almost a fortnight and it has taken my Dad, my brother and myself 10 calls all lasting at least one hour, to be asked the same questions and to get absolutely nowhere. My Dad is hard of hearing but I found it difficult to understand the customer support rep and he found it difficult to understand me. I have no problem with Indian call centres but this was ridiculous. My elderly parents live in a small town 120miles from me and although they can live without broadband a phone line is pretty essential part of modern life. Yes, they have a mobile phone but they have paid for a service and they are simply not getting one. Trying to tell BT and get someone to do something about it has been enough to want to cancel altogether. It's such a shame BT has got such a terrible reputation for this, surely they can provide a better service than this? No doubt there won't be any compensation for the time we all have wasted trying to resolve this - how can you compensate for 10 hours of pure frustration?
    If you wish to help you could raise this with your managers as an example of how to avoid this happening to someone else.

    Hi,
    If memory serves, Outlook XP offered the ability to set what address-book connectors were installed, one of which was LDAP (by default enabled). It may be a similar situation with Outlook 2003 (which I assume you are using based on the version number in the debug logs). Try using the Office '03 install CD and see if you can find the LDAP addressbook option and install it.
    Regards,
    Shane.

  • How do I get rid of an internet service provider (Cisco) that I never wanted but Cisco keeps me from getting online with my own internet service provider?

    I have tried to get rid of an internet service provider named "Cisco" that keeps blocking me from getting on the internet. I have no idea how "Cisco" is doing this. I have only one internet service provider that is Not "Cisco" . "Cisco" keeps coming up on the screen to sign in with a password which of course I do not know and do not want. I went into Safari preference to change the settings and found 2 that I do not want.  I thought I had gotten rid of this "link sys" but keeps returning  and shows that it is locked. How do I get rid of these in my Safari preferences without a password to them. I only want the one internet service provider that I have to be there and not the other two. Thank you so much.

    That is the login into the router itself. Most routers, in order to set them up the first time or after a reset or power fail, have this login procedure. You connect to the router login and configure the settings for your use.
    Is this a new router or has it been recently reset in some way? As was written above if the router was provided by your isp then contact them for the setup procedures.
    If the router is yours (or someone else's in your household) you need to look at the manual that came with it or go to manufactures website for instructions on how to set it up.

  • Can i use my iphone 4s to play games, surf internet and such without phone service? It says i need a sim insertwed to activate it.

    recieved phone from a friend.  I believe it to be a iphone 4s. I dont know from which carrier it originated CDMA or GSM.Turns on and begins setup. I enter my language and location , it begins to search for a wifi signal which is present then it says insert a valid sim card and it wont go any further than that. It tries to activate but then just says insert valid sim . I just want it too boot up so i can play games, apps, and surf web without phone service. Is that possible?  I knowe it is because i used to do it with my wifes iphone 4s

    You need a sim to activate an iPhone. The sim does not have to associated
    with an active account; however, if the iPhone is locked to a wireless provider,
    the sim must be from that wireless provider. Borrow an appropriate sim from
    a friend/relative/co-worker for the few moments it will take to activate the iPhone.
    You will need a sim in the iPhone to reactivate whenever you restore the iPhone
    or update the iOS.
    Call Apple to find the origin of the iPhone. You will need the serial number from
    the back of the iPhone. Or ask your friend - he should know the details about an
    iPhone he previously owned.

  • Bad Customer Services provided by HP

    Compaq 610
    I purchased my laptop a years ago. I am finding the issues with my Laptops. Some times I found that my lap is overheated issues. I found that the my laps fan is not working. I called hp and asked them what to do? a week ago. And they provided the solution that they will send a person to the home or either I have to take Laptop to the service center.I found that they have to ask for the spare parts in hp. Later they have to fix the problems. But hp center are still not been able to get the quotation from the centers. I am always trying to remind them but they are still not been able to get the Quotation. I am wondering that what will happen if the things goes wrong. I will feel handicapped without my laptop.
    I found that services providing by the Service Centers are not only poor but they would take the customers as a granted. I am also having the past bad experiences by service centers like I had given my Laptop for removing the dust & for General servicing.In that process they have taken the long time of 2-3 days. Still when I get my lapy back & I opened the Disc-Reader I found that dust is still there. When I saw them they replied back with the best Answer that things are cleaned from over the parts not outside the parts . I am still in same situation where I am not getting services by the people over there.
    This question was solved.

  • Database as Web Services Provider?

    Hello!
    Would you please forgive me my silly question but...
    My customer has purchased and is using Oracle RDBMS 10g.
    Now the customer wants the database to be accessible by web services clients.
    The customer thinks that this can be done with already purchased RDBMS (without Oracle's Application Server). The customer cites Oracle: "Database as Web Services Provider: Database operations and data retrieval are executed through Web Services mechanisms" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/database.html).
    However, in my honest opinion the customer MUST install some web server. if the customer is especially insterested in Oracle's solutions, then it has to (additionally to already purchased RDBMS) buy either Oracle Application Server or WebLogic.
    Who is right?
    Sincerely Yours,
    Michail

    Michail,
    For DB 10g, you are right - the solution is to use PL/SQL Web Services for which an OracleAS/OC4J server is essential.
    For DB 11g, both you & your customer are right. In addition to the above like 10g, there is a new feature in 11g called Native XML DB Web Services within the DB which does not require any Web Server or AS. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb_web_services.htm

  • EP 7.0 Consuming Enterprise Services provided by PI 7.0

    Hello Community,
    A - Can we consume the Enterprise Services provided by PI 7.1 directly on EP 7.0 without using CE 7.1?
    B - Assumption - The above approach is not possible & we should use CE 7.1to create a consuming application using any UI/Composition tool eg WD, VC, Adobe etc and expose that in the Producer Portal (NWCE 7.1) which in turn would be consumed by the Consumer Portal (NW 7.0). Through federation, these composite applications are exposed to the central portal (7.0).
    Any thoughts/directions?
