BB9630 verizon unlocked in Russia

Hello
My friend have presented me a Verizon BB9630 unlocked that he've purchsed on e-bay in USA. I've registered BIS in local provider (MTS Russia) and now I have following problem. BIS is working only after I switch of GPRS service on my sim-card (GSM). And once GPRS is enabled BIS is not working. 
Is there any solution for this problem or this phone is unable to work in Russian network in a way when GPRS Internet and BIS exist simultaneousely.
Thanks,

Hey netdancer,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Just to clarify, your emails are coming through if GPRS is disabled?  Or it does not work at all?
I look forward to your reply.

  • How do I get Apple to unlock a Verizon unlocked 4s to use domestically on a GSM network?

    I have 4 iPhone 4S's in my family.  The contract with Verizon ended on December 5, 2013.  Early in 2014 I requested from Verizon that all 4 iPhones be unlocked, which was done and confirmed by Verizon.  However, subsequently I have learned that the Verizon unlocking only allows use on international GSM networks (which of course shows that the 4S is capable of GSM usage), and I want to be able to use them domestically.  Apparently, Apple maintains a kind of Black list to restrict usage of the phone to the original domestic carrier.  This is in contradiction to the "Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act", or S.517/Public Law 113-144, which went into effect August 1, 2014.
    When I insert a active AT&T GSM SIM card into the 4S I receive the following notice:
    The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.

    It's funny that you're totally misreading and understand that law.  All it does is make it legal to 'jailbreak' your device.  It doesn't force the wireless carrier to allow you to unlock the device under the normal means.
    Previously, jailbreaking your device was illegal.  Now, it's not.  But it doesn't mean that the wireless carrier, or anyone else, has to provide assistance to you.
    Show me where in that law that it states that a wireless carrier must assist you.

  • Will iPhone 5 (Verizon,unlocked) from U.S work in India?

    I am planning to purchase iPhone 5 (Verizon unlocked) 16GB from U.S to use it in India.I will be using the 3G service available here.Will the phone work with other GSM carriers available here provided it's a nano sim?My friends are saying that they purchased iPhone 4 unlocked from U.S ,it didn't work in India.Now I am confused.

    You can find that info yourself if you go to this address:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone
    Mind you, I might be wrong but it looks like you do need to buy the iphone with a contract which means it wouldn't work in India.  So in short: If that's correct, then you'll just have to wait until it's available there.

  • Is it possible to bring a non-Verizon unlock iPhone 5 to the Verizon network?

    Is it possible to bring a non-Verizon unlock iPhone 5 to the Verizon network? 
    I spent over an hour and a half talking and/or waiting on Verizon customer service yesterday and another 52 minutes today.  At the end of all that, Verizon's representative told me that even though my iPhone 5 is unlocked, I can't bring it to the Verizon network.
    During this time, I was told several times that my phone had to be added to the Verizon database.  Yesterday when I was told this, I was told it would take 30 to 60 minutes.  Today I was told that it might take two to three days but that even after the change to the database goes through, I still would not be able to use my phone on Verizon's network.

    No not possible. Verizon doesn't import IMEIs into their database. Also the unlocked iPhone 5 does not have a CDMA radio so it wouldn't connect anyway.  You need to use a GSM carrier for that iPhone to work.

  • Will Verizon unlock my phone?

    Will Verizon unlock my phone if I pay etf? I am looking to change carriers for better data plan and possibly keep same phone.

    The Samsung Galaxy S5 should already be SIM unlocked from the factory. Just don't forget to pay the ETF.

  • What steps do I need to take once Verizon unlocks my sim card for international use on another carrier

    Hi, I am traveling to Romania in a few days. I called Verizon Global Support and had them unlocked my sim card for the 4s.
    They told me there was some steps I had to take after they unlocked it and I will find these steps on the Apple website.
    Well I cant find what they are talking about and my search on the internet is not giving what I want.
    I see things about Sprint 4s and that u must connect your phone to Itunes to complete the unlock process is this the same for verizon ?
    The Verizon Rep told me I will be able to use a Internation Sim but I had to connect my phone to a computer after replacing the International sim and go threw a whole process of Restoring and resetting my phone threw Itunes. Is there true ?  I dont not have a internation sim with me is there any other way to see if its unlock and how the process is ? Do i need to set my phone to only run on GSM when I get there or will the International sim automatically switch the band ?
    I know its alot of question all at once but i just want to get to the point.
    Thanks any help will be appericated

    This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

  • How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

    I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account.  It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone.  I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany.  His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked.  How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

        Good afternoon Weth!  That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!

  • Can I buy an iPhone 5 from Verizon, unlock it, and use it with AT

    I have an android phone on AT&T currently, and I am looking to switch to an iPhone 5. My wife has a non-smartphone, and she does not want to switch to another phone. However, if we move to Verizon, she will HAVE to switch to another phone. So my question is this: Can I get a CDMA iPhone 5, and use it on AT&T? I don't need LTE, 3G is fine, and I don't need a hotspot. Price is not an issue, but I want it fast, and I don't want to have to do any hacking/jail breaking/illegal stuff. Would I just buy an iPhone 5 CDMA without a plan from an apple store and then sign it up for a plan on AT&T?

    Just use your existing upgrade (if you are eligible) and get the device through AT&T.
    Even if your wife's line is eligible for an upgrade, you can use that without affecting her service.
    Or as suggested, buy the unlocked version.
    The Verizon phone will be locked to Verizon.. there would be no reason to buy it at full retail which would require a Verizon contract with the intent of using it on AT&T.

  • IPhone 5 from verizon unlocked

    I have an iPhone 5 from Verizon and is unlocked but I want to connect it to Sprint. Could Apple change my carrier? How much would it be?

    Your Verizon iPhone, if unlocked by Verizon, will only have the GSM portion of the phone unlocked.Sprint is a CDMA carrier and that is already tied to Verizon in your case. You can only use GSM SIMs from carriers outside of the us which nixes ATT (and other GSM US carriers).
    If you want to use Sprint you must get a Iphone activated by Sprint.

  • Will Verizon unlock my Droid2?

    I've heard that carriers will unlock a phone upon request, provided you meet certain criteria.  For example, they may require that you have completed your contract or sign up with a new contract.  It says nothing about this in the fine print of the contract.
    And by "unlock", I mean granting users administrative access to remove all that bloatware Verizon put on my phone, among other things.  This is often why people resort to custom ROMs.  I'd rather not resort to that and was hoping someone out there tried contacting Verizon about this.
    I tried my local retail store and they indicted they don't how and are encouraged not to discuss the topic of unlocking a phone.
    Anyone out there tried contacting Verizon support about unlocking your phone?  Any luck?  Were there any "requirements" that needed to be met?

    This option is called rooting your device and No the carrier will not do this because this can damage the device and in some cases turn it into a brick (Totally Unrepairable)...   Since the manufacture does not support this I can guarentee that the carriers wont have the steps to even do this.
    There is sites that can instruct you on this but you do this at your own risk because carriers do not support or incourage this.

  • IPhone 4S verizon unlocked for overseas use without roaming

    I am planning to get a new iPhone 4S in the United States. I travel to India once every two years. I heard that Verizon would let it's subscribers unlock the iPhone 4S after 60 days with good standing. This would allow verizon subscribers to use a local micro-SIM number overseas to avoid Verizon roaming fees.
    To confirm this, I recently spoke with one of the Verizon customer rep that handles the international dept. She confirmed that this is true. She said Verizon would unlock the iPhone 4S like I have heard and that the unlocked iPhone 4S from Verizon would work only in places like Europe where there are only GSM carriers. In country like India, where there are CDMA and GSM carriers, the unlocked iPhone 4S with it's current software capability would identify the CDMA carriers first and would ignore the GSM carriers. And thus the unlock becomes useless there and I would end up roaming with my Verizon number instead of the local SIM number there.
    Any one heard of this?

    Hey Guys,
    I just returned from my trip to India on Jan 12, 2012. I am going to detail out my experience here so everyone has a clear understanding.
    I bought the Verizon iPhone 4s 16GB Black on Oct. 14, 2011. When I bought this phone, it was considered "locked." I was able to use my phone in India with a prepaid SIM card from Airtel and Vodafone. Here are the following steps I perfromed.
    1. Call Verizon's global group to "unlock" the phone for you. It should be noted that this does not fully "unlock" the phone; the phone still needs to be "unbricked." The "unbricking" process only takes place once you insert a foreign SIM.
    2. Purchase a foreign SIM. In India, I purchased one SIM from Airtel at the airport and another from Vodafone at a later time. To purchase SIMs in India, one must present the following: (a) copy of passport, (b) passport sized color photo, (c) verifiable local address -- hotel addresses are acceptable.
    3. Assure the SIM you are purchasing is microSIM or purchase a SIM card cutter. http://www.amazon.com/Cutter-Micro-Adapters-Apple-iPhone/dp/B0045XR5IS/ref=sr_1_ 1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326893468&sr=8-1
    4. Insert foreign SIM into iPhone 4s. To "unbrick" the phone, you will need access to wireless or your laptop with iTunes. I used the wifi on my phone to "unbrick" and activate my phone. I had no issues with this process. I did not lose any data.
    5. On the top left you will see the carrier. The phone will default to the carrier of SIM card.
    My prepaid SIM worked perfectly throughout India (voice and data). I travelled the following cities: Delhi, Patna, Bodhgaya, Rajgir, Jaipur, Agra, and Goa. On my return to USA, I used my Indian SIM in Zurich (defaulted to local carrier -- Orange?) to make a call to my family members. Finally when I arrived to USA, my Indian SIM defaulted to T-Mobile as the carrier.
    At the end, when I inserted my Verizon SIM, the carrier defaulted to Verizon. This whole process was pretty painless and saved me a bunch of money. If you guys have any questions let me know.

  • Does Verizon unlock the iPhone 4S ?

    My friend traded her T-Mobile Blackberry Bold for a Verizon iPhone 4S, She wants to know if Verizon will unlock it

    Verizon will unlock the GSM portion of the iPhone for their own customer for use while roaming abroad. Due to the way the phones are configured, if there is a CDMA (the type Verizon and Spring use) available, the phone will default to that. Therefore, even an "unlocked" Verizon phone can't be used on GSM networks (e.g. T-Mobile and AT&T) in the U.S.

  • How do I get Verizon to unlock my iPhone4s for use in the US (NOT overseas)

    12/13/13 Huffington Post
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Major U.S. wireless carriers on Thursday pledged to make it easier for consumers to "unlock" their mobile phones for use on competitors' networks, responding to pressure from consumer groups and the top U.S. communications regulator.
    Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc, Sprint Corp, T-Mobile US and U.S. Cellular agreed to "clearly notify" customers when their devices are eligible for unlocking and to process unlocking requests within two business days, said wireless industry group CTIA.
    U.S. wireless carriers often "lock" smartphones to their networks as a way to encourage consumers to renew their mobile contracts. Consumers often get new devices at a heavily subsidized price in return for committing to longer contracts.
    The top carriers have long allowed consumers to unlock devices and take them to another network at the end of a contract term - commonly, two years - though the process varies by company and can be quite painstaking.
    Then in late 2012, the Library of Congress, the minder of U.S. copyright law, completed a new triannual review of exemptions to the law that effectively made phone unlocking illegal, even after the consumer completed the contract.
    The ruling surprised many telecom observers, outraged phone users, and finally landed on the White House's agenda thanks to an online citizen petition that gathered 114,322 signatures, more than the 100,000 needed to spur a response. The White House sided with the petitioners.
    I have been a Verizon customer for a decade (10 years).  Verizon is now misleading me about having my iPhone 4s unlocked. After a long discussion they finally unlocked my families phones leading me to believe it was nationally.  I just found out that they are REFUSING to unlock my phones in an effort to keep me with Verizon and very large monthly payment plan.  If my phones were unlocked, I might stay with Verizon, however, in light of their deliberate attempt to lie to me and keep me hostage, I will most like buy new phones and move away from Verizon within the week.
    Can anyone tell me if they have had success in having Verizon unlock their iPhone 4s?

    I believe that the carriers have 3 months to partially implement this "pledge" and 12 months for it to be fully implemented.
    I have not heard of anyone getting a Verizon iPhone 4s unlocked yet for use in the US.

  • Will Verizon Be Unlocking the iPhone 5 for International Use with local carriers abroad like they do with the 4S?

    Here is my situation. I am leaving the country on business in a month. Since it is pretty doubtful that an unlocked iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order tomorrow, I'll be buying one at full price under my verizon account (not due for an upgrade yet). Verizon currently SIM Unlocks the iPhone 4S if you meet certain requirements (account in good standing, active 60 days, phone activated on account, etc.) so you can use your iPhone abroad with a local carrier there for cheaper rates. Does anyone think Verizon will do this same procedure for the new iPhone 5? I understand that my new iPhone may not have 4G LTE capability abroad due to hardware limitations on different carrier models, however all new iPhone 5 models have quad band GSM/EDGE and 3G. Would I be able to use this feature if Verizon unlocked my iPhone? It should be noted I am not trying to unlock to use my phone on Tmobile or another US carrier, as with the 4S carriers put a block on this even for unlocked Verizon models. I am looking at this from the standpoint of a traveling business user (and I think there are a lot out there wondering the same thing). Nonetheless I will be preordering the iPhone 5 from Verizon and on release day I will call them and ask if they will unlock it. If they don't I will return it. I'll update my findings here for anyone else curious about this as well.

    Egilbbys21... I am curious how things worked out with getting a nano SIM and your iPhone 5.  Our family will be visiting Manila this summer, and I would like to hear a first-hand account about your phone experiences.  Do you purchase minutes for call/texting?  What about data?  Any feedback you can give from your trip regarding your iPhone usage would be helpful.  Thanks!
