Blackberry 8130 newbie

Hi folks! Just upgraded through Telus to the 8130. This technology is VERY new to me, some basic questions:
1. When I check voicemail there are quite a number of prompts and I would like to delete some of those prompts. How do I do that?
2. I have a minimal data plan, which is basically for e-mails and text. Does this mean that if I wanted to get the navigational device I would have to upgrade to a plan that included web browsing? Similarly with respect to IM?
3. The software is freaking me out because I do not understand it!!!!!
Thank you.

relax.... this won't hurt a bit.
Voicemail is a feature of the carrier, not the device.  Anyone at Telus should be able to help you shorten the voicemail menus if they provide that feature.
Yes, navigation will increase your data usage, depending on how frequently you use it and how long your routes are.  The real question, like the one above, goes to Telus.  Do you NEED to upgrade your data plan in order to add Navigation, or can you coast along with pay-as-you-go until it's clear that it's costing you more?  Also, how much is the upgrade--  for $5 it might just be worth upgrading the data plan, but for $20, maybe not.
Blackberry is a pretty easy OS.  You should have a 'Help' applicaiton on your device- take the time to look through the menus, and check out the Tips and Tricks on the device, in the box or on the web.

  • Blackberry 8130 sync compatibility with Mac

    I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on my Mac OS 10.4.11 and am considering getting a Blackberry 8130 in order to sync contacts, calendar, etc between computer and phone, plus run e-mail. I am aware of previous difficulties using software programs to allow a seamless transfer. Which software programs are recommended to sync from Mac Palm Desktop to blackberry 8130? Is there another phone that is more suitable or should I download Mac Outlook or use Apple Addressbook and iCal? I am impressed with the 8130 but am leary of previous comments regarding incompatibility issues. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Has anyone heard from Blackberry on this topic as yet?
    I am having the same problem, my Q10 doesnt sync with my Mac Contact Address Book. The BBlink says its syncing but nothing happens.  I updated all the software, running 10.2.1.537 on the device and BlackBerry Link is 1.2.0 (build 17)
    PLEASE ADVISE

  • Cbeyond blackberry 8130 and world edition

    I have 2 blackberry 8130 and a blackberry world edition phone that we used for less than a month and had to buy out of our phone service from cbeyond and I cant unlock tthese phones, I am either trying to sell them or unlock them..any suggestions

    The 8130's can't be unlocked as there is no GSM portion of the device.
    The 8830 can be unlocked however, the GSM bands on the 8830 are not GSM frequencies used in the North America.  It will only work on GSM frequencies in Europe, etc.

  • Multiple Calendars on my Blackberry 8130

    I am having problems setting one calendar as my default calendar on my Pearl 8130.  I can go in and change the setting to show the calendar I would like to be the default, but if I exit the calendar feature, use one of the other applications on my Blackberry and then return to my calendar application, I have multiple calendars appearing again.  I am running Outlook 2007 and Desktop Manager 4.7
    Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, I do not have an answer, however a similar problem and a "tack-on" question.  I have 2 calendars show up on my device , one attached to me email address, and a device default calendar.  I would like to delete one of them since they are the same.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • Blackberry 8130 Rogers - some mail bounces back

    If someone sends an e-mail to me at my main address (shaw.ca) which is also forwarded to my Blackberry they receive a message back from the Blackberry account saying that the message could not be received.
    I did however in fact get the message on my Shaw acvcount which also shows up on my blackberry.
    My blackberry e-mail address appears to be correct in my profile.
    This seems to happen only when the e-mail is one that is sent to a group that I am part of with other addresses in the To: __________________
    Any ideas on solving this problem?

    eetonaee,
    It could be an Auto-Population issue. If the user is using a program like Outlook, have them create a new email. Have them start typing your name/address and press the down arrow key to highlight and delete. Once deleted, have the user entery in your full email address again.

  • Blackberry 8130 Mac Desktop

    I have no problem connecting my blackberry to my macs at home using Bluetooth, but at work I have to use a USB cable.
    System Profiler recognizes that it a RIM product but it does not show up on the desktop. I downloaded PocketMacSyncManager, in the status tab it sees the device and the status is available, but still it does not show up on the desktop.
    Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
    Cheers 

    iSync is asking to change them from "all day" events, which is how I have them entered in iCal, to "timed" events from 4:00am - 4:00am?
    It's not iSync...
    iSync has nothing to do with syncing a Blackberry. It doesn't support Blackberry devices at all, which is why you're having to use Blackberry Desktop Manager.
    Blackberry Desktop Manager uses the Mac OS X system-wide SyncServices framework, so any messages you're getting would be generated by that or the Desktop Manager software, not the iSync application.
    (iSync's only connection to this, is the checkbox to turn system-wide syncing on in the first place (if it's not already on), and a button to reset SyncServices subsequently.)
    You'd be better off asking in the dedicated Blackberry for Mac forums here:

  • Cant play videos on new Blackberry 8130

    Is there something that I need to download for this to work?

    OS 4.5 supports some video (like YouTube mobile), but earlier versions do not support it.  If your carrier doesn't have it yet, you can use the OS from another carrier if you know how to get it to work, but if you have to ask how that is, you probably shouldn't do it and should wait until it's released by your carrier.
    Supposedly AT&T will be releasing OS 4.5 for all 8xxx devices they carry before the end of the month.  Hard to say what the other carriers will do though. 
    You can find a list of the latest OS available for all devices, and links to download it from the carriers that have them here.

    Added note:
    I sent the email to my blackberry, opened it, clicked the links, but all I got was access denied.

    Try again -- a generic data plan and a Blackberry Data Plan are separate entities. I suggest you contact your carrier and find out if you have an adequate data plan from them to enable your access of AppWorld via their network.

    Did you try ALL the clean uninstall steps? If not try ALL of them and then rebooting to see if you can install the newer version of the Desktop Manager.
    If so and it's still not working try to install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the Desktop Manager then try again - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
