Blackberry curve (8300) is adding a 1 to phone number in SMS?? will not send message?

I get an error message saying that I need to resend the message w/ a proper 10 digit number... Which I have in my address book, but then the phone will add an extra 1 to the #, making it 11 characters, and thus not sending messages.... I have looked through both phone and SMS options and have found nothing that helps.. I have turned off the country code in phone options, resent the SMS, and still had the same problem.  then I took the area code off and the same thing still happened. Please help b/c I cannot text my gf at the moment????!!!
also, it adds a 1 to only certain phone numbers.  i can text almost everybody else just fine, apart from like 3-4 people.
thanks in advance,
~Andrew~

  • Impossible to set up email on Blackberry Curve 8300?

    There seems no way to set up my email on this AT&T brand unlocked Blackberry Curve 8300.  I can get calls but in email "wizard" setup the only option is for a Blackberry Enterprise Server, which I do not have.  I just want to get my personal email when I am away.  (Maybe I'll just buy a new Kindle...) Is there a solution or should I just sell the phone?

    Cute.
    Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
    You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.

  • Added money to account.  Can receive texts but not send them.

    I added money to my daughters prepay account and she can send texts but not receive them.  I have tried sending fresh texts and tried replying back and all I get are "message not  sent" notifications.  We are both on VZW.  She got the verifcation text that the  money went in and that the $20 texting plan was activated.  Please help.

        Hi, Spiniequeen!
    I am sorry to learn the device is not receiving texts! That's a bummer! Was your daughter's phone getting messages before adding money to it? If it had been awhile since funds were added, the features may need to be updated. I suggest contacting our prepaid team at 888-294-6804 for immediate assistance. Keep me posted!

  • Curve 9300 will not send or receive emails.

    I have a curve 9360 that is out for repair. I have a 9300 as a loaner. my email account shows up, but I cannot send or receive emails. it wont let me access it via setup either!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • After 10.3 installed blackberry link says phone is connected but will not open so I can restore my phone

    It says it is connected on the tabs to the left on blackberry link home page but then to the right it says it is connecting to the device and cannot do it. Please can someone help me!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here is a KB that perhaps discusses that error:
    Article ID: KB35458 Issues with connectivity between a BlackBerry smartphone and a computer
    Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I have recently added Adobe Reader to my PC. It will not run

    When I try to run Reader I Get this Message.
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusal way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    Can anyone help me?

    If you just downloaded it you will still need to run the installer, but PSE is much happier on your C drive and the updater expects it to be there. Photos and catalogs can be on external drives, though.

  • Problem with installing OS on Curve 8300

    Hey everyone ... I just got a new Blackberry Curve 8300 today, and I think I screwed up when trying to update it. I have downloaded the desktop manager as well as the handheld software from AT&T. I have gotten a "507 Error" which I've read means that there is not an OS on the phone. Now, I have gone back and tried to install the software from scratch. When I bring the desktop manager up, it shows that the phone is not connected, even after I click on that USB port. Then, I start to load all the software on the phone with the battery out at first and then I put it in after it begins loading. Now, it says "Connecting to device" and the phone has an hour glass flipping on a white background. Can anyone tell me what to do? It seemed like it loaded the software, but now it can't connect. Thanks!

    Nevermind ... I guess I was just being impatient. After about 15 minutes, it finally connected.

  • Curve 8300 - Can't send SMS messages - Email set up?

    Hi, my dad has an old Blackberry curve 8300 that was a work phone, it is unlocked and can make and receive calls, and receive sms messages, however I cannot get it to send sms messages. 
    Is this because he never set up an email address with the Blackberry?
    It won't let me enter a personal email address, Is this because it was his work phone and is there any way to change this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi dave12384
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
    As it was Work Phone it might have some IT policy enabled on it as a result you may not be able to use those feature .
    SMS is Emails service are both different , One comes under Voice level and another under Data Level Services .In order to enjoy Email services on  legacy BlackBerry devices we need BlackBerry Data Plan . When we activate those Data Plan our Carrier push those Service Books to our Device and it will allow us to add any email account on our Blackberry Smartphones. But as your Device is a Work Phone so it may not allow you to add any BIS plan unless those IT policies are removed  from that particular devices .You can refer to this Knowledge base to remove an IT policy but first do a backup of your device  :
    KB31291 :  How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    KB18998 :  How to reset the BlackBerry smartphone to factory defaults
    But mind it sometime it is very difficult to remove an IT policy from such devices in which those Policies are deeply coded , but you should try to see if that help.

  • Curve 8300, apps don't work

    I have had the curve 8300 for two years, for the last couple days I have not been able to open any applications.  No mater what I go to it goes to my address book.
    Has this happened to anyone else?  If so,,,how can I fix it?  

    Great, now we're getting somewhere.
    It sounds like you might have a faulty trackball, OR at least it might need cleaning. It could indiciate some moisture damage. All three are possible.
    There are instuctions around on how to clean a trackball.
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8300-series-discussion-curve/108122-how-clean-your-8300-blac...
    I would suggest you attempt this first.
    Now, if your device is under warranty, or very new, I would simply suggest a warranty exchange.

  • Wifi for curve 8300?

    Hi, I'm using an old blackberry curve 8300 since my mobile just broke down. It seems there is no wifi on it and I can't connect to my internet box.
    Is it possible to dowload a program that would install it and if yes, could anyone recommend one for me?

    Hello,
    Refer to this please:
    http://worldwide.blackberry.com/blackberrycurve/8300/specifications.jsp
    As you suspect, that model does not have WiFi. And what is missing is hardware (the WiFi radio inside the BB). As such, no amount of software can overcome that limitation.
    Good luck!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I have not heard of a video file length limitation.
    Transfer the file to the PC via My COmputer, then play it with Quicktime.
    This will tell you if the file is corrupted, truncated, or has a valid eof.

  • Help! Curve 8300 not responding at all....flashing red LED.

    Help!
    My friend was trying to install a theme on my blackberry curve 8300 with her laptop and her blackberry manager. She was trying to sync when a message popped up saying it was deleting applications so she hit cancel and disconnected.
    Since she disconnected the USB i have a black screen and flashing red LED. No response when I hit the power button. No response from taking the battery out, waiting, putting the battery back in. No response with ALT-SHIFT-DELETE.
    Any help would be VERY much appreciated.

    Error 507 simply means the device has no operating system on it.
    Basically, you need to load an OS to the BB....
