Blackberry Curve 8320 able to work in China?

Hi everyone,
I am totally new to the Blackberry world and have no idea if this question is ridiculously stupid, stupid, moderately intelligent or ground-breaking (I doubt the latter).  Anyway, I was wondering if it were possible for a Blackberry Curve 8320 to actually work in China?  I plan to buy one from the US and use it in China and also later in Aus.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Benjamin

If you're using the GSM version of the blackberry you will be able to use it overseas. However, you will incur roaming charges and per message charges if I'm not mistaken. I have a supplier from Germany that travels to China and most of SE Asia a lot and he has no problems roaming. So long as the country you are going to has blackberry service (China does and so does Australia) you will be able to roam there. If you want to take advantage of cheaper local call rates, then you will need to unlock your phone so that you can insert a local SIM. Other thing to note is that some countries, I know here in Indonesia they do, have pre-paid blackberry service. I just don't know if that will work even with an unlocked phone because your PIN will still be locked to your service provider. Does anyone if the PIN can be easily transferred from one provider to another?

  • How can I get Video Recording! on my Blackberry curve 8320 ???????????? HELP PLEASSEEEEE

    Hi, Im a bet stressed out i just got the blackberry Curve 8320 from Tmobile and realized it has no Video recording however the person that sold it to me says they downloaded a program like a converter or something and they used to have video recording on it.  Can you please tell me how i can get video recording on mine Please. Thank you.

    to use video you need an upgrade. The name is handheld device software OS. I believe you have 4.2. 4.5 is required.
    You have to wait for TMobile to release the 4.5 OS.

    HELP!  I can't for the life of me figure out how to record a video with my Blackberry Curve 8320 Smartphone.  Thanks!

    I have may icons but not one for Video Camera.  I have one for Media and when I click on it there is an option for videos but can't figure out how to record from this location or perhaps this option is only for watching videos.  Thoughts/suggestions?  Also, how do I check software version?  Thanks SO much!

  • Problems syncing Blackberry Curve 8320 with Outlook 2007

    Hello all. I have a problem that seems to be somewhat common. I've done some searching through the messages but so far, no luck.
    I just got my Curve 8320 and I installed Desktop Manager 4.5 that came with it. At work, the calendar I want to use is in Outlook 2007. It's a work calendar but this is not a work phone. Anyhow, it wouldn't work at all, but I changed one of the options on the phone (based on a comment here) from "Facebook" to the other option (my personal email, not associated with work or Outlook 2007, but that was my only other choice).
    Then it began pulling records from Outlook to the phone, but approximately half way through it gives me this error under a window called "Intellisync": "The operation terminated unexpectedly."
    I can't get it to go any further than this. Any ideas?

  • Blackberry curve 9220 abruptly stopped working

    I have purchase a blackberry curve 9220 in last week of march this year, after three months its aburptly stopped working. I have submitted it around 11 days back to delhi based blackberry service center (Expert Center, Nehru Place, New Dehli) but till now there is no update. 
    Can anyone update me what should I do shall I purchase some other mobile or wait for its repair?
    If reparing would take time period like this then what is benefit of purchasing blackberry phone why should not to purchase phone from other venders (like Nokia, Samsung) who have very responsive service center.
    Blackberry service center are hell nobody want's to go their as they never respond correctly.

    I recommend an iPhone and you need to follow up your unit. Getting or replacing a smartphone can be expensive; more than $200 for even the most basic model. One of the questions sales representatives will often ask is if you would like to insure the phone. Is that insurance worth it?

    Hi
    By everything, I assume you have wiped the device and reloaded the software as you do not specify what "everything" is.
    So having done that have you cleaned the keyboard?

  • Blackberry curve 8520 is not working/rebooting

    since last week my blackberry curve 8520 is shut down and not rebooting, I have tried many time but when reboot it an error # 523 accour and set goes held, pls help me that How I can start it

    1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
    "c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
    3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
    4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
    5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
    NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
    BlackBerry Device Operating System downloads: http://www.blackberryforums.com/blackberry-device-specific/
    Just select the appropriate device model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.
    IF the above does not work or help, You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
    Download JL_Cmder http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/18789-jl_cmder.html
    or download BBSAK http://bbsak.org/download.php
    If JL_Cmder does not work, you can try this:

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 Keyboard not working

    A few months ago the keyboard of my Blackberry Curve 8520 stopped working out of the blue, I checked the water damage indicator and it is was still white.  I left the phone and used a spare one, so I knew it was nothing to do with the sim card.  Yesterday I decided to check on my blackberry and it worked! Then this morning at 8am the alarm went off, I turned it off and left my phone alone but when I went to use it at 8:30 it had completely stopped working, not even the trackpad.  A few hours later the trackpad started working again but that's it, no keys or any of the side buttons.
    So now as soon as the screen goes black that's it you have to do a battery pull to get the screen to light up again.
    This is very annoying and has been going on since April now and I would really love to know what causes it, anyone know?

    If you can tell that it is not a harware issue or what not, then it may be a software issue that can be fixed by a clean reload. Please check the link below to guide you through the steps.

  • Blackberry curve 8320 spinning hourglass forever end ever

    I have a BB curve 8320, version 4.5.0.81
    I have visited Tmobile, they replaced the SIMM card.  I have a 4gb memory card, yet my phone is constantly in the "spinning hour glass mode" and unable to use.  I thougth perhaps it was something to do with service in the Austin TX area, but it happened  the entire week I was in Colorado and California.  This makes the phone useless--what to do?
    The only solution I have found is to remove and reinsert the battery but this is a  pain and soemtimes it does not work.  My phone is spinnign right now!
    And yes, I do a quickpull on it nightly as suggested by T mobile.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ahh sorry
    correct keystrokes would be ALT+Right-Shift+DEL
    and 2206859bytes translates into roughly 2.1MB which isn't alot and may be leading to the problem itself. I would recommend cleaning out some memory on your device, after deleting some of your unused files, cache/cookies, old memos, old texts, anduseless apps... pull your battery and re-check your memory. and see if that helps aswell.
    Divide your Bytes by 1024 twice and thats how many MB (roughly) you have

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If, by the highlighted section, you mean your BB cellular telephone number, there's nothing anyone here can do. That is 100% a carrier function...your new carrier must work with your old carrier to shift the number over. If they say that they cannot do it, then there is no one here that can provide you anything different. I do, however, recommend you get a better explanation from Boost...under the federal number portability rules (I'm not sure that's the correct nomenclature), you are supposed to be able to shift your mobile number from carrier to carrier, but I don't know if there are any restrictions on that. You should ask for more from Boost.
    BTW -- there is no way for you to do it yourself...only the carriers can do it.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Blackberry Curve-8520 Wifi not working.

    i have been trying to get my wifi working with my blackberry for a few hours now.I have enetered all my wireless router information and when it tries to connect it, it cant. the wifi symbol isnt lit-up in the top ight hand corner but beside my carrier name (rogers) it says my router name. when I press the blackberry button, go to manage connections it says Wifi with my router name but the button beside that isnt checked there is just "-" through it.
    the only reason it says is cant connect to network.
    any help would be greatly appretiated.

    I have already done that but I am still not able to connect to he internet. 
    I also tried changing the security setting of my wifi router to WEP which is definitely supported by this handset. but the problem still persists. Any other suggestion?

  • Every button on my blackberry curve 8520 has stopped working help!!!

    Hi all, i dont know if this is a popular question but all the buttons have stopped working on my phone it started with a few of the not working like the n button the o button ect and the the other day all the buttons just stopped can someone help me to see if its a softwear issue or a problem with the phone itself. thanks 

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    *Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    *On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    *On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

    Is there any water damage to your phone???
    If it suddenly stopped working then a battery pull device reset should resolve the issue. If the problem still continues then you should try reinstalling or updating your device OS.
