Can I use my Curve 8520 in Japan?

I am a Curve 8520 user in Malaysia signed up with mobile provider Digi. Digi says I can roam in Japan but not sure whether the devise is usable in Japan. Please advise.

I just used my iPhone 4S in Tokyo and Kyoto. (June 2013) It works perfectly on their CDMA system there, even though I am an AT&T (GSM) subscriber in the US.
It seems that, unlike the earlier iPhone models, the 4S is both CDMA and GSM compatible. Be careful though, unless you buy a Data Plan from Verizon before you leave the US, the use of their 3G internet access will be really expensive, if you enable "Data Roaming" while traveling there. Also check to see if you can purchase an international calling plan that reduces the per-minute rate while traveling in Japan, before you depart. Do the same for text messaging.

The only way to use an iPhone from Japan in India is to pay your Japanese carrier for international roaming. Japanese iPhones can not be unlocked.

Can I use my iPhone 3Gs in Japan with a Japanese Sim-Card?

Hi there,
three years ago I've been to Japan for an exchange study program and at that time I had a HTC but as far as I remember, since Japanese people didn't have Sim-Cards, I had to buy a brand-new Softbank's mobile phone.
So since I got another scholarship for Kyoto, I was wondering if something has been changing in these last three year and if I could eventually use my Italian iPhone 3Gs by inserting a Softbank o AU or Docomo's Sim-Card.
Thank you in advance for your precious help and sorry for my poor English

Hello
You can only use your 3Gs in another country if it is NOT locked to an Italian carrier Or
you can get it unlocked if it is so restricted
I assume someone with knowledge of the Japanese market can comment on the availability of a suitable sim but your iPhone must be unlocked before you can use another carrier's sim

Can i use my 3G iphone in japan?

i am in tokyo now and i am triing to use my 3G iphone, i was told by a AT&T rep. that i would have no trouble using my phone in japan. Well i am here now and my phone does NOT work. i have been to japan before and i know that japan runs on 2100khz , i do not think the iphone is capable of doing that but it does have 3G so i am unsure. Again i believed the AT&T rep. (dumb) and tried anyway, so now i m here and it doesn't work.
CAN ANY ONE HELP ?

thanx for the help....of course it was AT&T (the worlds worst cell coverage/company), some how they forgot to turn on my roaming. and it cost me about $40 in hold time to get it on, the reason why i called before i left. so the phone works fine, everything works.
so my advice is insist tat they tll you repeatedly that your roaming is on, not that it works, because to AT&T "it works" doesn't really mean it works, but it means " it can work if you wait on hold for 45 min after you have already got where you are going"
thanx agian

Only the carrier to which it is locked can do it. Contact them.

So kindly provide me a proper resolution regarding my query.
I am requesting with warm warm warm regards

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 additional 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.

Lost Icon in my Curve 8520

Hi to all...this is my first post in this forum.
I´ve been used my Curve 8520 every day with no problem but I updated my device sw yesterday and I lost the icon and the function to block the keyboard. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks
Sergio

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Depending on what level you updated to, the function changed. Somewhere in the 5.x BB OS series, the old method was replaced. How it works now is thus. To simply lock the keypad, use the hard button on top of the BB. If you assign a device lock password, you then will have an icon on your homescreen by which to force it into an early password lock state.
This is how it now works. There is no way to change it except to fall back to a version prior to when the functionality changed.
Good luck!

Curve 8520 keypad randomly unlocks

My wife has just started using a Curve 8520 and has had it for less than 1 month. In the past few days, they phone has started unlocking itself randomly. She's using the 'A' button to lock the keypad at which point the screen goes off (as I believe it should) and then after a minute or so, it unlocks itself and the screen comes back on.
Can anyone suggest something we might have missed, or a reason for this behaviour?
Cheers!
Solved!

Ok if it happens anymore then I'll talk you through a OS reload

Can I use my Samsung Charge in another country ?

If I replace the LTE card with a SIM card from another country, will it work ??

Actually, it can be used in many countries - including Japan and China where I travel frequently. Verizon is partnered with carriers in many countries. BUT it is only CMDA, and it does not have a GSM SIM for example, so you are locked into using these partners only, and the voice charges are steep (like $1.99 a minute) and data rates ridiculous.
Because of the high rates, I only use text messaging except for urgent calls, and turn off data.
Bought an inexpensive GSM phone to use in China - got a number in-county, and it is very inexpensive, even to make international calls. Use that same phone in the U.S. as a backup (major carrier other than Verizon in the U.S.) (I can recharge the account on-line to ensure the number remains active, even if not using it for months).
Contact Verizon helpful service at 611 and they will give you straight skinny to answer specific countries and rates.

Is there a big different between curve 8520 and style ?

Is there a big differnt how to use the Curve 8520 ( my current phone) and the style ?? Is the keybord much smaller and harder to use ? I just love my BB curve compared to other phones ( nokia etc) because of the keybord.. So is it much smaller on the style ? Is the screen much smaller on the style then on the Curve ??

Hiya!
If it is just the physical, form factor you are concerned with, my suggestion would be to check it out at your closest retailer to actually hold it and look at it.

Email problem on Curve 8520

Hi I am having a frustrating problem using my Curve 8520 for my University email account. The email is set up as IMAP as my university does not support the BES. When I open or delete an email on the Curve these changes will show up on my PC when I use that to access my account. However if I open or delete an email using Outlook 2010 on my PC this does not get reflected on the BlackBerry (ie emails still show as unread, deleted emails still there etc). This did not happen when I was using my old Nokia 97 (or the N95 before that). At first I thought it was an Outlook problem (as I have recently upgraded form 2007 to 2010) but when I log on using the University web mail, any changes made in Outlook 2010 are there.
Is there some setting needs changed on the phone?

It seems there is no solution to this problem Despite supposedly being the email phone the BlackBerry only supports full synchronization from phone to server and not the other way when set up with BIS for IMAP accounts!

I can't browse using my blackberry browser (wifi connection w/ BB curve 8520)

good day!
i purchased a blackberry curve 8520 (w/contract) from one of the telecommunication companies in my country - philippines. everything started all good until one day i can no longer open/use my pre-installed blackberry browser.
everytime i click on the bb browser logo, the screen just does nothing... nothing loads up on my phone.
then i tried opening the bb browser throgh the task manager panel a message appears stating: "your device does not currently have any browser configuration service book entries. please contact yor service provider to enable the browser on your device"
i have tried rebooting the phone several times, both soft and hard.
can you give me any solution for my problem? TIA.
P.S. i have unlocked my phone so i can use it on other carriers. but the problem started a month before i did so. my two friends also have the same phone (bought the same day as mine) and they are not experiencing the same problem.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here are updated instructions, including notations of the required response from each step. If the response arrives correctly, you move onto the next step. If the response does not arrive correctly, you drop out of the process and contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
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 (pre-BB10 devices only)
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) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. 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.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
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 try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!
