Curve 8520 set-up newbie help please - have wifi but no browser, no internet, no email

I have just acquired this near-new pre-owned Curve. It appeared to have been correctly data-cleared by the previous owner. I've run the set-up wizard and everything worked fine. It's connected to my wifi with a strong signal. But
1. the browser says "Unable to connect to the Internet - contact your service provider", and
2. the email set-up screen does not offer "I want to create or add an email address" as in the User Guide - only "I want to use a work email account" which I don't have and don't want! The screen message says if the "add email address"' option is not shown, contact your wireless provider.
I don't understand! If my TalkTalk broadband (wifi) is connecting my laptop to the internet with no problem, what more do I have to do to get the Blackberry (connected to the same wifi) onto the internet too?
3. And how do I connect to the internet via the phone (Vodafone PAYG) when I am not in wifi range?
Finally:
4. Why does my phone say "unknown number" when it's calling out? The User Guide says it should show my own number. Surely it knows this number from the Sim card?
Completely out of my depth here, as you can see....
Big thanks in advance for any help
Michael

Hiya, as per the messages your phone is giving you.... You need to contact Vodafone.
In order to use the majority of data features on your phone such as email or BBM, you need a blackberry data plan rather than the generic one from your carrier.
So give Vodafone a call - I believe the BlackBerry Bolt On on PAYG is £5 a month with some inclusive data.

I have wifi but not accesss to internet

I can not use my iPod touch 4g using wifi from my iMac. Everything its setup ok. Ask me to verify that I have entered the correct account info in mail settings...... or Cannot open page Safari cannot open the page because it;s not connected to the internet. I'm using a router airport extreme like a router

Head to Settings -> Wifi and click the > next to the network you are currently connected to. What does it list for an IP address? If it is in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your router could not properly issue your iPod Touch a valid IP address via the DHCP protocol. Usually, a simple reboot of your router (or Extreme in your case) should resolve the issue. Simply unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then turn it back on. It wouldn't hurt to reboot your touch as well.

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

HT1218 After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

After a recent iTunes update attempt iTunes no longer functions and the airport extreme base station is not accessable on our computer. We still have wifi but cannot access the base station software.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the response. I tried that approach this evening and it didn't work for me. (Technically it worked for me, when I was hardwired into my base station, but would not work for me wirelessly, which is my main issue.)
Again, using the approach you recommended works only if I have my ethernet cable attached to the LAN port so my computer is communicating directly to the base station through the hard wire. I am able to scan for my base station and make setting adjustments normally this way too.
As soon as I disconnect from the LAN port and try to go wireless is where I run into problems. The Base Station's wireless network I created is available to choose in the top right corner of the monitor with all of the other available wireless devices/networks -- but the network I created does not have access to the internet. I am also unable to configure my Base Station wirelessly. When my Airport Utility tries to scan for the Base Station and Network, it cannot find any Apple Wireless Device. It's like the Wireless Network in my base station is not sending out a signal.
Is there a way to resolve this issue?

My PowerBook G4 says that it's connected to wifi, but it still no internet connection. The connection will work for a while, and then I'll have to run diagnostics and it will work again for a few minutes and then stop working again. What's going on??

Basic troubleshooting techniques for any problem
Restart the computer = joy?

I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either.

HI
I have full signal and have wifi but I'm can't send messages or receive them. I can't make phone calls either. it picks and chooses when I can receive them and make calls. It only works everytime I turn my phone off.

Try turning on Airplane mode for a little bit (20-30 seconds) and turn it back off. see if that doesn't allow you to re-connect.
In my current project my office receives no signal at all. I have to do this almost every time I leave the office in order to get a signal.

my text messages go to everyone except to my daughters. she has an iphone but with bell and mine is with rogers. she receives them when she is at home or say at chapters/tim hortons where they have wifi, but if she is walking somewhere or at somewhere without wifi, it isn't working? i don't understand. she has a text plan. her phone is an iphone 4s can anybody assist me if you know what the problem may be? thanks so much.

Have her go to Settings>Cellular and make sure Cellular Data is turned to On. If she's having trouble with regular sms messages, check her carrier to be sure her messaging plan is properly provisioned.

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi. Open Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

NONE of the buttons on my curve 8520 are working. HELP!

So, today I pulled out my phone and the screen was black. I took out the battery, put it back in and the LED just kept blinking. I pulled the battery out again and left it for a bit. It turned on, when it turned on my phone was locked. I couldn't press any buttons. No matter what it was, the four buttons on the top row, the trackpad or any of the keys weren't working. My phone still turns on normally but none of the buttons work.
I have a Curve 8520.
Thanks.

Im having the same problem,Not sure what to do..Good luck

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. already suggested
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
