How can i get my Blackberry Internet Connection

Hi, I need help setting up my Blackberry 9850 to access the internet. I recently bought my phone via ebay and installed a new OS for my service provider in Kenya. The phone was locked to Verizon wireless service and upon unlocking it i still have no idea on what to do. My service provider claims that the phone is branded and that i should contact Verizon to provide me with the designated pin to unlock the BB internet connection. Any help or advice will be much appreciated

Here's the real problem.
Many things (in particular data features) on BlackBerry devices are controlled by something called Service Books.
The Service Books are pushed to the device from the service provider (carrier) once you have the proper BLACKBERRY Data Plan.  A generic smartphone internet plan will not work.
However, if you are trying to use a Verizon BlackBerry on a service provider that does not support that specific device model number natively, you will need to MANUALLY load the generic Service Books from YOUR service provider.  You will need to search the internet to see if the Service Books are even available (which they most likely are not).
Otherwise, you need to get a device that is NATIVELY supported by your service provider.
BlackBerry devices work differently from other smartphones.

  • My iPad keeps loosing the internet connection. All of my other devices work. Last time this happened, comcast charged $49 to fix it. They said that it's somethin that I downloaded. How can I get back my internet connection on my iPad ?

    My iPad keeps loosing the internet connection. Last time this happened comcast charged $49 to fix it. They said that the problem was perhaps caused by something that I down loaded. All my other devices still connected to internet. Tried to reset my settings. Still won't work. Any advice ?

    First, changing your DNS settings could not possibly have any effect on this problem.
    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

    So if you are ONLY carrying an iPad, you are stuffed! Can anyone help to confirm this?
    thanks very much
    Incorrect. I took a new, never before opened Airport Express to Japan with me. I configured it with the aforementioned Airport  Utility which I had downloaded to my iPad before I left. It took lestt then 5 minutes to set up.

    If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

    Have you confirmed that the app supports AirPlay? If it doesn't, then you'll have to connect via screen mirroring. See:

  • HT5628 I've downloaded bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but I can't get a wireless internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've downloade bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but i can't get the wireless internet to work. It does not seem to recognise it. Without the use of the internet the software that i want to install i.e sage instant accounts will be useless. Can anyone help please? i also have a problem of ejecting the cd disc. i press the normal eject button and nothing happens. The only way i could eject the windows 7 disc was to toggle to the mac side of the computer and it would eject from there. Does anyone know how to do this from the windows side?

    You have not installed the Boot Camp drivers.
    Start up in OS X and download the Windows support software from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 Follow the steps of the link except the ones to install Windows.
    Then, start up in Windows and install the Windows support software

  • How can I get airport to automatically connect to a network again?

    Dear helpful ones,
    I connect to the internet and a printer via a wireless router. Previously airport automatically logged in to my network. Recently, I had to reset my router and modem. Since then, airport doesn't automatically log in. I need to manually select my network from the airport menu to join after every time the computer sleeps or is shut down. The password is still in the keychain. I didn't think any of my computer setting had changed or needed to...
    If anyone can offer a suggestion as to how to get airport to once again automatically log in to my wireless network, this would be most appreciated.
    Yours, Jeremy

    There's quite a common problem with OS X and getting it to auto-connect, although there are fairly obvious simple ways to solve it they didn't always work, the procedure below is long winded but does have a fairly high success rate.
    1. Move "System Preferences.app" to "Applications\"
    2. Delete all preferred networks in Network Preferences
    3. Delete all Airport password in Keychain Access
    4. Restart
    5. Choose network from drop-down menu and enter password
    6. Restart

  • How do I get rid of Internet Connection reminder, please?

    Every 30 minutes I am asked if I want to stay connected to the Internet.
    Yes - I do, otherwise I'd disconnect.
    How do I get rid of this please?
    I'm using Safari and I've searched vigorously through every preference I can find.
    This is particularly annoying when I've started a download as I think the thing disconnects after two minutes of an unanswered prompt.
    Sorry if this has been dealt with elsewhere (I have looked).

    Try the instructions in this FAQ if they are applicable to your configuration and you haven't already done so.

  • Can't get a wireless internet connection with a F@st 3464 modem

    I'm having trouble getting access to the internet with my ArchLinux laptop and a F@st 3464 router via wireless (WEP). On the other hand, a winxp laptop and the n900 running maemo 5 have no problem to problem to get an internet connection.
    My ArchLinux laptop is configured to connect to my home wireless network:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    wlan_eth1="eth1 essid MyWifi key s:XXXXXXXXXXX"
    eth1="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(eth1)
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    DAEMONS=(slim syslog-ng network ntpdate netfs crond cpufreq ntpd @alsa @hal @laptop-mode)
    ### END /etc/rc.conf ###
    This works fine.
    But now in this other place, there's a F@st 3464 modem/router which is giving me headaches:
    $ iwlist scanning
    lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth1 Scan completed :

    The router ip is 192.168.1.1, and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

    Now I try to configure a new wireless connection manually:

    $ iwconfig
    lo no wireless extensions.
    eth0 no wireless extensions.

    So far so good. I can see on the F@st 3464 router that the laptop is connected (its mac address is listed).

    dhcpcd: timed out
    Any suggestions? (I guess that this must be something stupid, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to have a feeling of what's wrong).

    Try a complete power cycle, maybe the devices will refresh and 'find' each other
      Power down the PC first then the router and then the modem - wait a minute or so -- then power them back up in reverse order waiting for the correct lights to come in each device before moving on to power up the next device
       I would think this should get you connected again since you had a good connection up to yesterday
       If not check back -- something may have been corrupted and there are other procedures to try if so - myself or some one else will be glad to assist

  • How can i use Siri without Internet connectivity?

    Siri doesn't work without Internet.
    I was in a situation yesterday, when i was driving and have to call my Dad.
    Due to the bad weather, data services were down and when i used Siri to call my Dad's number, its just said "Siri not available, please connect to Internet"
    I can understand, that for Weather details, Web search etc, Internet is required, but at least Siri should handle in-phone features like "calling, Texting etc", without Internet connectivity.

    Even though it seems like Siri should be able to handle things such as dialing a number or dictating a text, an internet connection is required for Siri to function. There is currently not a way to get Siri to do otherwise.

    anyone able to help me

    Have you got the Blackberry Unlimited bolton at £10 per month or the blackberry payu on your account?
    Have you registered your device to www.o2email.co.uk or registered on the mobile site by going through the setup wizzard?
    I have never heard about a service pack, but they probably mean service books, these 2 questions are vital to know if you have access to blackberry.net.  Also if you have already done the two above, I would suggest you try email settings>services and settings>service books.  Do a battery removal and retest.  There are other checks but I'm not sure how far you have got so far
