New device. Need help setting it up! tks.

Hi, I just got an unlocked BB Curve 8520.
My idea is to set it up to be used with multiple carries, instead of only one. Is that possible?
If it is, can someone help me with the email, contacts and calendar set up process?
I was told I did not need blackberry service from my phone companies. I travel a lot, and I usually like to buy a prepaid (with data service) sim card in the country I'm in, so I do not have to pay for all these int'l roaming charges.....
I have sim cards from Brazil, France, UK, and Switzerland. I used to have an HTC phone (windows OS) tha worked perfectly, but it died on me, so I need a replacement. Could the BB be it?
Thank you all for your help!
Rodrigo.

Please don't post your question multiple times in multiple forums. 
You were "told" incorrectly.
If you want email and data on the BB you MUST subscribe to a BlackBerry data plan.  Once the email is setup on a carrier's data plan then you can't pop in another sim card with a BB data plan and get that email.  The email setup is tied to both the sim AND the pin of the BlackBerry.
If you're not worried about data/email then it's no problem, you can pop in sim cards as you please.

  • Very new user needs help setting up a three user network plus server

    Hi,
    I'm an owner/manager of a recruitment company in the UK and we use three mac minis in our office to run our recruitment software (on a filemaker database) internet, mail and MS Office 2008.
    We currently use one of the mini's as a 'server' in so much that it has a external HDD attached and shared across the network. We use Airport Extreme to share the internet.
    Although to begin with this set up has served us well the amount of data travelling across the network and the prospect of a couple of new employees starting has made me think it's time to invest in a network and server of some description.
    With my very limited knowledge i'm proposing the following but would greatly appreciate some assistance from the forum users!
    Install OSX 10.5.3 Server on one of the Mac Minis
    Get an ethernet switch and cable the three minis together
    Use the external HDD as a time machine backup and store all files on the 'server' HDD
    Continue to use the Airport Extreme to share the internet over airport.
    I have a couple of questions:
    Can the Server computer still be used as a desktop or do we need to buy a new mini
    Does this set up make the airport base station redundant
    As we grow I would envisage enlisting the help of a specialist Mac IT support company but in the mean time any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you again in advance.

    I would get something better specified than a mini to be my Mac OS X based server, and although you can run it as a desktop I wouldnt advise it.
    You ought to go out and buy the book Mac OS X Server 10.5 Essentials - The only Apple-certified book on Mac OS X Server - which Ive found to be a godsend of a book in getting Leopard Server going. Make sure you get the 10.5 version. Im in the UK and got it from Foyles in London.
    Your approach is fine, but Leopard Server isnt as plug and go as the rest of Apples products. In particular it just doesnt function correctly if you do not have working DNS before you start. Period. If you dont understand DNS in your office or If having read the book you find its too technical you might be better off buying a no-brand Network File Store/Disk or even a Time Capsule from Apple if its mainly shared disk space that you need.

  • New person needs help setting up jdk

    I am finding it impossible to extract the WinRAR zipped src.dir files. I have searched the internet and can't find any logical/simple to follow directions. I feel like a real idiot posting this here but I see no viable alternative. Please help. Once I learn I will be happy to give back to the community.

    Ok, let's start with the first lesson. Please post your question in a forum relevant to your question. This one is not!
    Ask meaningful questions would help too. Setting up a jdk doesn't need unzipping a src.dir.

  • I accidentally set up my new ipad in itunes under the name of my existing ipad and need to set it up as a new device. Help. I cannot find a way to start fresh.

    I accidentally set up my new ipad in itunes under the name of my existing ipad and need to set it up as a new device. Help. I cannot find a way to start fresh.

    That's probably not a good idea to try to share apps since you will have to switch ID's each time you update apps and sync apps from iTunes.
    And technically - according to Apple's terms - you cannot share apps using different ID's. You can actually lock yourself out of an ID for 90 days if you switch ID's and if you associate the iPad with another ID.
    The bold type is a copy and paste from the site that I referenced below.
    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.

  • Deperately need help setting up external midi devices

    I need help setting up external midi devices.....Motu828...Midi express...RolandXV3080....Motif rack.......HELP

    Theres not really much to setup. Assuming your synths are connected to the MIDI Express already..
    In Logic, make a new MIDI track. On the left hand side in the track inspector, among the parameters you'll see an option for MIDI Port and Channel. Just pick which port the track is going to, set the channel and device id and play (And be glad you never had to deal with setting up the old Environment window in Logic 5 and below).
    If you really wanna get into it and have all your MIDI ports named after the synth thats connected to it, open up Audio Midi Setup, create a device icon for each synth you have and draw the cables from each device to whatever port its connected to on the midi interface's icon.
    Then in Logic everytime you pick your MIDI port on your track, instead of MIDI Port 1, MIDI Port 2, etc.,
    it would be labelled XV-3080, Motif Rack, and so on.. I dont think theres anyway to do this within Logic itself (you can change the labels on your audio ins and outs, but not MIDI as far as I can recall)..
    If youre talking about having access to patch names and whatnot like Digital Performer and Cubase let you do, Logic doesnt use the xml patch lists everyone else does. The above steps are pretty much all there is to be done as far as MIDI.
    Heres my Audio Midi Setup window for reference.
    Now when I select MIDI Port 1 in Logic its named MWXT, port 2 is SR-16, etc..

  • Need help setting up and configuring rsync

    Hello
    I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
    Here is what I would like to:
    - I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
    - The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
    - this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
    - hopefully this makes sense??
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    It's a lofty but unrealistic goal.  Rsync does not run automatically.  There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
    I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
    If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

  • HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • I need help setting up an apple id for my sons phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    Two different things
    If you forgot the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
    The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

    Teresa,
    I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
    I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

  • Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

    Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
    I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
    However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
    Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
    Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

    You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

  • HT5085 i have new device need to download info from icloud please advise

    I have new device need to download info and pic, music from iclould please advice

    What 'info' do you want to download ? Have you backed up or copied your info to the cloud ?
    If you've backed up another iOS device to the cloud then you should be able to restore that backup onto your new device.
    Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    Whether you can redownload your iTunes music purchases from the cloud depends upon what country that you are in - music can't be redownloaded in all countries. If you are in a country where music can be redownloaded then it will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for redownloading. Your own music will only show if you've subscribed to iTunes Match. If you can't redownload music then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes.
