Terminating BlackBerry data charges after changing phones

I've bought a new, non-BlackBerry phone to replace my busted pay-as-you-go Curve 9300, and I'm wondering how to prevent the next £5 data charge being taken from my mobile credit by BB, as occurs every 30 days. Obviously I won't be requiring BB's data services any longer, so how do I "unsubscribe" from this? I don't want to end up still paying for something I'm not using, on top of the data costs for my new non-BB phone.
Apologies if this sounds like a stupid question, but for me the whole concept of paying BlackBerry/RIM for data usage (rather than my network provider, Three UK) has been a bewildering culture shock from day one. Any signposting towards the obvious will be much appreciated!

Hello,
What is indeed bewildering is that you pay anything for your normal services directly to BlackBerry...I have never before heard of that. To my understanding to this point, all billing issues (except for app purchases via BBWorld) are a matter directly between the end user and the mobile service provider...BlackBerry is not at all involved in that "front end" transaction (they will of course have a contract on the "back end" with the carrier which certainly involves some sort of payment from the carrier to BlackBerry). I have never before heard of any payments that are made directly to BlackBerry by any end user. Very strange.
In any event, your formal support procedure would be the method of dealing with this. Which starts with you ringing up 3 and first seeing if they can resolve it...and, if not, then requesting formal escalation (channels for which only they have) up to BlackBerry for enhanced support.

Got this problem with backing up my new iPhone 5 from my other IPhone 4 data. After changing to my new IPhone 5 I haven't backed up my old IPhone in almost a year. Now I want to sync all the data of the old phone and I can't do neither backups. Help!!!!!

Every time I started to at least restore the little data left on the very last update I made in the old phone at Itune It continualy kept trying to restore and at the end a message will appear saying that an error had occurred and restore was unable to complete. Please I need help on this. I got over 2,000 songs in the old phone and I don't want to loose them. Thanks!

Hello DebbieRNPR,
I'd suggest looking over the following articles, as they should be of some use in your endeavor to back up your old iPhone, then restore its content to the new iPhone.

Data deleted after changing ID names

Hi,
I have been having some issues with replacing ID's. Basically, we will sometimes created a temp ID for forecasting, and then replace it with a permanent one when ID has been created in SAP.
So the issue is that, sometimes, not always, when I am replacing an ID, and after I validate and process the dimension, all the data associated with that ID will be lost. So basically, I process first without a full process and wait for the new IDs to replace the old IDs on the spreadsheet, then I perform a full process.
I have also, only performed a full process and the issue was still present. Again, this seems to be sporadic and I am not sure what I am doing to cause this.
When changing the ID name, I am putting the new ID in the "New ID" property.
Also, we are on BPC 5.1
Thank you

Dear Chris,
You're right, I was have the same issue. When you put the new ID on property "NEW ID", the data will be transfer into the new ID and will be clear in the old ID.
Thanks,
Wandi Sutandi

HT1918 Charged after changing payment information

Hi, I changed my credit card information and after confirming this, I received a confirmation from my Credit Card company that I was charged 1$ (approx). Can someone confirm if this is a valid transaction of this will refund later by Apple?

It's a temporary charge. Each time that you add or change your credit card details on your iTunes account then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

Received account usage charges after changing to unlimited plan?

Received my new bill and noticed that I got a credit for switching plans but then got also billed for minutes over allowance? This is after switching from the 700 shared minutes plan to the More Everything? Just a little confused on that one...
Tried getting into a Live Chat session but that didn't seem to want to work. Any Verizon Rep that maybe can give me some insight on this?
Thanks!

Unfortunately since you did not mark your post an an "Unanswered Question" a Verizon rep will not respond.
I had that same issue a while back.
What dates were the overages for and what date did you switch the plan.
If you switch within a bill cycle it'll prorate everything.
So if your bill cycle was from Mar. 1st to Mar. 31st and you changed your plan on Mar. 15th the would prorate your usage.
So then from Mar 1st to Mar. 15th you would still be under the allowance and since it is half a month they would give you half the minutes, so 350 minutes.
Based of the info given, I will have to assume that is what the overages are for.
Good Luck

MEIS - MEssage 'No data selected' after changes in VEFU

Dear Gurus,
While doing the Intrastat reporting, we have the Statistical value as 0 in some of the documents.
The client's requirement is to populate a value in this field.
So, they are trying to use the Transaction VEFU to insert a statistical value for such PO's.
But, after doing this, when we go back to the transaction MEIS & regenerate the report in update mode (Using Log Type B) , it gives the message 'No data selected for this time period'.
Can anyone please suggest the reason for this & how to resolve this?
Thanks

Hi all,
I found a very strange behaviour when reversing Account Maintenance Document.
After posting Account Maintenance using MR11. I used ME23N to view the Account Maintenance document and double click it to get to MR11SHOW. Here I reversed the document. But if i execute MR11 again it prompts out the error "No data selected".
Another scenario is to use execute MR11SHOW directly and reverse the Account Maintenance document. Here I am about to use MR11 to post the document again....
It seems the behaviour for reversing is different by using ME23N and MR11SHOW, which is weird...

Using iMessage after changed phone number

I have recently changed my phone number (i am still using iPhone 4 with the new ios7.4), and my iMessage and facetime stop working, I have tried to restart the phone and signed in again with my apple ID, initially it detected the new phone number, but when iMessage turned on, it changed back to the old number again, I have tried turn on and off iMessage, turn and off iphone but it still doesnt work, is there anything I need to do specifically to ensure my iPhone recognised my new number?

Hey, thanks for the reply :-)
it is possible here in Austria to merge 2 phone number on 1 sim card, so there i have A as main number and B as sub-number.
right now, i'm having only company number in the list at iMessage and my private number is gone. Is it possible, to enter my private number there manually?
hope that everybody understands it
SIM A Company Nr.
SIM B Private Nr.
->
SIM A Company Nr. (Main) + Private Nr. (Sub.)

FaceTime (after changing phone number)

Hi there,
I bought an iPhone 4 on launch day, used FaceTime and worked fine. However I have since changed my number with my mobile network, now people cannot FaceTime me.
If I FaceTime them though it shows up with my old number and if they then try to FaceTime my old number it works! Very confusing I know.
Is there a way I can get this so it knows to FaceTime my new number?
Thanks

I think I have found the answer for this problem it worked for me I copied this from another website so thanks to him!!
Sometimes you might have the wrong number showing under the field "My number" and the field is not editable.
This might be either because you have ported your older number from a different network (via PUK code) to a new one or that you have changed sim
Do the following to correct this:
1) Switch of Wi-FI and make sure you get 3G receptiion
2) Switch off Facetime and for few seconds
3) Go to phone under settings and you should have the correct number
4) Switch facetime back on by entering your iTunes credentials
Hope this helped some of you

IMessage not working with ONE contact after changing phone number

Ok.. I changed my phone number Friday night. (same device) Once I restarted my phone and programmed it (*228) everything was working fine except one contact with iMessage. Since Friday night just one contact will only go through as SMS message. My other imessage users are all going back and forth as blue. This person I am having the problem with is also sending and receiving imessages with other contacts, just to me it is going through as text as well. Any help? I've shut iMessage off and on a bunch of times, turned the phone on and off... nothing seems to be working.. Any advice would be great!

I have the same trouble with one of my contacts and I have been using my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) for a while. I hope we can get a solution.

PAPI-WS data outdated after changes thru Process Administrator

Hi.
We have a strange problem. We are making changes in roles and participants using the Process Administrator. Then we have a development that uses PAPI-WS to access that info. But only if we restart the enterprise server we manage to see those updates to roles and participants thru the PAPI-WS. It seems that the PAPI-WS has a cache that is not updated nor refreshed.
Any clues ? Can we force the cache refresh ?
We are using Oracle BPM 10.3
Thanks !
Best regards,
Matias.

Hi Matias,
PAPI-WS is a PAPI wrapper that exposes PAPI functionality through webservices.
So, what I told you for PAPI also applies to PAPI-WS.
Another PAPI (and also PAPI-WS) characteristic is that it doesn't refresh the roles of a participant while it is logged in. If you want to refresh your roles, you have to close your session and log in again. (like in the workspace)
But... there is a single thing in PAPI-WS that PAPI does not have. That's the session pool.
PAPI-WS has a session pool so as to avoid opening and closing sessions on every single request.
So, in PAPI-WS you don't control explicitly the session log out. That's why the "participantCurrent" roles may not get updated.
The good thing is that PAPI-WS session pool can be configured in papiws.properties.
There is an interesting property "fuego.papiws.pool.timeout" that specify the session timeout (in minutes).
The default value is 5 minutes.
# Session timeout in minutes.
# Related to the length of the interval between calls from the same user.
fuego.papiws.pool.timeout=5
May be you can do reduce that timeout to 1 minute and make the following sequence.
1) Execute the participantCurrent webservice
2) Assign a new role to a participant from the process administrator
3) Execute the participantCurrent webservice (this time, it will show an outdated info)
4) Wait one minute plus some seconds (the timer has low precision)
5) Execute the participantCurrent webservice (this time, it should show the updated info)
Hope this helps,
Ariel

Data charge for phone updates

I recently bought two 9300s from BestBuy. I'm getting data charges that the rep at Koodo says are related to the phone updating itself. I don't have a data plan (only used for messaging and as a phone) so these charges stand out. Some of the charges are at 5AM or at other times when I know the phones are not being used. All data charges are identified simply as RIM. I have a couple of questions:
Re: the charges in the middle of the night. I'm at home - the phone is connected to WiFi. Why would I incur data charges.
Is there a way to tell the phone not to update that will not affect messaging (text & picture) or the phone? Because I'm not using any higher end abilities of the phone I don't really care if it updates.
Is there a way to tell the phone to only update using WiFi? Since some of these charges are from when the phone is connected to WiFi I'm not sure how effective this might be.
Any help would be appreciated. After a month's worth of the BlackBerry/Koodo experience and am somewhat disenchanted.
Thanks

I recently had my Motorola 4G Droid replaced after it was damaged. After activating the new phone, I received a message about a software update that said, "Your RAZR has been updated with Android 4.0 software". After the update I lost all my emails and contacts that had just been synced to my new phone the day before. I am not a techy by any stretch of the imagination, and have had at least five Verizon Wireless devices over the years, and want to know why the software cannot be update before the device is activated? I had to go to a Verizon Wireless franchise/dealer (Millennium Communications, 1660 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown, Pa. 19031) where Bob was of great assistance in getting my emails and contacts restored. It took Bob 45 minutes to do this and he is very conversant with all the Verizon Wireless devices and services. It would have taken incalculably longer for me to to resolve the issue. During the time Bob was assisting me as a "good neighbor" he was unable to make sales during that period and I was unable to fulfill multiple business contacts I had scheduled for that day.
This entire charade seems so unnecessary: Why have a practice that updates software after a device has been activated, only to have all recently transferred emails and contacts erased? This is the antithesis of good customer PR/Service/Customer Support in my opinion. Shame on Verizon Wireless for putting me and Bob through this.

My vi is writing just the same data into spreadsheet even after changing the loop iteration time. hw can I change this mode ?

My VI is writing the same amount of data into spreadsheet file even after changing the for-loop iteration time

You should post the VI (with appropriate values saved as default) to this thread. (At least a JPEG or PNG screenshot).
Inside the For Loop, right-click on the N terminal and create Indicator. Run the VI and you will see how many times the Loop spins.
Further guessing: You may have a 2D array with two rows and many columns feeding the For Loop.

Droid Incredible charging more after the phone is off?

Hi I have read a lot threads regarding battery life and issues but I decided to post here since Verizon responds to these posts. Whenever I charge my phone I unplug it after the light turns green and its fully charged, after reading one of the forums I tried charging till the light turned green then I turned off the phone and to my surprise the light changed from green to orange and the phone continued on charging for another 30 minutes until it turned green. Is there a problem with the battery or the phone software recognizing fully charge too early?
I would appreciate any advice

Hi I have actually noticed a difference because before after less than an hour the battery would read close to 90% but now its taking much longer, the reason for my post is that if the light is green when the phone is on and it says fully charged why can one charge for an extra 30 min when the phone is off? does this mean that the battery is not fully charged when the phone is on?
( P.S I am getting all day worth of work from the battery and wouldnt change this phone for anything

SanandaDutta
tried on a different mac. The same problem exists.
If that is the case, its extremely unlikely you have a bad USB cable on the seagate, rather as I mentioned earlier a bad SATA bridge card.
If the Seagate 1TB USB external wont open on either Mac and youve verified same (try a diff. USB cable if you have one however this is nearly never the case),....then to get the data off that HD (unless it is dead which is also extremely unlikely),......then you would need to extract the HD from its case and insert same into either a HD dock or USB HD enclosure.
8 out of 10 seemingly dead inopperable 1-3+ year old external HD are perfectly fine, rather the cheap 50 cent SATA bridge card fries and dies (alas)
reply back if you need help in extracting same.
