Using unlocked bb curve 9310 w/Tmobile without data

Greetings, I am looking to buy a bb curve 9310. At the moment, I am in a 2 year contract with Tmobile-unlimited call & text, no data plan. I need to change my phone and I would like a blackberry because I text a lot, and also I would use its WiFi capabilities as well. I've been doing some research, and it appears to be not so simple as to just buying the phone and putting a SIM card. I would just like to know if I'd be able to use an unlocked bb curve 9310 with my Tmobile SIM (2 year plan, no data) I already know that I wont be able to use features such as BBM. I'm waiting till my contract expires and maybe then add a data plan or switch carriers. Any response would be greatly appreciated since I need to change my phone ASAP. Thank you!

That does happen with carriers like At&t and Verizon. However, T-mobile US doesn't do that. I have an iPhone and a BB 9780 for two of my kids on family plans for $5 each per month--no data plans.

Hello,

Thanku

Hey shivamr25,
Thanks for the reply.
After checking your PIN number, it shows you do not have a BlackBerry® data plan with your network service provider. This is required to use Google® Talk. Contact your network service provider to add a plan.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Can I use my unlocked Blackberry 8700g on AT&T without data charges?

Hi, my phone recently broke so I went on ebay and bought an unlocked Blackberry 8700g. I previously had no data plan on my old cell phone, just the pay as you go type thing. If I start using the unlocked Blackberry will AT&T automatically start billing me for a BlackBerry data plan, even if I don't use any data? I don't need data, the phone is only temporary and I mainly bought it for the QWERTY for texting.
Thanks in advance

I've heard of some carriers sending an SMS that offers service. If you reply in whatever their proscribed manner is, that constitutes activating a contract. But I think it still requires you to respond...I don't think that they can just start giving you service and sending you bills if you've never actively accepted some contractual arrangement. But, one never knows...carriers get more and more creative all the time.

You can't.
Take it to an Apple Store as an alternative. Be sure to carry proof that it is indeed yours and not pilfered from someone.

Blackberry Curve 9310 won't reconfigure my Google email

I accidently pressed something on my Blackberry Curve 9310 and it caused all my phone calls and Google emails to run together for awhile. Well,I finally fixed that,but now I can't send any pictures from my phone to my Google email without me getting a message that I'm being redirected to the Setup Wizard because messaging isn't configured. I then get to Setup,press email accounts,and I'm stuck.....nothing happens. My phone won't do anything. I can read my emails,but cannot send anything to my email,and I like to send my pictures from my phone to my Google account to edit them before posting them online anywhere. I have tried the Service Book thing,but nothing works there either. Please help...this is very frustrating!!!

Internet data configuration for unlocked BB Curve 8310

After much research I was directed to this site for help.
I have an issue with BB 8310 Curve internet data configuration.
I bought an unlocked BB Curve and I am unable to access internet.
I have an internet plan with my carrier; Consumer Cellular. I have the settings that I received from them (they do not carry BB) that I can input manually; but have no clue how to do this. I tried to register, but was unsuccessful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Solved!

Blackberry's require a specific Blackberry Data Plan in order to function properly where the information is pushed from your service provider to the phone in the form of "Service Books".
Without those service books you will be unable to use the majority of features on your phone - and as you have said your carrier does not support Blackberrys then I would imagine they do not offer a Blackberry Data Plan.
Some more details on what you can and cannot do with a generic data plan can be found here.

How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one?

Hi,
How can I use Iphone 4 as an mp3 player without a sim card until I get one? I just bought the phone and each time I try to switch it on to use the mp3 player, I cannot. It asks me to insert a sim card and I don't have a sim card yet. I was thinking I could use the mp3 player function of my phone until I buy a sim card.
Thank you for your help in advance,

Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help thanks,

Can i use blackberry builtin email client with wifi without BIS or BES

Hello everyone, I am using blackberry 9300 curve 3G. is it possible to use blackberry builtin email client through wifi without having the Blackberry services (BIS or BES)? i want to use my official email id (POP3 and smtp) on it. if possible please share the method..
Thanks in advance

Not that I know of. You have to have a blackberry data plan in order to use the built in email. After that, you can use WiFi only.

Blackberry Curve 9310

Hi
I want to ask a question? and see if its possible, I have verizon for almost 4 yrs, right now I'm able to upgrade the phone, but I want to wait until January to buy the new Blackberry with OS 10. but the current phone that I have rigth now is broken, and I don't have insurance, but I don't want to sign a two years contract, but I was thinking if is possible to use a curve 9310 from boost mobile on the verizon Network, I was checking the specs and both are CDMA, can anyone help me with my inquire.
Thanks.

Hi civic20,
I understand your desire to wait for the release of a future device to use your upgrade! While we do not have any information about future phones, it is very possible that all manufacturers (including RIM) will be launching new devices some time in the near future. As indicated by Spiral (thank you!) only Verizon Wireless branded phone will work in our network. What happened to your phone? Has it sustained water/physical damage? If you have insurance you can process an insurance replacement claim online at http://PhoneClaim.com/Verizon at your convenience. If you do not have insurance you can get a Certified Pre-Owned phone at a discount with our http://goo.gl/3CLWS CPO replacement program. I want you to have a working phone, I trust that one of the above options will work for you. Happy holidays!

Setting White/Black Points using the Tone Curve

I'm trying to set white/black points using the tone curve, but when I try to slide either of the end points of the line in the tone curve tool I can't get them to move. Could those be locked somehow...?

That's what it is supposed to do. Without the sliders, you are working with the curve itself. Now you have direct control of the curve, and can drag any part of it. Have you considered setting your white and black points using the whites and blacks in the basic panel while holding down the alt/opt key? I suppose the reason it says point curve is because that icon is what you used to switch to the point curve.

No message services configured on unlocked vodafone curve now with Tigo sim card

Recently unlocked my curve 8520 from vodafone Ireland. I am based in Central America now and it now has a Tigo El Salvador chip. I can receive emails, texts and BBM. Can also send texts & BBM but cannot send emails. The phone previously worked with my office BES but they have since migrated from blackberry. The message after i attempt to send an email is "no message services configured. You will only be able to save draft".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Several things to check...
Options > Advanced > Default Services.
Under Messages > do you have your default email listed? If not, choose it if you can.
If it is not present...
Please try this, using your BlackBerry browser...
1)
• Go to mobile.blackberry.com OR to www.blackberry.com/integrate
• Scroll down to Communication and then to Email.
• Choose the appropriate email set up options, and either edit the current account in question and save. Or you can delete that account and then return and set it up again.
If that works and completes your email setup/editing, good.
If not, follow these additional instructions:
2) Register HRT: (OS5) Home Screen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > Scroll to any line entry and > press the Menu key > and then click Register Now. If you have an OS 6 or OS 7 device, Look at Options > Device > Advanced > Host Routing Table, etc.
3) Resend Service Books: Article ID: KB02830 How to send the service books for a BlackBerry Internet Service account. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
4) Then, with the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
5) Now, return to the 1) mobile.blackberry.com email setup as mentioned above and follow that.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

Blackberry Curve 9310 Battery shows Red X with JM1 9900/9930 = 1230mah

Blackberry Curve 9310 Battery shows Red X with JM1 9900/9930 = 1230mah Is it possible to get the new JM1 battery to work with the Blackberry curve 9310 the original battery was JS1 9200/9230 = 1450mah the site I ordered stated they were identical but the device shows not connected properly with the JM!. I'm told there may be a update to remove the notfication that I can install? Thank you

I GOT A SOLUTION!
Ok, so this has been happening to me a lot with my 9790, and it sure is a pain in the ***...
I got my battery with my phone when I purchased it from the phone company, if you did too the battery is most likely legit.
So the 2 ways that worked for me are:
1) Plug the charger into the device and turn it on so the Red X appears again
2) Plug the device out, then take the battery out and hold it in your hands for 1-2 mins (that's what I did)
3) Put the battery back into the device and plug the charger back into the device, BUT DO NOT turn the device back on
I plugged the changer into my device without turning it on, and the LED turned on with a black screen, you wait 1-3mins and the screen will appear with a lightening bolt through a battery.
This means it's now charging, once that happened I still didn't turn it on. It'll go to the Blackberry loading screen on it's own. TA-DAH!!
If that doesn't work, here's the second way, but it's a pain in the ***...
Hopefully you Backed Up your phone recently..because what you're going to have to do is reinstall your phone, I can't remember the steps correctly but it's pretty simple
What you want to do is connect your BlackBerry to your desktop or laptop, and open up the BB Desktop Manager. From there your BlackBerry won't be detected. Then you have to update it and click on look for updates or whatever it says, then do that and even though you already have that version just click ok to update it. From there it'll update and reinstall everything. By the time it's done you're phone should be wiped except for the things you have saved on your little memory card. Next just restore everything you had backed up from the desktop manager.
Hope one of those steps helped ya!

Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work with Curve 9310

Can anyone help me troubleshoot why the Blackberry Desktop Manager won't work when I plug my Balckberry Curve 9310 into the USB port. The program freezes and shuts down. If I try to use the device switch wizard I get this message "Fatal Error has occured while updating your device's software. Please try again." I had to purchase a new Blackberry because my provider doesn't work in my new location so I bought StraightTalk Blackberry because I use it for business and I am familar with the phone. I am desparate to get my connections loaded onto my new phone. Help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!

How do I unlock mi-fi on my IPad without password?

How do I unlock wi-fi on my IPad without password?

you can remove the password on your internet by either contacting your service provider or doing it yourself over the internet. if you're trying to use someone elses internet then either ask to use their internet if your friends or if you're daring enough. Aircrack it haha
