World Edition, Turkey couldn't register my phone

I was in Turkey for 3 months last year. I bought the World Edition BlackBerry so I would have communication with my family and friends while I was abroad. In Turkey, you have to register your phone with a cell company, otherwise service will be disrupted after two weeks. When I attempted to register my phone, they said that they could not do it because the BlackBerry network had no knowledge of me. As a result, I had to use Skype, which was a pain because I had to schedule my calls to home. Also, the phone worked with a Vodafone sim, but not with a Turkcell sim. Has anyone traveled to Turkey and had the same problem? If not, what were the steps you took to register your phone?
If it helps, in the States I am with Alltel and they do not use sims except for their "global" BlackBerrys. Could this be the problem? I have called Alltel and they have no clue what to do and some of them have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm getting married there this summer and really need to have this situation fixed because our guests are arriving at different times and I will either turn to crack or run away if I have to polish wedding plans AND stay inside trying to coordinate things from Skype.
H E L P FELLOW BB USERS!!

Sprint 8830 World Edition SIM issue and possible cause

I recently purchased a Sprint 8830 World Edition as a good travel/backup phone. The device is unlocked, as verified by going to Options>Advanced Options>SIM Card and then typing MEPD. Everything there shows Disabled.
Here's my problem:
While in the U.S. just to test it out, I inserted a T-mobile SIM and the 8830 searches for a GSM network, and after a while shows "no service". I also tried an AT&T SIM and the 8830 does the seach again, and after a while shows "no service". Am I getting this because I'm the U.S? Is this any indication I'll have a problem in another country using a local SIM card?
Addition info:
When the 8830 was released, way back when, I found a comment from someone saying
"this (8830) is only unlocked for GSM networks, and presumably only those GSM networks that aren't in the same region as Sprint networks (so roaming on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US is probably also out of the question"

This correct. It will not work in the US.

*****After looking at your config again, I see your "voice register pool-type 7841" had been added. I should have looked at the config a little closer.
Hello Akaffou Aristid,
The 7841 phone is a revision of the older 6941 phone and it needs to be referenced in the config.(Fast Track Configuration)

How can i transfer my 2 8830 world edition verizon phones to another US provider? is this possible?

I have 2 bb world editions that I paid cash for, and i live near the ocean and verizon stinks here due to a small hill that blocks the local phone tower, other services work fine here, ATT is really good, sprint isnt great, etc... but I am tired of having to go stand 3 feet into the surf to get calls threw, and cant tether at all... and verizon wants me to pay them a lot for the last month of no service... ssoooooo is there any way to transfer to another carrier? Help...!!! thanks for any info
william

Ok, the devices are yours< and what happens with the contract, can you get out of contract?
If you can change the service to Sprint, ATT is GSM and the devices are CDMA.
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.

Help Needed with my inactive Verizon 8830 World Edition...

Hello all, new to the site and am looking forward to both the information offered and whatever way I can contribute...
I have a Verizon (not active) 8830 World Edition that have been unused now for 2+ years as we had moved to Scotland, UK for educational reasons and have since used Orange and the Blackberry's they offer.
My wife is going back to the states and we'd like to use this Blackberry with a Simm card bought to use for both local calls whilst she is there and calls back to me in the UK. We previously bought a card to put in the phone but it did not work and when going through the cards support they informed us we needed to call Verizon.
As before mentioned the 8830 World Edition is NOT registered with a carrier/Verizon anymore. Called Verizon at 888 844 0395 and they told me that I HAVE TO HAVE my phone connected with a Verizon Plan and that is the only way it will work (proprietary).
The phone IS unlocked as we initially used it once we moved to the UK but now we want to use it back in the US to call home here in the UK with a US Simm card...
Seems a shame if we can't and I'm sure there is a solution out there if anyone with the know how is reading... any help out way is greatly appreciated...

That is correct. Spot on.

That is also correct... it is usable OUTSIDE of the USA on GSM networks, but NOT in the USA on ATT or Tmobile. Only Verizon in the USA.
Sorry, that's the beauty of the 8830.

8830 World Edition Operating System Continually Freezes

I purchased a World Edition in March '09 and shortly thereafter it continually froze up after being idle for more than two minutes. This started after upgrading the OS to v4.5.2. The phone couldn't be repaired and was replaced. The new phone started behaving the same way. It would work while active but after 2 minutes of idle time it would totally freeze then 5 or 6 minutes later would come alive and freeze again after a short idle time. Wiping clean solved the problem the last time but it occured again. Does anyone know the cause or a fix?

When the phone was wiped did you choose to also erase third party applications? What additional apps are loaded on the device? Is your replacement device running 4.5 or 5.0 OS?

Cannot backup time machine to wd world edition external hard drive

After installing os x lion I cannot back up Time Machine to a WD World Edition external hard drive. My Mac can see it in Finder but when I try and configure Time Machine it tells me - There was a problem connecting to the server "MyBookWorld.local" then goes on to say The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administratot to resolve the problem. Is it a firmare p[roblem?

WD knowledgebase article acknowledging the issue and stating that they are working on a fix. If you register you can subscribe to the article so you're notified when it is updated.

I am unable to set my WD mybook world edition (white light) for time machine.

I have new iMac running OS X Mavricks 10.9 and a WD mybook world edition (white light) connected via eithernet to router.
I am unable to set up time machine using this drive.
I can see the MyBookWorld drive in Finder and read and write files with no problems. I can also see the MyBookWorld_Backup drive but I am unable to connect.
Time machine can see the drive but when I select, use drive, it trys to connect and gives me an error message: There was a problem connecting to the server "MyBookWorld-Backup"
I have already updated the hardrive firmware.
Any ideas?

WD and their lack of support for Mavericks:
A recent email from WD reads:
Dear WD Registered Customer,
UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.
Sincerely,
Western Digital
Which is basically Western Digital informing you that their out-of-date utilities don’t support Mavericks.
In any case those utilities are not the most effective. The moral of the story is: the first thing you should do after buying a WD drive is to format it as HFS Extended (Journaled) and not install ANY of their utilities but instead use reliable applications like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper - or Time Machine.

Firmware Update for my blackberry 8830 world edition with Bell Canada

Hi does anyone know if there is firmware update for the Blackberry 8830 world edition with the carrier being Bell Canada? I am running version 4.2 and I know there is 4.5 but I am not sure if this applies the my phone with Bell Canada. When I boot up my desktop manager and checks for updates and says that there is no update. I don't want to update if it is not necessary and not be able to run my blackberry. If I am able to update where would I go to get the 4.5 update?

You have to repair Desk Manager or unintall and reintall DM, but this time uncheck "Auto update" and anything that refer to "update" the reason why I mention that is because everythime you run DM, it goes online and check for newer version and put this file "vendor.xml" in the Blackberry Common Folder, and with that file in place, it will block the program from installing the newer version from a difference cell company..
From what I see 4.2 is the only version that is up to date for a 8830...but if you have a 8820, you can update to 4.5.

Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message:
"a problem occurred when trying to render page"
Can anyone help?

If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

Will there be a CDMA Curve World Edition

Hello to the new Blackberry forums. Guess I am the first person to post here. Anyway, I noticed that the Curve that is launching for CDMA carriers soon is not a World Edition phone. Does anyone know if there will be one at some point? I would love to get the Curve, but I have to have the International capabilities. Thanks

kewl i did not know that. so if you cant wait then the 8330 is for the win?
im not so good with advice. can i interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Rev A on 8830 World Edition?

I am trying to decide on buying a Curve 8330 or a 8830 WE and the deciding factor will be if the 8830 WE can do Rev A or not. I will be on Verizon and the phone will be from them. Does the 8830 WE support Rev A now? If not, will there be some kind of free/cheap firmware upgrade available to do so in the near future? I've heard that an "upgrade" will be coming out and I don't know if it is true or that if it is true that it will be something that can be easily done to current 8830s. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply. The similarity in the Blackberry model numbers is a little confusing. I am specifically referring to the 8830 World Edition, not the Curve 8330. Verizon's website says the Curve 8330 will not be Rev A upgradeable (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedP...) but says nothing about the 8830's Rev A capabilities or lack thereof. I sent Verizon an email this morning asking the same thing but haven't heard anything back yet.

Podcasting with an 8830 World Edition Blackberry

Is it possible to download podcasts (audio only) to the 8830 World Edition Blackberry? If so, can someone direct me to where I can find the instructions for this process?

No, you can't , if you turn off the phone, the data is turned off too.
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
