Will i have to pay to use the blackberry internet service?

Q. Hi, im looking on getting a blackberry curve for christmas, its not on contract- im just going to pay as you go, is BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) a free service and does the internet cost (If i topped up £5), does it take it off the top everytime i use the internet?

My blackberry internet services and bbm is not working help?
Q. So my new 9320 blackberry internet services are not working, including my bbm. I have spoken to many people who said to take out the battery and sim, when the device is on, I have done that and it still hasn't worked? What has ever people done, which worked?

A. BBM and data require BlackBerry Internet Service (data).

Contact your wireless provider to add data to your wireless plan.

If you have a data plan, contact your provider to properly set up BIS.

Does the Blackberry internet service give you free web-browsing?
Q. I have no money in my phone currently, but I have the BIS added to my account, and I can still browse the internet and download stuff. So does the BIS actually allow me to do this? And also, when I download apps, it says "25MB free." Is this the amount I am allowed to download before having to rebuy the package?

Thanks for any help in advance!

A. 25MB free indicates how much space yopu have left to store apps on your phone/memory card.

As for the rest of your question .... As you can do it then it's BIS that lets you do it

Why is an iPhone more expensive than even a Blackberry Bold despite the latter being more business-oriented?

Q. Also, which is realistically more practical, a Blackberry Smartphone or a Nokia Smartphone? Some of the advantages of the latter appear to be some providers offer unlimited push email for a quarter of the price of the former and cheaper 3G units. What is Blackberry's advantage?
For personal use?

A. It is obvious that thee BlackBerry Bold 9700 or 9650 are the more realistically practical choices for the enterprise due to BES. Yes, it is more expensive. If you'd like a cheaper plan on the company's side, consider BES Express. Keep in mind that BIS is also very useful for your personal email, wireless desktop synch or exchange but BES is always the government, hospital or enterprise choice. Also, the BlackBerry can even serve as your PBX when away from the office and you can share your notes and information wirelessly. BlackBerry Messenger is also rated faster than SMS in times of emergencies. The 9700 on 3G will allow you to simultaneously send and receive data whilst engaged on a call so this is particularly useful for those who need to stay on long conversations whilst multitasking with sending and receiving email, browsing the web for stock quotes, receiving new calendar data from the secretary about a new meeting or a meeting that has been moved up or cancelled, and even use facebook, twitter, linkedin or whatever social network.
The BlackBerry offers uncompromised instant and secure wireless delivery of email, pages, IM, valuable company information, contacts, notes, tasks and calendar information that can either be administered by your IT department or by yourself through the BIS site/email setup icon.

How do I transfer my video s from my blackberry bold 9900 to my macbook pro?
Q. My phone's memory is full and I want to put it on my laptop. I downloaded Blackberry Media software from the blackberry website but I can only find how to stuff on my phone.

A. Connect hte phone to the computer and then, transfer the videos to there....

Good luck!

is there a easy way to transfer contacts from blackberry bold to droid on different companies?
Q. I have a blackberry bold 9700 for t-mobile, and i want to transfer all my contacts to a new droid i will be getting sometime in thsi week. Is there a easier way to transfer my contacts other than having to write them down? Because i know for same companies, you can transfer contacts at a local t-mobile or verizon phone.

A. From your Bold's browser, go to "http://m.google.com" (take out the default www). Download the application Google Sync. This will allow you to sync not only your contacts, but your messages and your calendar to your gmail account. Once you get your droid - simply put in your gmail on the setup screen and you should see all your information sync to your phone.

How do i download blackberry software to external hard drive?
Q. I want to download the blackberry software (website download) onto my external harddrive so i can upload the software ontop my laptop. I can't download the software to my laptop from the web because i dont have internet avail on my home computer, and i want to use the blackberry desktop software so i can connect my blackberry to my laptop as a modem. help!

A. First plug the external drive into the computer that's going to be used for this. Make sure windows recognizes the drive. It should appear as whatever the next drive letter is. Probably going to be the "E" drive but it could even be "F". Just depends on that computer. So make sure you can see your external drive before continuing.

Then go to the website where the update is. There should be some sort of button to click on the blackberry site that pertains to "update" or "download", something like that. When you click that button you should then get a window asking you if you want to "run" "save" "cancel" this. Click SAVE.

Without knowing what operating system you have, I can't say what you will see next. But if it's Vista or Windows 7, at this point you will be on a window for saving the file you have selected to save. Look on the left and click on "computer" so that you can expand computer and be able to see all of the drives. Once you see the external drive of yours, just click on it and then select save.

When I try to install my Blackberry Software on my laptop it say invalid H drive, what is the H drive?
Q. When I tried to install it for the first time I had to use an external drive because the drive on my laptop will not work. It said I had an invalid H drive. So I went to Blackberry's website and downloaded it. I installed it again and it also said invalid H drive. I can't figure out what the problem it, please help!

A. Drive H just means one of your slots in your computer .Like for your USB or any connection to your computer.
Did you check if it was fully inserted?
That must of been the problem ! :)

How can I activate my Blackberry Storm 9530 and what is the unlock code for h2o wireless?
Q. I just got this phone and need the unlock codes and service books for h2o wireless to get the browser and other features working, but mainly the browser. Yes, I have a data plan for internet on my blackberry. Also how do you make the wifi-option appear under "manage connections"? Thanks to anyone that will help me out! :)

A. Blackberry 9530 is a CDMA device that can work with GSM if it's unlocked.

WIFI is not an option with that device. NOT SUPPORTED.
To get the service books you can call your carrier and ask them to send it to you or just try to update the host routing table form your unlocked blackberry (under options).

The unlock code for your Blackberry is unique and you just need to use a Blackberry unlocking service or to contact the original carrier and ask for the unlock code.
You can also take it to a store and get it unlocked but the online option is the cheap one so save your money..

How to turn on the blackberry internet service and blackberry enterprise server?
Q. I bought a t-mobile blackberry bold 9700 from a friend and after i unlocked it to use it with at&t, the applications like facebook and twitter wont work. it says that the bb internet service and the bb enterprise server are NOT connected. how do i get them to connect so i can use the apps?

A. T Mobile has had many problems with their [phones and network since they found out that they are merging with ATT. I know first hand. Since they know that this merger will go through T Mobile just stop caring. Their goal is to sell as many phones as possible to lock you into a contract.
T Mobile has spent millions in legal fees because their employees continue to give out their customer's ssn and pass code. I have the case number for this. I hope that this helps as a great deal of research has gone into this.

What are the possible advantages and disadvantages of the new Blackberry Torch?
Q. What are the possible advantages and disadvantages of the new Blackberry Torch?Im thinking of buying one.

A. I switched phones with my friend for a day, I have the blackberry bold 9700 and she has the torch, and I actually really liked hers! The only things that were not very impressive to me were the keypad, which was very small, and I made lots of mistakes on it, and the fact that when it slides out, it is really tall, and since the touchscreen part is very heavy, it tends to want to fall forwards, making it harder to type on the keypad. But other than that, the function is great, it's really speedy, lots of fun, and you can type in landscape on the touch screen or t9, or change t9 to a smaller complete screenpad. I think it's great, but if you need the keypad for business all the time, I must say I wouldn't suggest it.

How to transfer data from an old blackberry to a new blackberry?

Also I want to erase all of his data so it would be like a new one.

2-Open the Blackberry Desktop Software on your computer (Double click it)
3-Wait till the Desktop software detects your blackberry
4-Click on "Device"

I remember in the past I didn't know this how to do this and I used to spend a looooooooooong time transferring all of the info from my old phone to my new one. It Sucked!

How common are Blackberry software problems?
Q. As of Thursday my Blackberry started having software problems. Basically my screen turns white and it will not do anything. I called Sprint and they told me that this is a "fatal software error" and they are going to be sending me a replacement phone. How common are these errors and are there any ways to prevent these errors?

A. Software problems are not all that common, but working in the wireless industry I see them alot.

The best ways to avoid having to get replacements is to regularly back up your device using the Blackberry Desktop Manager. If you start having issues, you can just do a restore to your latest back up.

The "fatal software error", or "white screen of death" usually happens when your phone is plugged into the computer, and it is unplugged/disconnected before the computer is ready. The desktop manager will always give a warning saying "don't unplug your device". There are other causes for that, but most have to do with a defective device or a defective version of handheld softare.

Regular software problems can easily be fixed by reinstalling the latest handheld software on the phone. Sprint should be able to walk you through it, but it is pretty basic if you have the desktop manager and download the handheld software from blackberry.com.

How to turn on the blackberry internet service and blackberry enterprise server?
Q. I bought a t-mobile blackberry bold 9700 from a friend and after i unlocked it to use it with at&t, the applications like facebook and twitter wont work. it says that the bb internet service and the bb enterprise server are NOT connected. how do i get them to connect so i can use the apps?

A. T Mobile has had many problems with their [phones and network since they found out that they are merging with ATT. I know first hand. Since they know that this merger will go through T Mobile just stop caring. Their goal is to sell as many phones as possible to lock you into a contract.
T Mobile has spent millions in legal fees because their employees continue to give out their customer's ssn and pass code. I have the case number for this. I hope that this helps as a great deal of research has gone into this.

What month will the BlackBerry Thunder be released?

Q. An actual month please? I read every where it's gonna be released Q(then a number). I don't quite understand that.

Thank you so much for any help!

A. According to The Boy Genius Report, (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/05/13/blackberry-thunder-the-touchscreen-blackberry-weve-all-been-waiting-for/ ) the Blackberry Thunder, now called the Blackberry 9500, will launch in Q3 of this year. That means it will launch in the third quarter - July, August, or September (probably September).

The Boy Genius also reports that this touchscreen Blackberry device will launch as a worldwide lifetime exclusive on Verizon and Vodafone.

Does anybody have any info on the Blackberry Thunder im starting to see surface online?
Q. Im starting to see some information on a New blackberry coming out for Verizon Wireless called the Blackberry Thunder or whatever number it is. Im definatly gonna be interested in this. Does anybody have any info besides what i have found on a couple sites?? Thanks All

A. I was reading about that as well, but don't have any other solid information other than it is supposed to be a full touch screen device. That's all I really know at this point. It will probably come with the newest 4.6 operating system (like the soon-to-be released BlackBerry Bold). It will also probably (just my guess) have a lot of the same hardware specifications of the Bold (like processor speed, memory, etc).

What is the retail price for the blackberry thunder going to be?
Q.

A. Hi

It has not yet publicly been announce yet. All the pictures that you see is not officially announce. Trust me. I know and have good re-sources.

How can I get the new blackberry storm at the 2yr contract price?

Q. I have verizon and I got the blackberry curve 4 months ago. I have had so many problems with the phone that I've had it replaced 3 times already. I am having problems with my 4th one, and I am fed up and don't want a new curve. I want the new storm with the new system, but I don't want to pay for the full price. Is there any way I get the 2yr contract price, even though I just started a new contract a few months ago?

A. You can always make deals with carriers and Verizon is no exception. Just go into the negotiation knowing that is what you want. I can't imagine Verizon not wanting you to sign on for 2 years, that's what every carrier wants, but you may have to pay a cancellation fee on the phone. But everything is negotiable. Carriers take hit on the handsets, even when they are not free. They have to subzidize them by having customers sign on for long periods and putting in the cancellation fee. Ask if you could sign a 3 year contract if you can get out of your original one. That might do it. Be creative. You could try this site for more information.

What is the best way to use my new blackberry curve for my outlook emails?
Q. I get about 600-700 emails per day but 40-60% gets filtered into spam or specific folder because of a rule. With the blackberry they all appear in the phone but i don't want to see them all. I only want to see what is in my outlook in-box on my phone. Please give me some suggestions on how to manage this mess. thanks allot.

A. At the time, Blackberry pulls your email, but doesn't read the difference between spam and an email you actually want to read.

How do you get sms text messaging on your new blackberry curve that you got in the mail?
Q. I just got a blackberry curve 8530, and its not letting me send messages, what do I do?

A. I think you should consult the instruction manual, send it back in the mail to the person who mailed it to you and tell them it doesn't work and ask for a refund, or play around with it.

Why is an iPhone more expensive than even a Blackberry Bold despite the latter being more business-oriented?

Q. Also, which is realistically more practical, a Blackberry Smartphone or a Nokia Smartphone? Some of the advantages of the latter appear to be some providers offer unlimited push email for a quarter of the price of the former and cheaper 3G units. What is Blackberry's advantage?
For personal use?

A. It is obvious that thee BlackBerry Bold 9700 or 9650 are the more realistically practical choices for the enterprise due to BES. Yes, it is more expensive. If you'd like a cheaper plan on the company's side, consider BES Express. Keep in mind that BIS is also very useful for your personal email, wireless desktop synch or exchange but BES is always the government, hospital or enterprise choice. Also, the BlackBerry can even serve as your PBX when away from the office and you can share your notes and information wirelessly. BlackBerry Messenger is also rated faster than SMS in times of emergencies. The 9700 on 3G will allow you to simultaneously send and receive data whilst engaged on a call so this is particularly useful for those who need to stay on long conversations whilst multitasking with sending and receiving email, browsing the web for stock quotes, receiving new calendar data from the secretary about a new meeting or a meeting that has been moved up or cancelled, and even use facebook, twitter, linkedin or whatever social network.
The BlackBerry offers uncompromised instant and secure wireless delivery of email, pages, IM, valuable company information, contacts, notes, tasks and calendar information that can either be administered by your IT department or by yourself through the BIS site/email setup icon.

How do I transfer my video s from my blackberry bold 9900 to my macbook pro?
Q. My phone's memory is full and I want to put it on my laptop. I downloaded Blackberry Media software from the blackberry website but I can only find how to stuff on my phone.

A. Connect hte phone to the computer and then, transfer the videos to there....

Good luck!

is there a easy way to transfer contacts from blackberry bold to droid on different companies?
Q. I have a blackberry bold 9700 for t-mobile, and i want to transfer all my contacts to a new droid i will be getting sometime in thsi week. Is there a easier way to transfer my contacts other than having to write them down? Because i know for same companies, you can transfer contacts at a local t-mobile or verizon phone.

A. From your Bold's browser, go to "http://m.google.com" (take out the default www). Download the application Google Sync. This will allow you to sync not only your contacts, but your messages and your calendar to your gmail account. Once you get your droid - simply put in your gmail on the setup screen and you should see all your information sync to your phone.

What is better the blackberry curve or the blackberry tour from us cellular?

Q. Im going to be getting a new phone from us cellular and its going to be a blackberry. So I was wondering which blackberry is better overall the curve or the tour.

A. I would absolutely go with the Curve over the Tour. The Tour seems like it was rushed and there are quite a few problems with it.

The Curve is a much more stable device.

How can have the blackberry 9700 user interface on a different BLACKBERRY?
Q. I have the blackberry 8330 from boost mobile. I just don't like the UI on the 8330. So can any of you tech savvy people around here help me. So my question is can it be done and how.
Thanks.

A. There is no way you can have an exact replica of the Blackberry 9700 user interface on your Blackberry 8330.

What you can first do is upgrade the operating system on your 8330 and see if you are satisfied with the interface. If you would like to take an extra plunge into beta operating systems which tend to yield better performance and occasionally some extra goodies please feel free to do so at your own discretion but you may want to review your contract with Boost Mobile just in case. And if you would like to take an even deeper plunge go for hybrids that are created by putting different aspects of different operating systems build by 3rd party developers. Go to crackberry.com for more information on betas and hybrids along with other goodies for your blackberry.

Another option is to download a theme for your Blackberry from an app store or through an over-the-air download link.

How to get blackberry contacts off computer without a phone?
Q. I had my blackberry pearl stolen and replaced it with a iphone. How do i get my saved contacts off the pc onto the iphone? I don't have it saved in Outlook so that is not an option.

A. If you synced with Desktop manager try looking for the back up file (you did backup, right?) It is an .ipd file. There are tools on the Net to make it work with iPhone.

Good luck. - FYI, I would use Outlook in the future, or something similar like Open Office if you're Mac.

My BlackBerry won't connect to the internet, receive emails and BlackBerry Messenger does not work?

Q. I recently changed the sim card of my BlackBerry 8520 from an 02 sim to a giffgaff one. Since then, the phone has been unable to connect to the internet or use any data. The phone is also permanently stuck on 'gprs' mode and will not connect to a 3g network. I am also unable to log in to my BlackBerry ID. I would appreciate opinions on this matter, thank you!

A. Things to do (in my opinion):
1. Try to put the Oâ SIM card back in your BlackBerry device and check whether it's now able to connect to the internet and you are able to use all the BlackBerry service (BBM, Log in to BlackBerry ID, etc) like before » Please make sure that both your Oâ and GiffGaff are registered to the BlackBerry Internet Service.

If the problem persists...

2. Try to contact the GiffGaff provider's Customer Service and ask them for help.

If the problem stay still...

3. Try to check whether your BlackBerry device is locked by a provider or not. You can ask about this to the place where you bought your BlackBerry device.
(A locked-by-a-single-provider BlackBerry device usually sold as one in a bundling -BlackBerry handset with a SIM card already- and sometimes there's a provider brand logo stamped on the BlackBerry device)

If the problem still persist (again)...

4. Try to check whether your BlackBerry device got an error/bug(s) in its device software.
For this one, you need to check your BlackBerry device software version by typing: "myver" (without the quotation mark) anywhere on your BlackBerry device, then check on the internet, what's the latest version of the BlackBerry 8520 device software. If your device software is not up to date, you may need to upgrade your BlackBerry device software (newer device software usually contains a lot of bug and error fixes, etc).

Hope one of the solutions there help you solve the problem.

does my blackberry storm 9350 work in Philippines?
Q. I have a Blackberry storm 9350 which has a Verizon contract. I am planning to go to Philippines for a vacation. Can i use my Blackberry? If so, how much its going to cost me to have it work on?

A. No because verizon wirless's roaming service is CDMA (Which covers only North America and some other parts of the world). Meanwhile, T-Mobile is GSM Which will work internationally but your bill will go up lol. I suggest you just use a telephone/landline and use phone cards with it. OR you can buy a cheap prepaid T-Mobile phone, but your minutes' rates will be higher.

Oh and I am from the Philippines, have fun there if you end up going!

What Blackberry Device manager is the right one to download for my blackberry storm?

Q. There is like 20 different ones some have media support some have multilingual support which one is the best for someone who wants to use just to manage it? I am just a consumer not bussiness enterprise please if you know can you tell me?

A. I wouldn't download the one with the media manager. It's Roxio and it locks my computer up everytime. It's so slow anyway. So if you want to sync music, use windows media player like you would with an mp3 player. But back to the Device Manager. I recommend 4.7, English, no media support. Link here:
