BB Storm :: Verizon Unlocked Storm 2 Does NOT Work On Vodafone?
Feb 12, 2010
I purchased an unlocked BB Storm 2 (original Verizon USA) to use in India. It can only receive SMS on Vodafone India network. No incoming-outgoing call. It works fine on Airtel, Idea etc in India. Vodafone India blames the phone and the phone vendor (in USA) blames the network. I used another Vodafone SIM also - did not work.
I recently bought a verizon bb storm 9530, bought the code to unlocked and be able to use it with Tmobile, but I accidentally enter the wrong code 10 time and now I can not unlock to use it with tmobile at all.... is it true that the phone can not be unlock with any provider anymore since I locked it, it can be use with verizon, but that is not the provider.
I have Verizon 9550 Storm 2. Before the unlocking the 3G and WiFi both have worked fine ! After the unlocking the Internet on my phone did stop work ! The WiFi connection pass fine but when I start the browser and try to open some site there is appear the message:
i have a unlocked blackberry storm for tmobile i can send and recieve texts and the internet works fine, however when i try to call it says no channel/circuit avaliable. i went to india for a few weeks and calling worked just fine there is there any way to fix this problem?
I'm having is when I go to send the service books to activate email I keep getting update failed I tried the diagnostic test and manually sending the books. I was wondering if I can replace the verizon email service books with att's books also if that is possible what books will I look for in crackutil any help is appreciated
I have read a bunch of posts about how to unlock an active Storm on the Verizon network for use with any GSM carrier.What I haven't found is anyone who has asked or said anything about unlocking a Verizon phone which is no longer active on the Verizon network.I made the mistake of moving to ATT for some company "discounts" but have been greatly disappointed with their network and their so called "discounts".Is it possible to unlock a Verizon Storm even if it isn't active on the network?I had the number moved to ATT and everything.
I'm having problem with my storm phone ever since it was dropped in water. I left it to dry for a week. Since then I replaced my battery and the phone came on with the clock and then the screen showed up. and could not do anything. Then the screen went black. Now when I try to recharge it only a green light appears and nothing else. Did I kill my battery and is the phone no longer good or it's just my screen and i can replace it.
My brother's friend going to sell his unlocked Storm 2 that he bought from AT&T, will it work on Verizon ? It's unlocked, shouldn't be a problem, right ?
but yet even Googling this yields no real answers to the question--just conjecture by fake "news" sites that regurgitate facts from Endgadget. If the iPhone 4S truly works with either/or; why can you not use it with either/or?
I'm unable to get my Verizon emails on my Blackberry Storm since Saturday. I got a message from Blackberry saying tht "This email is not currently accessible..
My Storm 1 crashed Sunday night with message on screen stating 'Reload Softwares 552'. I called Verizon Tech Support and they just ended up giving me a brand new Storm 2 for free! All I had to do was re-sign my contract for another two years. Gonna miss my Storm 1 but the Storm 2 is sweet! Just got it today. Anyone wanting to upgrade, try using that excuse.
I got a text from 5502 that is listed as an advertisement but the message says "VZW Content - Stay tuned for a hot new offer coming to your Storm! Reply STOP to opt out".
I just unlock the BB Storm 2 9550 and I can't see the MMS meaning that I can't send or receive picture messaging? Can anyone help me out please??? I have service with t-mobile by the way.
My wife and I both have Storm2s which we are obviously running on Verizon Wireless.We have the same official operating system (.713) and each have some apps. I tend to have more apps so she actually has a little bit more memory.
Lately she's been complaining that her phone has been running really slow loading up websites. I did a little side-by-side test with our blackberries.
I did the same search on the google mobile app (for Adam Sandler) and clicked on the wikipedia link at the exact same time. Mine launched the browser, loaded the wiki page and was completely done before her browser even stopped showing the word "blackberry".
She also consistently has a lower quality signal (by using the Quick Launch "Device Info" option I can easily see signal strength on both of our phones).So, my question is, what is causing her blackberry to have a lower quality signal than mine when we are in the same exact location, on the same network, running the same O.S., etc.?
Trying to get My Contacts out of my Storm to Verizon Backup Assistance THRU THE COMPUTER(not over the airwaves). Anyone successful in doing this?
I can access the phone but contacts do not come up in BROWSE feature of Backup assist. Also it can't seem to pull them in thru a BB Manager recent back up.
Screen is cracked and I can't call *228 to (re)activate the phone to do Back up Assist thru the phone the normal way.
I bought two unlocked BB Storms from two diffrent places. Neither one of them will turn on. I bought new batteries and still they will not come on. I can not return these phones and I need them please can anyone tell me what might be wrong.
I got recently Verizon BB Storm 9530 and I unlocked it. I have my unlocked BB Storm 9530. But I am trying to connect to my storm browser it says some error. It says I shuld contact to my service provider or something like that so I cant use network on my storm.I contaced my service provider in Estonia also (Tele2 Estonia) and they said they can't do nothing because they dont have experiences with Blackberry. So I dont know what I should do to use network on my phone?Also my browser is lost in menu.. only in "switch application" mode I can use browser but it doesnt work.
Need to replace my wife's Storm 2 which died last week. Don't want to go to a new device as she loses her current unlimited data plan if she switches to an HSPA device, and she was ok with her Storm 2 before.
OK with a good used one, though I know she'd prefer new. Telus doesn't sell them any more, and they're $200+ on eBay - that was a shock, considering I can get a new 9860 for $600!
Any suggestions on other sage places to buy, and what price I can expect? We're in Vancouver so Canadian shipping is mandatory, and she'd like a replacement ASAP so a Vancouver purchase would be ideal.
Just bought an unlocked blackberry storm. My service sim card is cincinnati bell. My sim card offers text, phone, email and internet. The phone works with texting and phone calls recieved and sent. I have no internet or email. Not even a browser icon can be found on the phone.
I have a vodafone 9520 that I want to unlock to use in Canada.It's asking me for a MEP network code.Can I re-load the OS and have it complerely unlocked?I'm using a mac and have the blackberry desktop software.
I own an unlocked BB Storm (9530) and have been unable to send and receive MMS messages. Its now on AT&Ts Network and I talked to them about it they made it out to be that I needed a data plan. So they signed me up and I thought all was fixed. But I soon realized that was not the case. I cant even select to compose MMS text. I now have unlimited messaging and am on their BB data plan.
I have looked up on a lot of forums on what could be the problem and have d/l the service books and registered the HRTs and did a battery pull without any luck. I have noticed that I do not the MMS service books (MMS Client and MMS Transport). I was curious as to why I don't have them and if I could get them. Also during my last update (V5.0.0.328 Platform 4.2.0.128) I noticed I lost my browser icon. Was that supposed to happen or did I mess something up?
Ok I have a Verizon storm 9530 that's been unlocked. My service provider is T-mobile. I've talked to T-mobile and was able to get my email going. I've just a problem connecting to the internet. Things I've done: I've registered my phone by going to options > host route > and registering Did a soft reset Had the T-mobile service books sent to my phone But my edge goes from upper case to lower case when I search the internet I don't have an updated OS..I think I'm working with 4.1 I do have the blackberry software on my PC..So what do I do..
