RIM :: Replacement Storm 2 Unlocked Or Telus?
Oct 30, 2011
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.

last month, I inherited an LG-C900B (BELL) as my buddy had upgraded to an HTC TITAN Windows Phone. As I was frustrated with my force closing, stuck on Android 2.2, HTC Desire I decided to give WP a chance.
We unlocked the SIM from my TELUS HTC Desire and everything worked great. MMS, text, data, wifi, etc. Last week, I suddenly lost the ability to receive MMS messages from outside of the TELUS network. After a few days of troubleshooting and working with TELUS support, I'm at a loss.
I've done the following:
1. Reset my phone.
2. Downloaded the LG Network App to setup all my APN, Proxy IP, and MMSC settings automatically. (I did this last month when I was setting up my phone as well).
3. Upgraded my phone to the latest version available 7.10.8773.98.
I've also gained access to the MFG app to check my config.xml and to see what my network profile showed.
Current network profile: TLS_CA_302_220_ENG.xml
AlwaysON options: ON
Proxy enable options: OFF
Auto update options: ON
All of the following values are hard coded into the config.xml file after running the LG Network Setup App for TELUS 302-220.
APN: sp . telus . com
Proxy: 74.49.0.19
Port:80
MMSC: (aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc)
Has something changed? Funny when I go to aliasredirect.net t it comes up with a place holder page. Not sure if that's related or not.

I have 2 cell phones; one on Telus contract, and a V3xx unlocked on Rogers Pay as You Go. I would like to be able to share a Telus plan, but Telus says the V3xx will not run on their 3G network. I installed a Telus SIM card, and it cannot find a network. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Motorola to work with a Telus SIM card?

I just bought an unlocked Telus Milestone. I'm still getting used to the phone but so far i'm really liking it. But for some reason it's not connecting to data. Did I miss something in settings?

I have an iPhone 4S that was recently unlocked by AT&T. Unfortunately, it's developed an issue where all the radios cut out if I talk on the phone for more than a few minutes. Assuming I can get this replaced by Apple, would my unlock carry over to the new phone? It was hard enough getting AT&T to unlock this phone, I'm not sure if theyd do it if they can't verify the IMEI was the same one that I purchased.
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5, 64GB AT&T model, authorized unlock

I own an unlocked Storm 2 on Vodafone and it's having the same screen issues described by VZW owners. I am not a Vodafone or Verizon customer. I'm actually on AT&T. VZW is doing a replacement program as we are all aware.
My questions are as follows:
1) Is there any way I can have my S2 replaced under any sort of warranty?
2) If no to (1) what would I need to do about getting it fixed?

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.

Somebody wants to buy my iPhone 3G which is locked to Rogers. They need it to work with Telus (Canada).
So my first thought was, jailbreak and unlock. Well it appears that the person does not have a telus sim card and wants her original number with the phone.
Is this a no go? Is there anyway I can still get this iPhone 3G to work with Telus without a Telus sim?

There is some news flying around about a possible hardware replacement, or recall for storm 2's with the know dead and mulitple click issues.
bbleaks.com/2010/03/carriers-getting-new-screen-improved.html
Its just for verizon, but I am wondering if anyone else has heard about this?, Also I am wanting to find out if this will be strictly through the carrier, becuase I have a unlocked vodafone I use in canada, hopefully I can go direct to RIM.

So my call and blackberry LED was going. They would dim and and black out when i help down the "back" button. Essentially breaking a circuit. Anyways, I ordered a replacement since I was an original owner and it was under warranty. They said I'd have a new 9530 by today, monday. So fedex came around noon and to my surprise they sent me a 9630. So I have a new tour now! Just thought I'd share for anyone else in a similar situation. Mistake? probably, but who cares!

Just over a week ago my Storm 1 began giving me problems. Basically died. Started to do an insurance claim but went to the store first. They said, we'll just do an insurance replacement overnight. Ok, received the replacement the next day. Activated it with no problems, went to charge it and it would not charge. (This was the old battery from the first phone since one was not sent with the replacement.) Plugged into USB on computer, went haywire. Took it back to store where they took an hour to reload the software. Took phone back home, did the exact same thing. I went back to the store, where they gave me a new charger. Went back home, then 2 days ago, the battery will not charge at all. Went back to Verizon, ended up having to buy a new battery. Charged it fully.
Clarification: It was at 30% charge when I left the store with the new battery. Charged at work during the day up to about 75%. When I got home I put it on the home charger for at least 4 hours. It never got above 85% full. This morning down to 70%, and now after charging for 2.5 hours, still won't go over 70% charged. What the heck! All I want is a phone that works! What can I do at this point? After replacing phone, charger AND battery! Heck, I'd be happy to just get another phone. Like maybe an 8530. I wonder if that's possible or would I have to get another Storm 1? What should I do at this point? Call CS? Go back to store?

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.

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?
