Please Help: "activation Request....."
 

Hi people...

Having a little bit of trouble here...
I have a Blackberry 8520 and have just had the phone unlocked...

The Blackberry was on Orange... and now I am on 3...

I'm having problems setting up my e-mail...
and also signing in to sites such as Windows Live Messenger...

I get messages such as 'Activation Request Failed'...

And...

'Activation request failed, a service connection is unavailable'...

I must point out that I had only today, done a Blackberry wipe...
All of the e-mail was set up... and the likes of Windows Live Messenger was also set up.

Please could someone assist me.

Many Thanks

Michael

Do you have a blackberry data plan. (Not generic data plan.)

As far as I am aware, I do have one...
I can access the Internet ok... I have just downloaded Blackberry Messenger, and awaiting whilst it re-boots...

I have had this all up untill today... when I wiped the handset...

Could it be that because I have changed carriers... there may be some technical difficulties?

Battery pull and resend service books

Please can you tell me how to resend service books?

Please?

If it worked fine on the old carriers, you still must be sure you have a blackberry data plan on the new carrier.

OK... Now that is something that I very simply over-looked...
How would one go about getting a data-plan?

And is it a 'Blackberry Data Plan'?

You need to call your cell carrier and have them activate the BB on your account. They should add a BB data plan and send the proper service books.

And please have some patience between your posts. You waited just 3 minutes before asking again for help. We are all volunteers here.

Sorry Dubdub... Do these Data Plan's cost anything?

Yes
