Hello.
I have a unlocked BB9700 bought from AT&T and got the unlocking code from AT&T as well.
Before i had a 9000 and when i traveled to another country all i had to do was insert the local carrier sim card and my phone was ready to use. Now, for some reason, with the 9700 whenever i go to another country and insert the local carrier sim card i have to actually go to the carrier's bb site and insert my IMEI and PIN numbers before i can start receiving data
Same thing happens when i come back to the US, i have to go on the AT&T's bb page and type in the same information.
This is a pain because i don't have email or internet right away, i have to wait until i get somewhere where i can use a PC to do the setup.
any idea of what changed?
