Hey guys,
Im trying to use an unlocked tmobile 8900 on att. I cannot get it to register to the network. I called att and they said the phone is currently in use and i must call tmobile and have them delete it from their system. I called tmobile and they said there is nothing to delete and that they have no associations with the phone. I have added the apn settings for att and added the service books manually, but it still wont catch internet and will not allow me to register with the network.

Please help.

Thank you.

Thats to verify it is unlocked. He can make calls on tmobile so we already know its unlocked....

if you set the apn in the options to (i forget att's apn) and it still wont register you need to call tmobile and make sure it is not attatched to a BIS for any account.

If my blackberry is blocked.Isit recommendable calling tmob 2 unblock it?

[NJBlackBerry]

What does blocked mean? Reported stolen?

[ReissBlackStar]

No reported lost but i found it

[NJBlackBerry]

Since you called T-Mobile to report it lost, you should call T-Mobile to report it unlost. That's about all you can try.

[ReissBlackStar]

Ok Thank u

[ReissBlackStar]

Oh yeah, i didnt report it lost so what should i do lol, Still call tmob?

[NJBlackBerry]

Let's start at the beginning.
What problem are you trying to solve?

[ReissBlackStar]

Basically, Ive found a bb 8900 on the bus. Its been reported lost so its been locked, ive unlocked it. But i cant recieve or make calls. So i figuared it has been blocked. Im asking if whether me phoning up tmob could unblock the phone so i can call or text?.

[NJBlackBerry]

Oh - this is easy.
RETURN IT TO THE OWNER OR THE MOBILE PHONE COMPANY.
That's what you should do.

[ReissBlackStar]

I want to keep it, i dont no who the owner is either. Could i call tmob to unblock it?

[jsconyers]

To quote NJBB in many other threads...

Wow.

[NJBlackBerry]

Indeed.

Please stop asking how you can illegally use the device. Turn it in to the police station and walk away (avoid the bus this time).
