Hi guys, my finance's mom bought a bb curve 9300 but the 3g does not want to activate, when I go to options mobile network and select the 3g option it instantly looses connection and if I select manual network it only finds GSM, GPRS and EDGE networks. How can I get the phone's 3g working. Running OS5 and network vodacom-SA

To what carrier is the device originally branded?

What 3G frequencies does your carrier use?

What 3G frequencies are on the device?
Go to Options > About and look at the fourth line to check the 3G bands.

It is a Vodacom phone and lists, 3g and wi-fi. But only connects through EDGE, when I select the 3g connection option I loos all connectivity

You need a BlackBerry data plan. Have you one?

Are you positive it is a BLACKBERRY Data Plan. That is NOT the same as a basic internet data plan.
