I recently purchased a Blackberry 8320 curve Emerald off Ebay.
It was locked to the network Orange and have recently unblocked it so I can put in my O2 sim card.
Now that everything works I have found out that I don't have any picture messaging, email or any internet on the BB.
I phoned up O2 and she said that BB are always on contract and thats why I haven't got the services. I then said it was an original Orange phone and she said that even if I were to get an Orange contract it wouldn't be guranteed that I would get the picture messaging and the internet as the the services still might be on Orange.
I'm at my wits end now.
It cannot be that the amount of people that by unblocked BB off Ebay cannot have picture messaging and the internet?????
That will explain why you're not able to access the browser or receive email. Your carrier will have to add that to your account. As for the cost, I am not sure. I am not familiar with O2 and their data plans. Your best bet would be to contact them and ask them about their BB Data rates, or check their website.
That is basically letting you know if you have data coverage or not. If it is in capital letters EDGE then you have data coverage, lowercase edge is no data coverage.
No Internet, Picture Messaging on BB 8320
