Hi, I'm new to the group and am looking for some help with a Blackberry 7280. I picked this one up and it's branded for Cingular, which is my current cell phone provider. I've used the 7100 and 7520 at work on different networks and liked them so I got a second hand one for myself
I'd like to get some feedback on provisioning service from Cingular before I talk to a sales droid
Can I order just voice and instant message service through Cingular for the BB 7280? I figure that will cost around $60 a month and I can't afford the extra $50 a month for data service at the moment but would like to use text messaging as well as the calendar and contacts features in the BB.
My BB 7280 came with a SIM card, is there any chance I can get Cingular to reactivate it or will I have to buy a new one? The previous owner says it's been out of service for about two months and when I fire up the 7280 I get a "SIM card error" message, no surprise
From what I've read the SIM card in my Cingular Nokia handset won't work in the BB, although it would be great if I could just swap my Nokia SIM in and get voice service, does anyone know if that would work (I'd rather not blow up my working phone to try it...)
Sorry for the long post and thanks for any help the group can provide,
Dave Hennen
