Okay so I've recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8520.
My contract plan is the £25 Dolphin on Orange. This includes 300 mins, unlimited texts & unlimited internet.
My internet, BBM, App world, Facebook etc. will not work. I get the error message "This is a Wi-Fi service. Please ensure your device has an active Wi-Fi connection and try again." how can this be fixed?
I contacted Phones4u and they told me to contact Orange - I don't see why though since my contract is with Phones4u?
Anyway, any help will be much appreciated!

Answer:

Cause your carrier is orange.
And it might need to be activated yet to use the BIS service.
Or it is still pending..
So yep that's why you need to contact them, if you're not sure about it.
You will get a message "your blackberry has been registered with the wireless network" if the BIS is active

my brother gave me his phone after he bought it off his friend but it is locked to orange and i am really confused what to do

Answer:

You will need to purchase a unlock code in order to use your 8520 on your carrier

Hi All,

I just got myself a new Blackberry Torch (AT&T) from Best Buy. Since I do not live here, I would like to unlock the phone so I am able to use it back in my home country. I had a couple of questions:

1. Will the 3G work while I am back in Spain? My carrier there is Orange. Even if 3G doesn't work, the internet can work under GSM / WiFi, correct?


2. Can someone help me with all the steps required to unlock the phone. Do I need to have any SIM card inside the phone to unlock it? Does it have to be AT&T? What is exactly the process? I've seen many websites that sell you codes for $5 or so, but not sure what I need to do to actually unlock the phone and have it work in Spain.

Many thanks in advance!

Answer:

To unlock:

OPTIONS > DEVICE > ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS > SIM CARD

Then type:

MEPD

You will see the lock status. Only the second one should be active (Network).

Type:

MEP2

Enter code.

Done.
