I live in the states and want to buy a friend of mine up in Toronto a blackberry so we can BBM. She is on Telus and her contract does not expire until summer. Right now she has some dinky phone neither android, BB or iOS, nor does she have a data plan. I'm looking to get her ANYTHING that will allow us to send messages to each other. I was thinking of a blackberry and give her a few months worth of money for data. What are my options as far as phones and costs. I will appreciate all your insight. Thank you.

Answer:

Buy used one  (have it unlocked) and mail it to her. then tell her to call her carrier to set up data. look at Telus' website to see what phones they offer, then scour ebay or the marketplace forums for a used phone.

I'm finally switching providers, going from Rogers to TELUS.

Today I will be contacting TELUS to make the port and keep the same number.

I have BlackBerry OS7, 9900.

If I switch sim cards, what will happen? would I have to redo all my e-mails etc, or would those be transfered smoothly since I have my BlackBerry ID now?

Anything else I may need to know about?

Thank you!

Answer:

it's good that it is unlocked for sure, but also, the pin is associated to the provider i am assuming, so you can hook up all your services with out any glitches with TELUS if you have rogers disassociate the pin

back in the day, like 1XEV cdma - when we had no sim - we'd still have to do some back end carrier provisioning stuff with the pins and bis email, or whatever

so ya, just get rogers to do whatever they gotta do with the pin on their end, and you should be golden when you hook it up at the big T

I have a telus blackberry. It was sent away to have the trackpad replaced and when I got it back the network is locked to rogers. It will not show another networks excepted for a SOS Rogers. Which means I can't use my phone. I have taken it back to telus few times and they keep telling me they can't do anything cause I did it. Is there anything I can do to fix this???

Thank you

Answer:

This sounds ridiculous. Unbelievable even. Who was it sent away to? To Telus? To RIM? You don't say. The people you pay are accountable to you. Contact whoever did this and demand that he fix it.

Hello, I got my BB torch today, its with bell and i unlocked it so it could work with telus, i put my card in, it says telus, i can text and call, but i can't use anything data related such as bbm or the browser, when i go to the settings for apn the bell information is filled in, how do i change that, because i know telus uses sp.telus.com and i want to put it in, but it doesnt save when i type it in..

Answer

Do you have a BB data plan with Telus? They now sell the Torch so it should just be a matter of sending service books off their BIS website but ensure you have an active BB data plan first.

My co-worker just finished out his contract with his Blackberry 9530 from Telus. He paid it out because he moved to an area with very poor Telus network coverage and he wasn't crazy about the storm anyway. He has given it to me. It's a 9530.

That's all done and over with and the phone is no longer active on the Telus network.

I know I can get an unlock code (read all the info on that) - what I am uncertain about is once the phone is unlocked - will Bell activate it to run on their network yes or no? I have a Blackberry now (Curve 8330/CDMA) which I'd like to replace with his Storm.

I've read conflicting reports on this and need to know if anyone has done that. I don't care if it's CDMA on Bell or SIM on Bell ... but since they are now offering both ... surely they'll activate it on one of those services? Which one is the better choice given the phone model and Bell's "new network" ?

Anyone who knows the details love to hear from you.

PS> I'm not afraid to reload software from Bell onto the unit to enable all the correct features etc. But I don't want a phone that 'sorta' works.

Answer:

Don't think they activate it via ESN (CDMA) but the GSM portion will do just fine. As long as you add a data plan for BlackBerry everything will work the same.
