Hello All ,
Firstly id like to say this is a great forum with alot of great info. I am hoping someone with some experience and knowledge can help me out because im going crazy.
The company i work for purchased a large number of blackberry units from our Global IT Team. The Global Team has given me in Australia approximately 20 units to use. I have given a unit to a relative of mine & have done the following but no one can assist me & im going in circles.
* The Blackberry units maybe from any telco worldwide.
* I contacted blackberry in canada via phone & they advised me some of my handsets where registered to T-Mobile in Germany , when i asked to have them removed they advised me since i was not a RIM supplier they would charge me 39 Euro per handset to have them removed from there DB. I was advised if i went to a Australia telco , voda , optus , telstra that once i purchased a data plan for a blackberry device that it would just work. Also some other info i was told is the Telco in Australia can ask RIM to remove it from the db hence saving me 39 Euro since they have a support contract.
* When i reset the handheld & do a factory reset i get a msg to register my blackberry at the following link
BlackBerry Internet Service
I try my imei & pin to get this device is currently with another service provider.
* I went to the blackberry wiki which showed me how to see if your device is locked....when checking these unit they are unlocked.
The IT guys overseas have told me that due to them running GSM overseas they dont have this issue but becoz we in OZ r using CDMA this maybe a issue down under is this true ??
These devices will require to be used for personal email as i know if i was using a Enterprise server this would not be a issue...is that correct ??
Any help will be greatly appreciated as im hoping all these devices dont end up being door stoppers.
