I bought a BB 8320 Titanium off a guy here on BBForums (won't name names, for privacy) that had the phone for about a week with T-Mobile before canceling his account. He had a data plan during that week, but does not recall registering it on T-Mobile's BIS.
Being on AT&T, I have already unlocked the phone and went to register it on AT&T's BIS website. When I do this, I get an error message saying that the BB is already registered with a different service provider. Well, frell....
I call T-Mobile and ask them to release the phone. They tell me that when the guy canceled his account, it closed his BIS account, too, and that maybe AT&T can help me. So I chat with AT&T and they tell me that they cannot access another carrier's information (they did try, though) and that T-Mobile should know that.
I call T-Mobile to see if they can at least tell if the PIN and IMEI are still registered with them, but they can't do that without pulling up an active T-Mobile account. And they can't pull up the original account because, dun dun dunnnn....it's canceled!
Any ideas?
P.S. I forgot to mention that I have not (yet) setup a BB data plan for the phone.
