Hi ive been given a blackberry curve and its unlocked but its formatted on t-mobile. So can i change it over to vodafone? or is there not much point. It works fine but i cant set up emails due to needing a password? would i have to get that from my provider? Also is there a way i can master reset and start from scratch? thanks for any help you may have!!

I'm kinda new to these myself, but I think if you re-install the OS that will start you over, plus give you the newest OS version. Look at the thread at the top about newest OS versions.

Both of you - immediately - go to BlackBerry FAQ - BlackBerryFAQ for excellent information for new BlackBerry customers.

Jimmynewbb - welcome. Search on how to erase user data (Options / Security is a quick head start).

No need to reinstall the OS. And I recommend getting to know the device before you try to fix something that might not be broken

You need to get a BB data plan added to your account. Was this device on BES before? That might be the reason for the password.

I recommend that you both read our FAQ. There is one article near the end about buying a used BB from eBay. Make sure you read that one even if you didn't acquire it from eBay. It has a lot of good info on problems you might find with a used BB.

And if you have a problem, the first event in troubleshooting is to do a battery pull. The second is look at the FAQ and the third is to search on your particular error.

Lucky you to be GIVEN an 8900 lol. Welcome to BB.
