I had to do an wipe and reload of my OS on my 7290. Last week, when I did this, I had to call my provider to have the service books pushed to me because the browser icons did not appear. In fact the service provider said that I "fell off" BIS provisioning and had to re-enable my provisioning in the BIS.

Today, same thing, did a wipe and the browser icons did not appear. Called the provider and asked the agent to resend the service books. This time, he said that my phone number was already provisioned for BIS Prosumer service, which I know means that I'm BIS provisioned. He asked me to register at the host routing table (did that) and still nothing. He's manually trying to send me the service books and still nothing.

So, the agent asks me to go to a store to do a SIM swap, which I'll gladly do later today.

But, my question is whether or not RIM has some feature that if a handset doesn't check into the Blackberry network after a few days, theservice books don't get resent on re-registration. I use the SIM in another smartphone device as well and that other device uses the carrier's WAP APN, not Blackberry.net. After a few days, I'll put the SIM into the Blackberry and then have this problem.

Thanks!

Nope you can actually resend by going to your carrier site and choosing option to resend the service books. The first situation was a carrier issue, the second was simply not getting the service books. Normally the host routing table fixes this but not always. Sometimes you do have to resend them.

Funny enough, the agent tried to resend the service books but the device couldn't receive it.

I have my 8700c on a BES and sent a PIN message to the other berry with success.

Delete all service books on the device (except BES books) and then do a battery pull. Then you try to resend them from the BIS site.

Also make sure your BES allows other messaging and it isn't blocked by the IT policy.

The saga continues.

I went to the AT&T store to do the SIM swap. After the swap, the BB had no data services whatsoever. I had the retail rep pull up my account and saw that I had some strange rate plan.

I'm getting on the phone with advanced network services to resolve this. More to come when I get off the phone.

Thanks for the help in the meantime.

Ok - I just got off the phone with advanced network services. It seems that a "new account" was set up when the SIM was swapped. I got reprovisioned and all looks good (for now). I'll have to wait until I get home to see what feature codes are on the account .

I'm having very similar issues with T-Mobile, what do you recommend I do?

Got my SIM swapped at T-Mobile and all of my service books got pushed...


Weird!
