Hi everyone

Can anyone help with this at all as virgin have been no help at all.

The phone was with T-Mobile UK but has been unlocked and works with Texts and Calls via Virgin however there is some odd looking T-mobile security Certificates that i havent removed yet as i was unsure about them.

Thanks for any help at all.

Welcome to BB Forums...

In order to do anything besides voice and texts, you must have a BlackBerry Data Plan on your account. Without a BlackBerry Data Plan you have no internet access at all.

Sorry...

so just so that i understand this i cannot use standard data like any other phone then? I can just get web for example (like a nokia or something)?

That is correct. You can not use standard data like any other phone. The carrier must support the BlackBerry and you must have a special BlackBerry Data Plan.

oh ok then well that means my blackberry will never go online then as my provider doesn't provide a blackberry service..
