Hello, I purchased a blackberry curve 8530 from walmart recently. Today I activated it, and there is some strange discrepancy where the website says it is activated but the phone says 'requires activation'.

Basically, the way i activated it was by entering the MEID number on virgin mobiles website.

I took the phone to walmart and had one of the phone specialists talk to a virgin mobile agent. They said I should receive a text message within the hour telling me my phone is now active and my service has begun. They apparently had to start it over at that moment.

That was about 2 hours ago. I really need my phone on. I need it for important college related things.

Is there something I have to do with the phone itself that I have overlooked?

Any information will be much appreciated. I really want this phone on to where I can use it. Thank you.

Does Virgin provide BB support and have the Blackberry dataplan? You probably need to call Virgin as opposed to got to Wal-Mart, since Virgin supplies the service.

I went to walmart and the person who sold me the phone talked to virgin themselves as indicated in my post.

And what do you mean does virgin provide BB support and have the blackberry dataplan?

I am not sure I would be here with this question if they didn't.

By the way, if you're referring to the dataplan they use to charge 10$ for, which is blackberries plan, they made it free a couple of months ago.
