Hi,

I bought this BB Bold 9700 from a friend about six months ago. Although, all other features including WIFI, voica calls and text messages are working fine, I am not able to use the data services although I have taken a data plan from Vodafone in Delhi (India).

As per Vodafone, my handset is blocked for use by Blackberry company itself.

Can you please tell me what should I do ?

When I type MEPD ... Everything comes as disabled. That means the IMEI and PIN are unlocked for any career ?

I love this phone and don't want to do away with this. Please help me with a solution so that I can use data services on this ?

Not much you can do other than buy a new phone.

No, it means the IMEI is unlocked to use on any network for voice and sms.

It would appear the PIN of the device is blocked by Blackberry and you cannot use data services.

Most likely the device was reported stolen and is now blacklisted. Nothing for it really. It's a paperweight. Or a doorstop. :(

The key words are "bought it from a friend". Ask where they got it.
