Can someone tell me what's going on with my device? Bought it on eBay, trying to disable the IT policy.

Tried the steps shown here:
Remove IT Policy - BlackBerryFAQ
Not only did I wipe the device, but repeated the procedure with completely re-installing the device OS, v4.1.0.377.

When I go to Options / Security / General Settings, there's nothing shown for IT policy at all. 5 lines only: Password, security timeout, lock handheld..., content protection, content compression.

In Options / Status, it initially shows the standard 6 lines of status info, but when I press "B U Y R", it shows: Data Usage: IT Policy Enabled, and Voice Usage: IT Policy Enabled.

Many thanks in advance for any insights...

I don't think the fix actually removes the "IT Policy" It just makes it so that you are no longer under any of the possible restrictions that a policy can invoke.

True ^^, you are actually replace the offending policy with a blank policy.

In my "new" 8700c it says: IT Policy Name: Default. No SIM, no service.
What may it mean?

It means you have an IT Policy on the device.

You said "new". Where did you purchase it from? Is it a corporate-provided device?

It means your device was previously connected to a BES server and an IT Policy was applied. No way to know what restrictions the policy may or may not apply.

Bought it on ebay. Very little used starting in Nov. 23007
Probably corporate use.
Thanks for your help.

Welcome. It was new "to you", but not new.

I had the same issue a few months ago when i purchased an 8310 off of craigslist. There was an IT Policy that was implemented on the device, but fortunately for me...there were no restrictions (not to my knowledge).
