Hi all,
would need the help of the experts in here so for me to understand what is going on with my BB.
Was on a provider before and everything was smooth, quite pricey (Near 20Euros 1Mb) but everything worked fine.
Another provider came to offer Blackberry services (the same provider I used for Internet and landline at home) and I switched my Blackberry to them. They're quite new to the Blackberry business but everything seemed to work fine. I say "seemed" because the connection to the Blackberry infrastructure via Wifi doesn't work.
Checking my HRT against the one of a phone on another provider I realise I'm missing the Wifi [60] (or might be another number somewhere else) that a lot of people on the web talk about.
My question is: does anybody know if the practice of not provisioning this HRT is common? Do they do this to force people to use Data instead of Wifi or is it simply a bug in their provisioning template? Is there a way a part from hacking their system and adding it for me to have it? (I presume it's a no).
I ask you this because I called already several times and their support, although very friendly and trying to be helpfull, goes on "Ehm, ehm, well, you know, a technician told me it's something to do with the router IP..."
Think they don't actually know what's up. So here I am, checking if anyone of you knows something about possibly missing "Wifi HRT"...
I already tried doing a "Register" on the HRT entries, I tried the battery pull trick, I tried resending service books, I tried talking nicely to my phone, even put it close to the router so they became friends, did a couple of spins and walked on my hands. Didn't fix it.
Carriers can certainly choose whether or not to offer wifi to their customers. If that was the case here, I would think your carrier would have been more up front about it when you contacted them. Trusting in the good intentions of others, I would guess that they just haven't figured out how to fix your issue as yet.
No hack that I am aware of to restore it for you, unfortunately.
