did she reboot her phone, normally you have to reboot the phone for bis to show, a quick way is to switch the network off then on again- go to your connection manager and untick ''mobile network'' wait 5sec then click on it again enabling it. wait and see. if it still hasn't show the bb sign then call ur sp and check to see if was activated on their side.

therez a bb sign next to 3G sign and she has already received to take battery out etc for service books and stuff. will try the untick but when you say untick in the browser is where it shows that blackberry internet service: Not connected

just take the battery off and switch it back on

Ohk now its working, complained messed with on and off like a switch till it worked lol

spoke too soon. not connecting although now even under Blackberry INternet service: mobile connection is shown instead of no connection

give it a few tries on different sites mine also does that wen I try to open my pro bookmark, takes 4 attempts just to get in

Do i need to set up TCP IP options for BIS to work?

nope tcp settings are for non bis browsing aka normal charged browsing

d*mn, then i'm really stumped. The guy from voda said 24hrs and since its not my phone i'll give it 24hrs see what happens coz nothing else seems to work even messed around with the host routing table. despite the messages saying wireless working. net i snot working. funny enough vodaphone live is working lol

i got my phone the friday and only the monday evening was my bis activated - sumtimes it does take a tad longer than expected

also, my vodafone live goes off my data plan (or airtime if no data plan)

When i checked the airtime balance nothing was used up. Maybe all will be sorted out in time. Just that i wanted to mess around with it last night and test net. Out of curiosity, how long should a new BB battery be charged for? Some say it dnt matter others say 16hours. Anyone clued up?

i dunno whats the norm but i did the 16 hrs thing - especially coz i cudnt do anyfin wif it till dat monday eve

Ohk thanks maria.72 think its abit late for that now.

SO I have read and learnt alot from searching posts here. Only problem my lil sis is having is appworld not working, getting stuck on authentication sceen. Is there a pc app alternative to Blackberry Desktop manager? something that can install apps and themes that only have jad files. or convert .jad to .alx or even populate .cod files from .jad

The reason being i got alot of themes but very few had alx files so i installed those with Desktop manager, a few others only had .jad and .cod files so those i copied to mem card and installed from there but now most of em are just .jad which i had downloaded with PC. Also is there a battery app that shows u percentage left next to the icon or a decent battery meter. Otherwise nifty phone she got

the software I'm not too sure about phly, but as for the app, try meterberry you can get the trial version from bbsgame.mobi it comes with a keygen. it shows the percentage left, bat temp, discharge rate and time remaining.

I just realized that I cant install the themes that way. I have come across some handy apps though. Atleast now i know in future to do OTA downloads using phone otherwise i'll end up with hopeless .jad files thinking i got meaningful themes, will look up the app thanks

no prob.

check all the service books are active n then go to host routing table then click options n register.
