You can't just take a Blackberry, put a SIM in it and expect it to work with all functionality. While it will work for voice, you need to get your line enabled for Blackberry data by your phone service provider. The provider will probably want the PIN of the device as well, and can then toggle it from BES to BIS for you.
If you don't want to involve your service provider then you are out of luck. Blackberry devices only work for data with the cooperation of the service provider (unlike a Windows Mobile device, Nokia etc), and the payment of an additional fee in most cases.

I am able to use voice but not data. The set is set for BES while I need to activate it for BIS. Anybody's experienced this before and found a way out? I am in Kenya.
