Ok thanks, will followup with them. I was sort of lost why voice will work and not data if the device is unblocked, thought maybe Verizon have to do something on their end.

I know data works over there because I just had a user with a storm climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and he said he had great service even part way up the mountain. But that was an actual Verizon Serviced phone. -----Original Message----- From: Juma, Lumumba [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 8:40 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Unblocked Blackberry from Verizon not working for data I have activated voice on a different carrier and that works. The carrier has tried toggling the PIN from BES to BIS but from the device, it doesn't register. I have tried doing it online from the carrier site which shows that accepted but the device doesnt register either. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Butler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 4:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Unblocked Blackberry from Verizon not working for data 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.
