Hi,
This is sort of a 2 part Q&A.
1. For using GSM BIS service on on a CDMA World Edition Phones :
a. U need to unlock the GSM Part by code.
b. Note : some German/European versions are DATA BARRED, thus you will not be able to use GSM BIS Data On them-The way out for this is to
change the VSM To a Blank Blackberry Stock VSM,but this is something i would not recommend everyone to try, as it might brick your phone.
c. Insert GSM SIM with a Blackberry GSM activated BIS Plan (Rs.299/399/599/899 etc)
d. You should get Blackberry Registration & get EDGE in capitals. If you dont then follow below steps.
e. Go into network gettings and Put Data:ON, Roaming:On, Network:Automatic, Network Bearer: GSM ONLY, Data Type:2G, then go back. and put
network ON & OFF again & see if you get EDGE.
f. If still now EDGE, then press the calling button and type ##000000(for most verizon phones, For Sprint, you need to get yoru SPC code). You will
now enter a new menu, Delete & put your number in the 1st 2 lines. then press the Menu Key and click on save. Your phone will restart.
After this you should get EDGE & BIS service should work on your GSM Netwok. If still not, the phone is DATA Blocked for GSM.
2. I have a Blackberry 9650(Verizon), which i have registered the MEID on the relliance network, then i went to webworld & they associated my relaicne cdma number to my new MEID as well,i now get calls , but it rings, i pickup & the call cuts. Do i need to out the A-Key somewhere or do some other setting? I want to start using reliance CDMA BIS on this Veirzon phone now. My old BB9630 is almost dead now.
Someone , please help me on this. (BTW. i have my A-Key, but dont know where to enter it and what the the network settings in ##000000 menu.
