Cannot seem to connect to 3G with 9700

I'm on Fido. Just got my Bold 9700 today. Got data and all that. My 9700 is T-Mobile Unlocked...

Any suggestions?

Can you browse? Have you released the PIN with T-Mobile? Did you create new service books?

I can browse. I've already registered my PIN with Fido. And I registered the service books. By creating, is that something different?

No.

Plug your BB to your Blackberry software, create a new security key (I think) and jiggle the mouse. I could be wrong however. It's been a long time since I've used BIS.

I read somewhere that the tmobile 9700 runs on a different frequency than the 3g for rogers/fido. So you can only use 2g on your unlocked 9700.

ya, TM 3G is not compatible with Fido/Rogers 3G.

AT&T 3G would work.

If you got it from a store, i dont know if they will take back a unlocked phone.

Good luck man, your phone would only be useful if WIND Mobile gets up and running.

Hey guys, I just had a question that's along the same line i suppose.

If you are on Fido with the data plan and say if you got the 9700, are you able to use the BB Messenger function? (What functions will u not be able to utilize if you are not with Rogers?) or is that only available for ppl on Rogers?

It'll be a big decidin factor for my next phone choice.

you can use all the functions in a berry as long as you have a BB data plan (which includes BIS and all the goodies like bbm, email, etc).

as for the OP, hope you can get a refund on the phone.
