    1. I'm trying to activate my wifi on my blackberry curve I've entered all the information and it looks like it has activated but at the top of the screen it says edge I've been told that it should be in capitals so have I done it wrong?

    2. I'm also trying to activate my email account which is a hotmail account but when I try to activate it just gives me something to do with a Blackberry Enterprise Server.

    Thanks and sorry if this is confusing I don't know much about Blackberry so this is a new area for me :pac::pac:

    So first you need to have a Blackberry service on your account (BIS). It's an extra available on bill pay or or some networks as pre pay. What network are you with?

    Hey David086

    If the edge is in small letters it means the add on isnt setup. If your device is Meteor the My Blackberry to 50104 and this should set it up.

    If the email is only giving you the enterprise server option it means the device is missing some service books

    Go to Menu- Options- Mobile network- Hit menu and select Diagnostic Test- Hit menu and Run.
    this should fix the missing service books and allow the email setup

    Thanks for your comments guys. I now know that I need the BIS add on which isn't available to pre pay for O2 (got phone off dad from work). If I got the phone unlocked could EDGE mode be activated?

    It's only on Vodafone and Meteor that prepay BIS will work. if you get the device unlocked and move to 1 of these networks it will work then.

    O2 will launch pre pay BIS probably by the end of this month but no guarantees.

    Unlikely end of this month or unlikely period?

    ----

    Oh emobile (runs on meteor network) also have pre pay bis. Currently meteor's/emobile pricing for pre pay bis is the best value I think. So if signal is good with them you can always go there until O2 do launch it.
