Are you getting an EDGE signal on your homescreen?

Do you have a Data Plan with Egy Mobinil, or O2?

On your BlackBerry device, go to:

1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.

2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402

Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.

From your desktop PC:  http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list

3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

Hi J Sanders,

thanks for your response.

I dont have the EDGE sign on my home screen.

my data plan is with O2,  I have tried all that you have suggested below and still nothing. I cant seem to get an internet connection as it wouldnt allow me to connect to the net.

So you are not connecting to O2, then in Egypt, right?

You must either have an international data roaming plan on O2, or you must have a BlackBerry Data Plan with the carrier to which you are connect in Egypt.

Once your device is connected to a data plan , you will see EDGE again, as well as emails.

hi,

thank you for your assistance, I have spoken with my provider and i am on an international data plan, but there might be an issue with the handset, which cannot be resolved until i return to the Uk .
