Hi,
I had a Blackberry Curve 8530 before and lost the device and bought a new one (same carrier, same phone number same type of phone). The old device had email set up on it no problem.
I immediately tried to set up new email (have not downloaded any apps yet) both by the wizard and email settings and it takes me to a screen I don't recognize. On the Top it says "Blackberry Internet Service" and is asking for a user name and password. I don't rmember setting this up on the old phone, but if I did, it seems as though it is recognizing this phone number as already having an account because there is no option to create an account. I have no idea what username or password it wants, nor do I know how to get that information. I cannot find a Blackberry Internet Service URL for cricket. and cricket is telling me they don't use user names. I don't know if this is a blackberry thing or cricket thing. Whatever the username is, it isn't an email, because when I type my email in it says "username is blank" The Picture is not a screenshot, but a pic I found on the internet that is exactly the screen that I'm talking about.

UPDATE: Found the Cricket BIS server for Cricket by randomly typing things into my browser that made sense. it's https://mycricket.blackberry.com/ Unfortunately it won't let me create a new account because it says I already have one (after entering PIN and ESN/MEID) and to contact 1-800-cricket for help!!! HA!!! they have no clue what I'm talking about.
I tried to at least get the password so maybe I can figure out my username by trying different things, but though it says it is sent, it never reaches my device. Anyone happen to work for Cricket so I can tell these people where to look for my username?? ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
