Hi and Welcome to the Community!!

With your WiFi radio OFF and a good connection to your mobile service providers data network, I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):

1) Register HRT

• KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
• Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app

2) Resend Service Books

• KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
• Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.

3) Batt Pull Reboot

• Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.

Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.

Good luck!

I did that and It still does not work please help

[sdgardne]

Please re-read the final paragraph of what I said above, and follow that path (formal support).

[lukepearson]

I have done all the steps PLEASE HELP ME

[sdgardne]

NO YOU HAVE NOT! After step 3, there is a final sentence...that's what you need to now do...contact your mobile service provider for formal support. Something is incorrect with your services, and your services are delivered to you by them...so you need to talk to them about what is going on so that they can look "behind the scenes"...no one here can do that, only they can.

Good luck...and stop yelling, OK?

What is vodafones number

[sdgardne]

I don't know...you pay them for your services, so you perhaps have bills from them with their contact information? Or you can go to their website for contact information?

[lukepearson]

This is what it says when I send service books 'Congratulations, you have successfully set up lukesafc123@mobileemail.vodafone.net with your BlackBerry® device. You should begin receiving new messages in approximately 20 minutes.'

That is a successful result from the Service Book sending portion of the process above. There are other Service Books involved to provide full functions to your BB, and those as well should have been delivered (from the carrier system) when you received that message. But, with what else you've reported, your full service still is not working. Hence, contacting your carrier for formal support is required.

For example...there are many different types of BIS plans available from carriers. Some with email and social networking only, but without browser internet access. Other plans perhaps have browser and email only, but no social networking. And a whole host of other possibilities also exist.

There's no way for anyone here to know what your exact services should and should not be...you purchase those from your carrier, and only they can tell you if the services you pay them for are properly functioning or not. And, if you do pay them for a particular service that is not working, they (your carrier) have the responsibility to figure out the issue and resolve it...you pay them for your services, and if they are not delivering, they must fix it or find some other remedy for you. On the other hand, if the plan you pay for does not include the services you report as non-functional, then it is WAD -- Working As Designed. But again, only your carrier can actually answer these questions for you.

Good luck!
