Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If, by that, you mean you see edge rathern than EDGE or gsm rather than GSM or 3g rather than 3G, then nothing else matters. You need to contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Hi I have the same problem my bbm and internet not workin I tried following these steps but I went to options and I don't have an advanced options button plz help X
Hello,
That post is old, and there is newer information now...finding the right menu items to perform the steps can vary by BB OS level...the links in this post have the more recent instructions.
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
2) Resend Service Books
- KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
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 network provider for formal support.
Good luck!
