Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

 

And you've already tried everything (and I really mean EVERYTHING) in this entire thread? If so, then you are pretty much out of luck...BIS is hosted by the carriers. It is not a device function. If your carrier cannot deliver BIS to your device, then there's nothing anyone else can do...

Cheers! Oh...and FWIW...I am not a RIM employee...and these forums are user-to-user...not user-to-RIM.

Re: New Bold 9700 not connected to BB Internest service

Ding!!!! "Exchanged phones"...did BIS work on the first one? If so, then it is possible that the carrier did not fully migrate your BIS account to the new one. Regardless, it's still in the carriers ballpark to resolve as BIS is a carrier-provided service. Make sure you are getting escalated to the carriers dedicated BB Support folks...they can in turn escalate into RIM if needed.

Re: New Bold 9700 not connected to BB Internest service

Hey I'm having the exact same problem. My service provider is fido as well, I was wondering if you got it fixed and if so how? I'm still having troubles getting my service to work and I'm pretty sure I've tried everything in every forum.

Re: New Bold 9700 not connected to BB Internest service

The carriers indeed control the BIS accounts. RIM provides the infrastructure that stuff traverses, but the carriers control the accounts. Only suggestion is to keep trying.

Re: New Bold 9700 not connected to BB Internest service

Hello Aaronmakkc,

 

It would seem that we both share a similar  problem, The odd thing with my situation is the BBM was working.

 

 Contacted my provider and they where not able to help ! All the steps you attempted in your prior posting I have done and still no luck , I have even tried a different BB and all my services work on the that  BB is running and working able to connect and BBM, send and receive emails,

 

 Would you mine providing some info on how they resolved the issue.

Re: New Bold 9700 not connected to BB Internest service

 

I too am with Fido and also fighting with them, they have indicated that this has to do with the phone, but either way they are no help!

 

The Odd things is the phone was working a few days ago to precise   25 Feb was the last day i was able to connect send / receive message even use BBM! One of the tech confirmed that there was an outage last wk Thursday 25 Feb which caused all 3G service to go down, what a coincidence the same day I lost services!

  I have tested with another BOLD 9700 it is able to connect and all the services are running,

 If you're able to make any head way with FIDO please let me know!

 

Thanks
