What is your signal shown? edge or EDGE or 3g or 3G
If your BIS is activated, U will get capital letter EDGE or 3G

There your answer. Call up your telco and screw the F out of them to get yr BIS activate!

Dont advise U to use your BB under roaming service. The roaming charges will shock U.

U need principle line user who is your dad to instruct maxis to add in BIS package to yr sub line.

Depend on which BB u plan to use.

Tour 9630, Storm 9530, Storm 2 9550 will not work well on Celcom.

For unlimted tethering so far, all telco also support. Depend on which package U plan to sub.

What dont U tell us what U plan to do with your BB, where is your location, what BB U using. Then will recommend U which telco is work best.

Since U already got BB from Aunty, Why dont just sign up a BIS plan from any telco and enjoy the features.

For me,
Gmail will be almost instant.
Hotmail alway got delay like 5-10 mins (estimate)

Didnt try other yet.

Try to batt pull and reinvite again?

This had to blame our lazy telco. BB OS is actually telco dependent. Every OS that installed on their set are tested and approved before roll out to users. I am sure all our Telco dont have their approved version of OS5 for 9000.

That is why we use manual method to update to OS5.

@nykon and@foogie,
Not sure digi stop support CDMA phone or not. But my 9550 working fine on digi.

mine is 9550 Verizon set.

Pls make sure on the "Mobile Network Options" --> Choose "GSM/UMTS" on Network Technology

Even u visited digi centre also they cant solve?
Did they offer u any solution?

Guess I am the lucky bunch who didnt face any problem on Digi.

What I can think now is
1) "Mobile Network Options" --> Choose "GSM/UMTS" on Network Technology
2) try "untick" the Mobile network, then tick back after fews secs. Normally I did this if my 9550 didnt manage to connect to BIS.

I am totally agree with your point. 9550 is a world band phone meaning CDMA AND GSM.
Also what clamshot said is not correct. It is not our fault rather than is Digi itself. I did many times asked Digi about their BIS support 9550 or not. They told me confidently and proudly it fully support. (Proudly because they knew other 2 telco having problem support Tour at that time)

Your theory might be right. I at Melaka all this time, my 9550 (Verizon) on digi BIS havent face any connection problem.

Now need Verizon set using at Johor to confirm the theory.

solved this problem by entering ##000000 then hit send

and enter your number in " mobile directory number " and save setting

your BB will reboot now , then you are done

If you managed to install without venfor.xml file is ok. Dont worry about it.

Vendor.xml is a text file that is distributed with most OSs and it defines which OS variants may be installed on which phones from which carriers.

This file would stop, for instance, OS 4.6.1.200 (ficticious) being installed on a phone from carrier Zyz that had released OS 4.6.1.175 (also ficticious) . It would also stop you from installing OS 4.6.1.180 (equally ficticious) On you phone from carrier Xyz whaere the OS had come from carrier Abc.

Removing this file removes the restriction thus enabling you to install any 8900 OS on your 8900 phone. Simple really - once you know.
