I'm not sure the moderators allow sharing that information on the site anymore but you can call airtel customer service to get it. Airtel uses only a single apn setting for their data services and it should be easy for you to find

you need to update your OS to get Whatsapp, Skype etc. you also need to update your apps from the Blackberry world

BB10 has a built in screen grabber....just press the Vol + and Vol - buttons together. you dont need a 3rd party app

the native twitter app on the BB10 is quite good if you update to the latest version

Believe me, if cheap data plan is a key factor in your consideration then BlackBerry is your best choice as you know and the BlackBerry 10 devices can use the same plan you currently use on your bold 4

BLACKBERRY ID vs BLACKBERRY PIN

Folks,

as you are all aware, the BBM will be coming over to Android OS and iOS later this year. to help you prepare for the awesomeness that is about to come, i want to draw your attention to the importance of your Blackberry ID aka BBID as opposed to the world famous BB PIN

the PIN is unique to each BB device...so if you change your BB 10x a year, your PIN will change 10x in the year but the BBID on the other hand is a more pervasive element in the Blackberry experience

Since OS7, the BBID has become truly awesome in tying together every area of the Blackberry experience. so long as you maintain your BBID, your data (contacts, SMS, BBM list etc) follows you from device to device...gone are the days when you loose your BBM contact because ur BB got stolen or you bought a new BB

since Androids and iPhones don't have PIN, the BBID will become even more important going forward. those guys will use BBID exclusively to add BBM to their mobile life and all you have to do is give them your BBID and get their BBID to connect. i expect that they will be able to add BB users using the PIN but ultimately, BBID will become really popular because the BBID is an email address!!!!!

it is so much easier to remember an email address than to remember a PIN. i believe most BB users don't know other people's PIN offhand, heck, most can't even remember their own PIN offhand

did you know that you can initiate a BBM video to a BB10/Playbook acquaintance using the BBID rather than looking for the PIN?

so start getting comfortable with your BBID cool

you can't sideload directly to the BB10. you need a PC


you need to connect the BB10 device to a PC, download the .bar file and use appropriate software to sideload the app to the device

I have just swapped my sim from etisalat to glo,I have been their client for 3 months now on my Q10. I cant continue with the normal bb10 plan, I am using glo for 1400# and I guess I was given 3gig, just the normal bb complete monthly plan and its working fine.I advice you to get a another fone and swap your bb10 to glo or airtel.

i remember advising you to update your OS to at least 10.1 or better still, 10.1MR. have u done that?

the problem you described could be a software issue which has been fixed with those updates listed or it could be faulty hardware like someone mentioned above

do u have BlackBerry10 OS version 10.1?
Re: Blackberry 10 Devices Home: Z10, Q10 Etc by Rowybest(f): 11:11pm On Aug 14, 2013
walcolm: So for all the new BB10 users. i am sure you have noticed an app on your shiny new BB10 called 'CONNECT TO DROPBOX'

in case you are wondering what it is, it is a cloud sharing app for saving files to a cloud drive so you can access it anywhere so long as you have access to internet service from any device.

all you have to do is log on to your 'dropbox account' from any device anywhere in the world and your files are available to you

dropbox gives you a 2GB cloud drive space for registering but if you use my link below, you get an additional 500MB once you install the dropbox to your computer.

note the emphasis on installation to a computer. it is because your computer acts as your master device and all your other devices reference it

http:///3X1B8UoH
click link above to get started (you can click the link from any device to register your account after which you then need to install the PC version to get the 500MB
my dropbox pictures don't open in my fone, why?

That's a 10.0 Operating System. You need a 10.1 OS update. Go to your Software update which can be found under settings to download the current available OS.

Rowybest: my dropbox pictures don't open in my fone, why?

can you see other files in your dropbox? the pictures in question were saved to dropbox from where?

Note:
Dropbox has to sync the pictures from one device to the 'cloud' before the pictures can now be rendered on another device e.g. pictures from your laptop has to sync to the dropbox 'cloud' and when you log on to dropbox from your BB, you will then be able to access those pictures
