Madgio: Am toying with the idea of getting a 9
month old blackberry z10 for 35k from a
friend. But the problem here is the phone
has some problems which he told me and am
aware of. The phone shutsdown by itself
sometimes and it keeps rebooting without
switching on with a blue screen, then comes back on maybe
after a day or more, which I think is a
software problem that can be corrected.
What do you guys think, should I go ahead and can the blue screen issue be resolved

Go ahead and collect the phone from him but before you go for any fancy software update, buy a new battery and see if the boot issue stops

bodmasengr: I didnt, however am getting an airtel line rightaway. Pls can u give ur no for further guide and assistance . Tnx

nope i cant give my number

you can however send me a pin message if you have a question....PIN messaging is one of the little perks of being a BB user

bodmasengr: Does this work with MTN and ETISALAT

dude, did you read my post?

i answered the question before you asked it and you still ask the question

kody-licky:
@Walcom, i just subscribed to Airtel unlimited plan on my Q5 and its not working...
any ideas on what i can do to fix this..

jump start your line by subscribing to the daily 10MB plan...load 100 bucks and dial *141*712*11#

lertee: I heard it carried Agagu's body,how true is this?

its true

bodmasengr: Please i need your help guys, my Z10 BB sucked up bundled heavily without using it. I bought 500mb with MTN, without doing much, it went to 0mb under few hours. I experinced same even when i switched to etisalat. Presently considering selling it as i cant afford buying #1500 worth data everyday . Please help with ideas on how i can resolve this. Thanks a mill guys

go to the very first post on this thread...the answer to your question is there

note that MTN and Etisalat BIS do no work on BB10 devices, you have to buy their dedicated BB10 plan which gives you less data at a higher cost..Glo and Airtel on the other hand give good love to BB10 users

hola if you need any other help rocking your Z10, the folks here are BB10 enthusiasts

@walcolm what's the update on this? did it later work cuz i no won waste money ni?

abeg nor go waste your money o...it doesnt work...i still have the 3GB data on my sim wasting away

jude33084: Hmmm! I hear you


Z10? you did not even mention Bold 5 or torch?

Yep that's because the z10 is at least 4x faster than both of those and it runs on the new OS meaning it can do things they can't even dream of let alone do

jude33084: Thanks very much but my Os version is 6.0 and anytime i check for an update it shows " Your Blackberry is Up to Date"


What should I do Pls

like i mentioned earlier, your curve 9300 is a 2010 phone...you might want to consider getting the Q5 phone if your phone budget is low...i use glo BIS on my Z10 and i regularly download files larger than 100MB without a problem...

cjudy: Blackberry don already die. I was once a fan but the fact of their interface and os I hate them. battery nkor? a beg jor. my HTC Sensation keeps me on the run.......

that was then and your anger towards the previous OS is reasonable...i will urge you to try the new OS..its called Blackberry 10 and its every bit as good as any version of android and iOS

jude33084: Pls is anybody using glo bis here? I find it hard to download any file above 10mb, the download is always interrupted and stopped. Is this a Glo issue or my BB (curve 9300)?


Please help!

you might want to update the OS on your now very old BB...Curve 9300 is quite old and you need to update the OS to the very latest to get a decent performance from it

vower: To me blackberry is useless without subscription

you're wrong..you should try the new BB10 devices...they do not require BIS to work

@OP,

i don't get your point....a cheat is when a manufacturer ramps up the capability of its test device beyond what would be sold to the general public just to ace a test. example of a pure cheat was when Nokia tried to ace the camera test by using a DXLR camera to take pictures and claimed they were taking by the Nokia 920 back in 2012

what has happened here is Samsung saying, if benchmark tests want to know what my hardware can do, i tell the hardware to go at full throttle so the benchmarks can test the hardware to its full potential.

my customers can also choose to go full throttle when the hardware is in their hands since the test hardware is the same as the one that will be commercially available but i will also cater to my regular 'Joe' customers who don't need the full power all the time by making my device smart enough to turn off power that is not required

analogy...if you buy a grand prix grade sports car for your wife to use for school runs and grocery shopping, that doesn't mean another person who has the need for speed can't take that same vehicle and crank it up to 300km/h....its one and the same hardware and Samsung will be foolish not to optimize the device to intelligently manage its resources on a needs basis

Lets get this rolling

shrek4: Naaah! It works perfectly fine on dis Z10 here, I use GLO's BBCMONTH(1K/3GB) on my Q10 tho... but there is this other Z10, used to spend 2500 for 3GB, but now it's 1100, just as I explained above, same apn bro, it's working perfectly okay here... location doesn't matter, but am in Lagos, used it in Abuja too... what seems to be the problem with it there?!

I subscribed to the #1500 bis plan and subsequently subscribed to the daily 10mb plan

With etisalat as apn, the 10mb gets used up but not the 3gb. With BlackBerryx.net as apn, nothing happens. I have 3071mb of data that I can't access using the z10

rabzy01: I just received the following SMS from air tel. Hope they aren't going to do the unthinkable- block BIS from android. Has anyone received it?

Got the sms too

Flawless girl: haven't you guys heard of mtn bis,the default APN is working now just downloaded dead to rights cso and still counting,no vpn is required just Change your mtn APN to default if you are using mtn bis

What's the default apn?

cupid4ig: o it doesn't work be that

Now I have 3gb of bis data on my etisalat sim that I can't use

walcolm: I'm happy to try...what's the apn setting for etisalat bis? when I put the etisalat sim into my z10, the default apn is always BlackBerryx.net

@shrek4....still waiting on you....

i have made both subscription but its not working on either my Z10 or GS3...i have tried both the 'etisalat' and 'blackberryx.net' apn...what am i still missing?

shrek4: Etisalat users - here is a lil trick!

Make d regular subscription of 1k for 3GB, although it won't be activated for usage on ur BB10, afterwards you should make another 10MB subscription(N100), this will trigger your initial 3GB data cap.

Which means u will have 3.01GB to max out...


Happy Surfing!

I'm happy to try...what's the apn setting for etisalat bis? when I put the etisalat sim into my z10, the default apn is always BlackBerryx.net

you can only install BBM on an iPhone that is running iOS 6 and above. you will need to jailbreak the iPhone to allow you upgrade the OS and after that you will be able to install BBM
