Wife's brought a pearl 3G off ebay help me not smash it up please...
Hi there,
My wife has just been out and brought a pearl 3G off eBay. I have been out and was trawling threads here to find her one. I havent had a BB before but understand there is need for a PIN to be released by the seller?
Well we are trying to get it set up, she has no PIN, the seller has no idea what day of the week it is and it is telling me to put a PIN in my WIFI router before it will connect to the net.
There is also no app world on there, I thought it would have been but the software that came on the disc doesnt allow an update yet, just an email reminder when it is time.
the seller has used the phone as his name was on the BBM app.
Can anyone help me set this up please? I have an iPhone and nokia's before that. I didn't think any phone would be this hard to set up.

Hi Lewt,
Might be worth having a look on the Blackberry users forum ??
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8100-series-discussion-pearl/It's not just about the money0 -
the pin is the pin that identify's the phone to the blackberry net work ,
the pin will be lock the the net work that the phone was on ,eg t-mobile blackberry network http://www.instantemail.t-mobile.co.uk/
like this ,its not the same has the normal mobile net its blackberrys net work ,
you find the pin in,main menu ,tools and then status on the phone,
you will also need BIS(blackberry internet services) for the phone which is the blackberry network http://uk.blackberry.com/support/blackberry101/setup.jsp#tab_tab_email
go to Set Up Your Email From Your Computer
or you have to get the seller to release the phone off his network
if you do have BIS the gprs /3g will be in capitals not lower case on the phone
gprs/3g not BIS
GPRS/3G got BISthere or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff0
