aalok 442 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 is your blackberry 8330m of SPRINT make..?? i had faced this problem in sprint 8330m & banged my head for the solution.. sprint blackberries never accept *228. instead of doing *228, get the no. transferred through the reliance world (webworld) & manually punch MIN no. in the handset.. your phone will become active.. * Thanks a ton to Genius, Tushar bhai, Hetal Bhai, for this solution..

Genius 817 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 *228 never worked for me in bb in almost 14 bb sets. It has to go manual min input only. Go for it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankurcshah 112 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 RSN transfer is the best option for changing a number. Never go with a HCC/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReshadatAli 1 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 The ww guy took my phone, did *228 and declared that this phone cannot be used with reliance. Anyways will go to web world again on monday and ask him to transfer number and give me the min number. Min is only needed right? Also, what about internet? will it work out of the box? There is no browser even. Are there any pointers on how to get internet working on this phone. evdo if posible else 1x. It has got something to do with service books but I'm not sure.

aalok 442 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 ^ they (webworld guys) cannot give you MIN no.. you need to get it by yourself.. if your existing no. is on RUIM, better to extract the MIN from RUIM itself.. then ask the webworld guy to transfer the no. on the current MEID.. just get it done.. Internet WILL never work out of the box, as its imported handset.. Regarding EVDO, you can follow post & if you want 1x only, PM me, will give you all the details..

ReshadatAli 1 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Ok. Will do it. Will get a nokia cdma and extract the min. Hope that'll solve the issue. I've registered the meid for evdo too. will keep an eye on the thread. Right now it is filled with praise messages. Pming you regarding 1x data.

SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Try calling *228001/*228002 or you can also do it by loading sprint prl and do *228 and after activation, jump back to reliance prl. Though when in sprint prl, phone should be on reliance network. Edited April 9, 2011 by SumitVerma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 817 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 ^^^ Sumit dont you think entering MIN manually is a easy solution than all the 228 fus and jumping from prl's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SumitVerma 187 Report post Posted April 10, 2011 It is indeed, but only when the number is pre-activated. In his case, he needs to suffer with WW guys giving a request for non-ota meid change. Using HCC is always preferred I suppose. If he is comfy with going WW, your solution is better option . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReshadatAli 1 Report post Posted April 13, 2011 These Web world people are wierd. They think that they are very smart but they dnt even know the meaning of min number. The problem now is that my address is wrong in their database and they practically can't do anything about it. However, they were quick to suggest that If I change my plan to postpaid, then they can change the address. Firstly I need to change my address and then only I'll be able to change my handset. what a piece of sh** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReshadatAli 1 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) One more thing, I msgd odr meid and odm mdn from my cell and both returned error. Also, messages are working fine. I can send and receive sms normally Edited April 22, 2011 by ReshadatAli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReshadatAli 1 Report post Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) can somebody please help. I cannot use my number. It displays call lost after few seconds. Tried different OS, did a battery pull. But nothing happened. What should I do? Alo, I can do *225 and *226 normally. This indicates that it may be a NANM/PRL issue. I used HSD prl. I cannot change PRL on windows 7 as QXDM 2.08 does not run on windows 7 and I don't have access to windows XP right now.
