Hello , Today i received my new blackberry 8520 from Orange with a free upgrade

Well when i am trying to access the blackberry app world i am getting this error message 'Upgrade your service to a plan that includes browsing and discover blah blah blah' The thing is i have taken out a plan which includes unlimited email and internet'

I have been seraching the internet and have seen many people with the same problem but not any real solutions.

Please if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

Additional info

You are sure you have the blackberry specific email and internet plan?
Try with wi-fi on only.

Thanks for the reply. Yes i do believe i have this plan. But is there any way of making certain. I also am connected on wi-fi and it doesn't work.

Another t-mobile Uk user here, has been having the same message with app world.
I havent, but my GPRS has been going down to gprs and I currently cant get it back.
I would say *guess* theres a data problem somewhere in the UK/RIM servers etc.

Alright mate. Thanks alot i might give Orange a ring in the morning and see if they have any information on the matter.

Here is the solution which worked for me. I am running a Curve 8900 on O2 in he UK.

Go to the internet email for your service provider. For example, for O2 it is BlackBerry Internet Service

Log in using your username and password

Click Help

Click Send Service Books

That seemed to crack it for me - good luck

You need to subscribe to a BlackBerry Data Plan in order to get service books.
A "regular" Internet Plan is not sufficient. You need a specific BLACKBERRY data plan.

If they can log in to the BIS site to click the send service books option, they have the blackberry data plan.

The good news is that you can drop the old generic data plan when you pick up the BlackBerry data plan.
