hooked to any of their BIS.
Still trying to figure out how to solve this.
Anyone outside has a solution do comment.
Tks a lot.

Since some readers out there are confused, I will explain in details as follows :
I've bought a used BlackBerry Curve 8900 of telco Starhub Limited (Singapore).
I found the trackball faulty & managed to get a replacement set from Starhub as it is still under warranty.
This new device carry the following PIN & IMEI.
PIN : 2110BD21
IMEI : 355383.03.566030.8
I brought it back to my own country (Malaysia) & use it with my current Telco, Maxis.
I'm able to make/receive calls & send/receive sms.
Then I went along to register this device to use my telco (Maxis) BIS service.
I managed to register this device to my telco BIS but however I wasn't able to use any data services at all ie. emails, browsers, applications & even wifi.
My device only shows upper case GSM network on its screen & no gprs or edge.
Throubleshoot cames & I found there are entries in the device host routing table.
Whenever I try to register the entries this error will appear.
"Registration message queued. It will be sent once data coverage is available"
I called up my Telco many times on this problem & hasn't got a clue what is going on.
Their BlackBerry technical assitance also spoke the same tone.
For trial & error I went to purchase a Starhub sim & activate this device with Starhub prepaid BlackBerry service & to my surprised the data services came alive!!
The device is showing upper case GPRS now on its screen & I'm able to use all the data services.
Thinking that this device PIN might be hooked to Starhub wireless network I called them up to release it.
I got a big shock when they told me that this device PIN wasn't hooked to their BIS service.
Not giving up I went back & try to register this device with my Telco (Maxis) BIS service again & this error came.
"The information you have provided is not valid for this service provider"
I got so upset & has been losing sleep as both telco are unable to tell me what is the problem.
I'm paying for a unlimited BIS plan now with my Telco (Maxis) & unable to use any data services.
Went off to spend my Christmas losing sleep!!!
Can anyone out there tell me what is going on??
I would also be very grateful is someone is knowledgeable enough to guide me how to hook this device with my Telco (Maxis) BIS & use all the data functions.
Lastly not forgetting I wished all readers a belated Christmas.
