Hello pipo. I purchased this
new bb device 9900 from
China. I am from Zambia and my carrier is Airtel Zambia. I am having. A problem in having the device register on my carrier's network. They say that they can not activate BIS because the device can not be recognized on their network and yet the device is not even branded. I get no response even when I try to register the host routing table.
The device is also asking for Enterprise activation.
My overseas seller seems to be
unresponsive to questions about
unlocking this device.
Appreciate if somebody could assist
me with any solutions I could consider. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile

Re: Bold 9900 failing to register on carrier network
@Leezman I'm having the same problem but my vendor is 179 please help me with this, my bis subscription is not even working yet my phone is unlock Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile
Re: Bold 9900 failing to register on carrier network
Ok , the common link is this vendor 179. MTN does offer blackberry BIS plans and various data packages. I don't know who or what a vendor 179 is but if MTN has agreements with a provider to pick up their cell calls and that 179 provider does not have a BIS or blackberry service then it all stops. The phone if locked will not work on another carrier for most services.
MTN site for your area it seems clear they offer service and you can try calling MTN directly. Give them the IMEI number and they should be able to validate it.
Check to see if the spelling of the work Blackberry is in upper case not lower case.
Look at the serial numbers and PIN numbers. The pin is usually 8 digits/letters the IMEI is usually 15 digits
