BlackBerry data Roaming
Planning on a business trip and need access to your email? Your emails will find you automatically - even when you're abroad.
You'll be able to keep up-to-date with your emails using your BlackBerry. And because it's using a data connection you'll always be connected without having to reconnect every time you want to send and receive mails (subject to coverage).
Selecting a data network when roaming
- Switch on the device and wait for it to find a network. When you see the network coverage indicator showing in the top right hand corner of the front screen, you know it's found a network
- Scroll to "Options" on the home screen of the BlackBerry and Select
- Scroll to 'Network' and select
- Scroll to 'Scan Mode' and change to Manual if on Automatic (select 'Automatic', select 'Change Option' move the trackwheel to highlight 'Manual' and select)
- Scroll to 'Please do a scan' and select - click 'Scan for Networks' from the menu
- Wait for the scanning to complete and then highlight the appropriate network
- Click 'Select Network' from the menu
- Click the trackwheel again, scroll to 'Register Now' and select - a registration message will be sent
- Click the trackwheel and select 'Close'
- Select 'Save Changes' when prompted
- Click Escape (below the trackwheel) to return to the 'Home Screen'
You may need to repeat these procedures as you move in and out of network coverage.
If these fail try resetting the device by pressing and holding down the 'Alt', 'Num Shift', and 'BackSpace' keys.
If you still cannot send or receive email, please contact your corporate IT Helpdesk.
