thanks scott, i tried it but it just wouldnt work. it keeps telling me that it cannot find the requested server. its so fustrating because it happens to be that they don’t have a technical team that works on blackberries since all of theirs are preconfigured. i really don’t know what else to do. thanks anyway.

I was just in Italy using my unlocked Verizon branded Blackberry Storm. I purchased a pre-paid Vodafone SIM card with BlackBerry data.

In order to get it to work, first I had to wipe the APN settings (found under options >> advanced options >> tcp/ip). Then, all it took was removing the battery for a few seconds, replacing it, and powering the phone back on. After the phone powered back up, the service books began populating automatically and data worked fine. I’m not sure if this will work on inwi, but it worked great with Vodafone IT.

hi, i just moved to morocco for a study program. i have an unlocked blackberry storm that i purchased from craigslist before travelling. the phone was originally from verizon . i bought a blackberry service from a telephone company here called inwi and they asked me to change my apn but i have not been able to connect to the internet. they had me download miniopera but all my web based applications cannot connect to the internet. i do not have bes/ bis so i do not know what to do. Also my email settings gives me only the option to use bes.i think that was a result of an accidental wipe.i tried reloading the service book but only my browser was restored.
i will deeply appreciate any help you might offer.

Scott,

I know this is strange for me to post this on your blog, but I have to tell you, that although we are competitors, I completely agree with your reply. The techniques they have utilized clearly violate TOS guidelines. I was surprised that they stayed as high in the search engines as long as they did.

I have, however, seen a huge drop in rankings on Google. I’m hoping it will stay this way. But yes, it was very disheartening. I have to say that I do enjoy the fact that your company has a Paramedic at the helm. I like to think we have a unique perspective regarding the practice of CPR and First Aid, more favorable than most physicians. Maybe someday we can complement each other. I wish you and Roy the very best.

Hi Scott, thanks for the heads-up. In our Webmaster Guidelines, we state “Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.”

A business with near-duplicate content on several domains may have those domains rank well for a given query in the short-term. However, we believe showing duplicative information in our search results creates a poor user experience.

It’s likely that as we gain more information, only one of — not all of — the sites will appear for a given query.

Our advice, (as always is to create unique and compelling content, and a great user experience that builds your business. Sounds like you’re already aware of all of this…

Good luck and so nice meeting you at SES SF,
Maile

I have a question, I just purchased a Blackberry Storm from someone that was on the Verizon network, but they let their service get disconnected. Can I use the phone on my Altell network? If so do I just use all this valuable information that you guys have posted?
