Sorry to resurect this thread, but thought it made more sense to continue this thread for those looking to do the same thing, and wanting more info. I'm also having difficulty and need some assistance.
I have a Curve 8900, natively on TMo. I purchased a Wind card from
Save on Roaming: Ihr Spezialist für Mobiles Internet - italienische Prepaid SIM-Karten - UMTS Italien in Germany. Nice company to work with - very quick shipping, a bit more expensive than if I purchased in Rome, but then I don't have to worry about fiddling with things when I arrive in Italy and won't have easy access to forums for help.
The card is activated, and I am able to text, make and receive calls, and I've enabled the Blackberry service for the card, receiving the proper SMS message that it was activated.
However, it's not pushing out any of my existing POP3 emails to me. I've gone into Options>Settings>Setup Wizard>Email Setup, and the only option I'm given is BES. No sign of BIS anywhere. I have BIS on my TMo, so it's got to be something in the SIM card settings.
Anyone have ideas of what I'm missing here in settings? While I can switch the SIMs back and forth (I will have unlimited international email set up for TMo while I'm gone as a backup), that's a pain and not what I want to do.
Help?
