Blackberry Bold 9700 - Manual (Page 17)

Troubleshooting basics
I cannot make or receive calls
Try performing the following actions:
• Verify that your BlackBerry® device is connected to the wireless network.
• Verify that your wireless service plan includes phone or voice services.
• If you cannot make calls and fixed dialing is turned on, verify that the phone number for your contact appears in your fixed dialing list
or turn off fixed dialing.
• If you have traveled to another country and you have not changed your smart-dialing options, dial the full phone number, including
the country code and area code, for your contact.
• If you are not receiving calls, verify that call blocking and call forwarding are turned off.
• Your device or your SIM card might support more than one phone number, even if you only have one phone number. Verify that your
phone number is set as your active phone number.
• If you have more than one phone number associated with your device, verify that the phone number that you want to make calls from
and receive calls to is set as your active phone number.

I cannot set up an email address
Try performing the following actions:
• On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Setup Wizard icon. On the email setup screen, verify that you have typed all the email
address information correctly. To view the password that you typed, select the Show Password check box.
• Verify that the email address is associated with a supported email account (for example, a POP3 email account or an IMAP email
account). For more information about supported email accounts, contact your wireless service provider.
• If you are switching from another BlackBerry® device that is associated with one or more email addresses using the BlackBerry®
Internet Service, verify that you have completed the process for switching devices automatically or manually using the email setup
application. For more information about switching devices, see the Learn More booklet that came with your device.
