[mayanksahni]

Hi all. I wanna gift my mom blackberry pearl flip cdma. She uses Tata Indicom connection. I found various links over ebay globaleasy buy and all, but was unable to figure out that which one will work with this network. So its my humble request to you all please help me find the best possible deal of the same phone which can easily run on Tata Indicom network.

Thanks in Advance.

Bump!!!!

Please help me out guys. I saw few deals on Ebay GlobalEasybuy who's links are as follows, please let me know which all will work with Tata Indicom CDMA network. According to the frequencies they should work, still want your confirmation :-

New NIB Verizon Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230 Phone (Rs. 2988)

New Verizon BLACKBERRY Silver 8230 Pearl Flip Cellphone (Rs. 2841)

Please let me know if these two will work or not. And also let me know if I need to know anything else or not since I am unaware of MEID or so. So please throw some light, please help me guys.

U won't be able to use it on TATA on BB8230

If you want to use reliance on it,I can help.

 

[mayanksahni]

Thanks a lot for replying bro. Please let me know, why it won't work on Tata.

 

[m.khurana]

Tata Doesn't accept foreign MEID/ESN,while Registering MEID/ESN with Reliance is easy backend process.

For TATA,few Blackberry and other foreign handsets can be programmed(Read:cloned) with already registered MEID/ESN from TATA database along with Akey.

AFAIK,the nv data of Blackberry 8230 is locked,which make it difficult to clone.

 

[mayanksahni]

Please check this link Verizon BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 Smartphone PagePlus (Rs. 2840)

It says its unlocked, so still it won't be able to run on Tata network? Sorry for noobish questions, but I liked this one for my mom very much.

 

[m.khurana]

Blackberry CDMA don't have Sim slot that can make it Unlocked.So here Unlocked means Without Any Contract.

 

[mayanksahni]

Ok, so means Tata won't allow foreign phones to work on their network?

 

[m.khurana]

It is possible to make few handset work for TATA.Unfortunately,Blackberry 8230 can't be done.

You can use reliance if you want.Reliance has no such constraint based on Handset.

 

[mayanksahni]

Hmmm, thanks a ton mate for helping. Can you please suggest the best cheap phone for 5k max preferred blackberry which can work on tata??

They all are GSM mate, I specifically want a CDMA one.

 

[m.khurana]

Following Blackberry Can be used for TATA

1.Blackberry 7130

2.Blackberry 8703

3.Blackberry 8130

4.Blackberry 8330

5.Blackberry 8830

P.S. Blackberry Services (BIS/BES) won't work neither for TATA nor for reliance foreign Handsets.

 

[mayanksahni]

Yeah, BIS is even not required at all. But all these are very ugly.
