Need help with Blackberry 7100t for Cingular
Hello, I have an unlocked BB 7100t. I had this phone for almost 2 yrs and loved its features but I hate T-Mobile. I read somewhere that this phone is compatible with Cingular. I recently subscribed witn Cing. and have their SIM card. I inserted Cing SIM to my BB, but it shows invalid SIM card. I'm not a mobile expert so this is about as far I can go. Any help from the BB or Cingular experts out there would be very much appreciated.
Thanks much.

Provided your SIM still works normally in your Cingular phone I can think of 2 things:
1. You've got the SIM in wrong (I know this sounds like common sense, but check it anyway, what could it hurt?)
2. Your phone's not actually unlocked. This is DEFINATELY the case if the phone follows the "invalid SIM" message with a request for a code.
Otherwise the phone should be compatible. If you got it directly from T-Mo then some of the software will be different and the WAP browser may be non-functional (not so sure about the BB browser). But a quick call into Cing. customer care (or a visit to a competent rep.) should be able to get you squared away. If they say they can't set up the 7100t call it a 7100g and thier shouldn't be much of...
