Have tried to update Blackberry ID password since Nov 2018. Have dedicated 3 hours a week since Nov to try to get it to work so I could receive email on my phone. I have 22 pages of notes of discussions with Rogers and Rim. I live in Waterloo and have physically gone to University Ave and placed my body inside your buildings but have not had any success. Obviously I am a determined and persistent person. Today I dedicated one last attempt and my Blackberry Passport is in the garbage. Time to sell my stock and I can not verbally support and defend your firm when those around me are negative towards it.I surrender.

Hello

I've been experiencing harassment from the Blackberry corporation for some time now and I've filed complaints with a number of government agencies and up till now the issue hasn't been properly addressed. Below I've outlined the email I've sent to number of the Canadian government agencies to deal with this matter. Below I've provided a copy of the email that was sent. Please provide some assistance, if you do not receive a response from me by email, I can be reached at 519 608 9555. I've also provided some information regarding the Blackberry civil case currently ongoing by 300 former employees to give you an idea of how this company has treated myself and others.

BlackBerry arranged to transfer over 300 employees across Canada to a business partner. Only after employees accepted employment with the business partner, BlackBerry informed the employees that they had resigned their employment. Blackberry provided resignation letters for the employees to sign and dictated their last date of employment. Blackberry stated that the transfer is not a sale of business, meaning the employees will lose all of their years of service.

BlackBerry’s actions amount to a termination of the employees’ employment. This entitles these employees to statutory, common law, and/or contractual entitlements on termination. BlackBerry has stated that it will not pay BlackBerry employees any of these entitlements, despite the fact that employees lose all of their years of service.

BlackBerry has breached its duties of good faith and honesty, and has knowingly misled the employees. BlackBerry structured this transaction in such a way as to avoid paying these employees their statutory entitlements.

We seek damages for the plaintiffs for minimum provincial statutory entitlements on termination, contractual entitlements on termination, and/or common law entitlements on termination. We are also asking for bad faith and punitive damages, as well as costs.

Plaintiffs in the class action include individuals who were employees and/or dependent contractors of BlackBerry Limited in Canada, and who were offered and accepted employment with the business partner.

I worked for this company in 2003 and then again in 2012 and harassment
began to take place and as a result I've submitted a Better Business Bureau
complaint in 2014 as well as a tribunal complaint in 2016. I need a
complaint filed and some assistance with addressing this issue.

A tribunal hearing has been scheduled.

Some of the information submitted within the complaint is listed below:A
woman at Vuteq where I previously worked was shouting comments to me from a
distance (name I believe was Laura) Vuteq management was notified of the
incident. Approximately Dec of 2015 Vuteq premises as I was leaving work.
Lunch has been stolen from Vuteq. I had taken a Goodlife trainer's course
and had people join the course and harass me. I've received threats
These issues first started while I was working at BlackBerry and escalated
once I was layed off. Vehicle broken into and damage done to car stereo(

My Blackberry Priv has stopped charging. It is now dead. It is still under warranty. It needs to be replaced. The support centres wont support Priv. I bought it from an online retailer in India. How do I get a replacement?

20

I sent off blackberry keyone my too carphone warehouse which the wasn't able to repair in store which they sent off to you the manufacturer only to find out that if you cannot fix my phone you will replace it with a second hand phone which i am really not happy with at all and if thats the case this will be the last blackberry product i will by and will upload my disappoint on my youtube channel .

My blackberry classic stopped working suddenly. My carrier is Verizon. Verizon could not do anything as the warranty was only for 1 year. They suggested I contact Blackberry customer service directly. I have had several blackberry's over the years and never had any problem. I contacted blackberry customer service. They instructed me to run some tests and send them the results. I did so. They said they could fix it for a fee of $180.00. I agreed to do that. A few days later they said that the could not proceed with fixing the phone because I did not purchase it directly from them. That is their policy. I asked them to escalate this to the chairman of Blackberry. They said they could not do that, but would escalate it to the head of customer service. After a few days, they said that the head of customer service confirmed they could not repair it because I did not buy it from them. I asked them to provide me the name, telephone number and address of the chairman. They refused to do so. I asked them If i can buy a blackberry directly from them to replace the one that they refused to fix. They said they do not sell directly to individuals. This is nothing but a catch-22 situation.

1) It cannot be repaired.
2) If i buy a blackberry I need to buy it unlocked over the internet.
3) If I do that, and it breaks, I am back to the situation that since I did not buy it from Blackberry, they will not fix it.

I can't locate any address for a Canadian Governmental Consumer Affairs Office to file a complaint with them.

I have had several blackberrys since 2001. Never had a problem with any of them. In fact I am using one that i purchased from Verizon about 9 years ago and it works. However it is really considered an ancient phone now. It has much less functionality.

I find that blackberry's behavior is deplorable and I would appreciate if they could at least fix it or alternatively, permit me to buy one directly from them so that if it ever breaks again, they will, under their policy be able to repair it. There must be a Canadian regulation that is being violated, I am not sure. Appreciate any help you can provide.

For now, I would like for someone to provide me the address of the Canadian Government Consumer Affairs office to file a complaint directly with them. In the meantime I will file a complaint with the chairman as you have provided his address, something Blackberry refuse to provide me.

BlackBerry used to design, manufacture and sell the "Rolls Royce" of mobile phones. Now due to their appalling customer service they are no better than the cheapest cloned phones from China!
1. I was unable to use my BlackBerry Passport for a period of 11 months.
2. I was physically without my Passport for four months.
3. Your UK distributor repeatedly denied that there was anything wrong with the Passport.
4. Your UK distributor attempted to claim that my phone did not carry a 24 month warranty.
5. Your UK distributor additionally denied that my warranty claim was made after the warranty period had expired.
6. It took seven months for you to agree to repair the Passport.
7. You too claimed the Passport was out of warranty and attempted to charge GB£170 for the repair.
8. After further complaints from me you begrudgingly agreed to discount the charge by 50%.
9. Town & Country generously offered to cover the repair charge, however, I refused to accept this as it was not their fault.
10. You finally, and even more begrudgingly, agreed to repair the Passport without charge which is what you should have done at the outset.
11. Had you or your UK distributor accepted the warranty claim at the outset, the problem would have been resolved a year ago.
12. SBE failed to co-operate when proof of delivered was requested by me. This became necessary because Royal Mail had failed to obtain a signature as proof of delivery.
13. Along the way I have been subjected to dumb insolence by most of your colleagues.
14. I have lost telephone numbers, documents and recordings of crucial telephone calls stored in my Passport, because as a result of the faults, the phone refused to backup all stored documents before it was sent to Town & Country and ultimately SBE.
15. The repair took almost five weeks in spite of a promise that it would be done quickly and the original box was wilfully destroyed SBE.
16. After all of the inconvenience that I have suffered, all I was given was a three month warranty on the repair and a charging pod in lieu of the destroyed box.
17. Finally, you insulted me by threatening to close the ticket when my complaints have still not been fully addressed and resolved.

Since writing the above and receiving no resolution, the refurbished Passport has been misbehaving. For the last six weeks I have been asking for assistance and am still waiting. I also attempted to register a warranty claim for two reasons: a) the three months is close to expiring; b) the inability to backup my address book was one of the symptoms associated with my original Passport before it was returned to Town & Country Communications and ultimately to SBE, and c) like its predecessor, the replacement (refurbished) Passport has started shutting down and switching off for no good reason.

If my Passport has to be sent to SBE again, I will need a replacement phone in addition to the full confidential recovery of my address book. The last successful backup on my old Passport produced a backup file of 826,511 KB. The backup that I performed after customising the repaired Passport was 700,018 KB. The difference between the two figures (126,493 KB) represents the loss of more than 15% of my contacts stored in my address book last time. The incomplete backup on the current Passport produced a backup file of only 2,380 KB! This should indicate how serious the latest problem is.

I have been asking for technical help with the backup of my address book. Logs were sent to BlackBerry weeks ago and nobody has bothered to get back to me. All I get is stupid comments denying any liability for compensation.

Research in Motion and BlackBerry were names to be proud of and the company was rightly placed on a pedestal above all others. I and my various companies have used BlackBerry phones exclusively for the last 10-12 years. All of my personal BlackBerrys are in pristine working condition EXCEPT the Passport. Are you really prepared to allow your employees risk losing my business. Nowadays, it seems as if customer service counts for nothing - how have the might fallen. Mr Chen please take note and deal with this 12+ month problem before it is too late.

My BlackBerry Passport needs to be sorted out. Plus it is not unreasonable to expect a KeyOne as compensation for all the frustration, insolence and threats that I have been forced to endure since late 2016!

20

Totally swamped with advertisements. At times difficult to stop Advertisement display. Repeatedly hit return and sometimes cannot get out of ads . Frustrating, very!

20

total lack of reason. told them six time what was wrong and had me spend a total of four hours on the phone and it still will not work and they still refuse to fix the problem. won't ever buy from them again unless they fix this fast!!!

20

Blackberry has failed to stand behind the 1 meter drop testing standards set by Gorilla Glass 4. They told me the repair would take 10 to 14 business days, it's been well over a month. My device fell from a 2 foot drop and the screen was brutally smashed. Please see pictures and video for drop test and device damage. My device was also in a blackberry hardshell case. The picture of the tape measure and coffee table is where it fell from.

40

The BlackBerry Priv screen smashed on a 2 foot drop. I talked to other people about this and they said device makers should stand behind their product and test them. A two foot drop is minimal and it should have with stood the fall especially being inside a BlackBerry™ hardshell case. Their still charging me $320 to fix the dam thing and I disagree with it.

40

I upgraded my phone to the new OS and I started having problem with my network, I find it difficult receiving 3G network on my BlackBerry Q5. it only receives the 2G network. the picture show the phone in 3G mode but showing SoS.

40

I have used blackberry phones for many years and my latest one is a blackberry classic. Having only had it since February it suddenly 'died' last week for no apparent reason. I have had to force the back of and apparently the motor board has burnt out. I have now had to buy another phone (not a blackberry) to use. Could you please respond as to why a relatively new phone should suddenly burn out.

I purchased a Blackberry Classic last year anticipating a top of the line cell phone which it was for about 6 months. It has rapidly decreased in battery life from the advertised 22 hours per charge to between 3 to 4 hours of life per charge. As an example I left my phone in my vehicle one day playing golf in a remote area in Quebec. The phone was on but no apps were running on a fully charged battery. After 4.5 hours the phone battery was red lined, no power!

My phone is on a pay as you go through Virgin Mobile with extended usage with Wi-Fi. I am not a tech person and use little of the available functions this phone is capable of. At first I thought I had too many this running in the background and turned off many features to conserve power. I shut down the Wi-Fi as well. Then I replaced the charging cord believing it to be defective. I like this phone for it's security and features but it may as well be a $450.00 string with two cans tied as far as function.

40

I bought my phone in South-Africa on a contract basis. Today is officially the second time that I had to return my phone. The phone's speaker doesn't work and I can't receive incoming phone calls. The battery dies the entire time. The first time my phone had to be send away, I received it after two months. Today, it had to be send away again. Blackberry just give me problems from the morning and can't deal with this phone anymore. I'm on the road four hours a day with no phone.

40

I wanted to buy Facebook pro as an app on my Blackberry on Wednesday the 29th of june, 2016 after putting the details of my atm card, I was debited instantly but not given the application. So my question is this why should blackberry deduct money and not give me the application I paid for? Please refund my money back it may be little but Blackberry is the worst smartphone ever.

60

Am using a BlackBerry Z10 model number: STL100-1 suddenly the phone began to fade off" like the phone will restart itself or sometimes disappear to black with the black light on* I did a hard reset and also changed the OS several times" still the same problem please help me out.

40

I live in Bombay india. I am a dedicated blackberry user from past 8 years. I am currently using a blackberry passport and a z10. My blackberry passport is under warranty and i started facing issue for battery draining, over heating and network problem is the worst among these. I found out the service center finally which is SG infotech in borivali inside thakkar malll. I submitted my phone on 28th may 2016. I got it back after 10 long days. I thought there would a new handset given to me but they said they repaired the same. I've already typed on consumer complaints about sg infotech and blackberry.

40

Purchased an app on Blackberry World, payment made through Vodacom. Each time money deducted but no coins allocated to my game. On the 14th May at 17.49, then three times on the 17th May, 10.47, 12.33 and at 19.17, each time R15.99 deducted but no coins. The game is from Magic. Each time the system error reported unable to reach server. Please investigate and reimburse. Many thanks and kind regards.

40

Purchased a Blackberry Q 10 version 10.3.2 recently on line through TOP BUY. 4 of the keys would not work d f g h. This made it difficult to connect to some functions and use the text message. Contacted TOP BUY who "have recently come under the management of Mysale group. Email address not monitored for either firm and have had no reply to my complaints except to say my complaint is on a list. A very long one obviously. Country of manufacture Korea and the phone was shipped from Hong Kong. What hope do I have of getting it replaced or fixed? It has limited use at the moment and cost me $255.

I just would like to bring under your attention my utter dissatisfaction with my Blackberry Z3. Being a Blackberry user ever since the first Blackberry has made its appearance I am close to navigate away from ever, ever owing another Blackberry again. I am battling for over more than two weeks now to just get this stupid device to make a backup and restore my data as there is a need to do that. None of the multiple software that I have downloaded to do just that (a simple backup) worked.

Either it is not supporting the BB Z10 under which the Z3 apparently falls or the Blackberry Link refuses to make a full backup of my device data or the blackberry extractor software does not support the said Z10(z3). Blackberry Software refuses to recognize my device in order to get it connected to the PC. I need info from deleted browsing history and I was hoping by doing a backup I would be able to retrieve such history at the end of all of this. Instead I am on the brink of giving up on this stupid phone. Hope to hear from you soon.

40

A got a blackberry Z3 from amazon and in one month of use the phone is no longer detecting a sim card. I had to reset it but nothing changed. I have done every solutions i read online changing sim card and nothing works. What should i do? I am so not happy with the phone and wish to file a formal protest to BB headquarters.

20

The newspaper released a development regarding encryption and that my phone is not secure. I would like full refund as these BlackBerry devices were sold to me as a secure device. I would say you need a fix quickly or close up shop as this will be the outcome of the consumer. Why is blackberry head offices not talking to the press on this, get the government out of our lives. They have no business in my phone.

40

BlackBerry has changed the standard facebook platform, you no longer can have face book without logging onto the website by enter net before it was part of the blackberry hub. I was informed that blackberry notified them. For weeks blackberry has promoted an upgrade for facebook moments. They do this and facebook is now gone and you can only load their Facebook 10 linked directly to the website at a price. I'm disappointed and will be changing my cell asap from BlackBerry to Samsung if this is not resolved asap.

20

Your newly upgraded facebook app is scam, it doesn't work when you want to open the app it takes you back to the phone browser. Now I can't be able to chat on facebook for days. Please do something urgently to address this problem.

20

I downloaded a new Facebook upgrade and it is horrible. All I get is my notifications. I can't get messages or send messages. Please can you help me get the original Facebook back on the BlackBerry. This technology is terrible!

20

I tried ordering a Blackberry PRIV device via on-line Sales but after order payment and Invoice receipt my order was declined twice. The debit and credit cards used had sufficient funds. I was requested by Blackberry to contact my Bank for an authorisation code and they blamed the bank for barring the transaction, however, my bank denied that this was the case. This is a very unexpected and unusual procedure, but still I followed Blackberry's advice and confirmed with may bank and confirmation of transaction was authorised and money awaiting for payment to Blackberry.

I am very disappointed at this state affairs. I was then contacted by Blackberry with an update on my order and was told the order was all together declined and the only other way was for me to re-start a new order and do a Wire-Transfer of funds to purchase the device..- how depressing is this experience, well Very! I am a fan of Blackberry and really wanted a PRIV as soon as possible. I do not understand why Blackberry are making it so difficult for me to purchase the PRIV bundle directly from online shop.

It was my first time to download my photos from blackberry z3 phone .My husband did everything on the laptop and than passwords were been asking which we only had one and it never took.I took my laptop and phone to provide outlet shop to help and the help i got from the sales person blocked my phone and it started to delete my info and the phone crashed.

It made all my photos go lost and no one can help to recovery my photos or contact number. Why not have a assists to recovery like contact or photos that important. I just right now want shout scream at some one but all very one telling me it software and blackberry known about it and they never solved the problem and only upgrade hand set. Blackberry should com to the table to help people like myself to recovery the info like photos and contact. The phone don't take the password you put in proof was yesterday when i took phone to service center.

I have been unable to use my Blackberry cell phone since last week. Please help! Tried contacting the corporate office but no answer!

I am unhappy that my blackberry bold that is a G3 is know going to run like a G2. It looks like I will be leaving T-Mobile after being with you for almost 5 years. My wife work for you and she was lay off she love T-Mobile. I wish you all the luck with your new change.

Terrible and unsatisfying after-sale-service! You should consider your choice when buying a new device. Have being using my device (BlackBerry Z30) for 7 months before a systematic error from BlackBerry Anti-Theft Protection made it impossible. By accident my BlackBerry ID account was deleted, which is still (!!) connected to my device and prevent the usage.

My numerous approaches to get in touch with BlackBerry corporate offices in order to solve this issue, via my Point-of-Sale or directly via paid BlackBerry Technical Support, failed. In my opinion there is no interest to help or to satisfy customers, apart from to increase number of sales.

40

I tried a BlackBerry new os version to download. But the space already takes 4gb. But extra 385mb to need delete to download the os. But this is no app and media to delete. Customer service is no help to me!

I use a blackberry Q5 and anytime I wanna save a phone number on my sim card it says 'some contact info will not be copied to your sim card'. My complaint is that when I checked help it says blackberry balance is switched on by administrator so I won't be able to save contact on my sim card until blackberry balance is off and I don't even have blackberry balance on my phone.

60

I cannot buy or upgrade somethings in blackberry world like Games or Apps. This is not acceptable.

Hi. I got an email that said I had changed my bbm id. I never changed my bbm id. How do I restore my previous bbm id? It was originally different and I need to contact BlackBerry customer service.

I have owned nothing but blackberry phones (4) and syncing has always been fairly straightforward. For the second time now I lost a years worth of photos, videos, passwords, to do list ect. I am not able to sync my BB Leap to my computer and I did see a warning concerning resetting the phone and to the best of my knowledge I have always said no to this so i do not know why my phone was reset. Please send me clear instructions on how to do this.

Ive been a Blackberry loyalist for years and not because they are perfect by any means. Ive had issues but this current one is an outrage. I recently had cause to use the amazon app which unknown to me had been pre-installed on my phone. I wanted to download a Cuba map app directly to the phone. To do this I had to activate the amazon app. When I attempted to do that the app wanted extreme permissions to access everything on my phone, my text messages, emails, phone lists, camera, pictures, microphone, documents. I denied those permissions and the app would not install.

After going around for a while trying to avoid giving those permissions a message popped up that I could change permissions after the app was installed and so I decided that was okay as long as I could change these permissions and limit access afterwards I would grant them this once. SO I activated the app and made my purchase and then went to change the permissions only to find the app would not let me change the permissions at all. This infuriated me because its tantamount to installing licensed spyware on my phone. It deletes any privacy I thought I had entirely.

This is unacceptable to me. SO I decided to delete the amazon app from my phone entirely. If I cant control it I wont use it. Only trouble is Blackberry in all its dubious wisdom had embedded the app in the phone and you CANT uninstall it once activated that 's it. It has unlimited access to everything you do on your phone. One of the main reasons I chose the Blackberry over the so much more popular and sometimes better supported APPLE and SAMSUNG phones was because of the supposed privacy factor that Blackberry promised to deliver. That is now out the window. The US government now has complete and unfettered access to everything on our Blackberry smart phones through its collection of data from Amazon. Privacy is out the window.

The worst of all is now that Blackberry is so unavailable to the public that there is nothing you can do about this. Unlike Apple who you can call pretty much 24/7 Blackberry hides in its ivory tower behind its anonymous website. So after being a Blackberry loyalist for years I'm now losing complete faith in the company and ready to give up my cherished Blackberry classic. Its no better than its competition anymore. Its promise of privacy is gone and I am not the only Blackberry user facing this issue. One the web site I saw dozens of others with this same issue with the Amazon app. I'll give Blackberry a couple of weeks to address this issue then I'm off to get a different phone if I cant find a way to block this app. So far I have de registered the phone from the Amazon website and declined permission for the app to run when minimized but that's not good enough for me. I want the app blocked entirely or removed from the phone.

Suddenly my touch is not at all working, it didn't fall down, nothing happened suddenly stopped. I used to love the Blackberry brand but now I am not so sure.

Hi got a new z10 unlimited red phone and dune a upgrade software on twice and now phone do not work properly as it did before the software upgrade so not happy with blackberry now the cost me a lot off money to buy and now do work properly when its no fault off mine but blackberry software so sort it out.

40

I started using BlackBerry 15 yrs ago, I put up with the jokes the ribbing and all that came with it, because it's Canadian. Well you guys dropped the ball big time, I can't download apps that are made for BlackBerry because I have a passport, my question why would you only give us a half a phone, have to reboot at least 2 times a week. Apps fluted and disappear. Now 8 months later you antiquate the passport. Now you launch a new phone for $900 without a plan, I have 2 more yrs for swap. How could RIM screw it up so bad, so disappointed. Blackberry your done!

40

I am using BlackBerry Z3 and my complaint is actually about using the phone itself. Whenever I'm in a rush or while using the phone it does things itself. Like the quick settings slides down automatically from the top and goes up then again slides down and goes up again. This repeats several times and I'm fed up with it. Stupid thing won't even allow me to message it just types on its own. Finally, the phone locks, when I try to open it the usual thing happens. The phone tries to open it for me but Alas, it's wrong. But my phone didn't give up it keep trying. stupid piece of garbage, I got frightened of losing my data and switched off my phone. Thank you BlackBerry for this stupid phone of yours.

Hi it's about a year I got a blackberry bold 5 as a gift and just after 3 months it's keys stopped working. I connected with a friend who's working with BlackBerry and since then it's been s race. Neither your service Center helps nor this friend if mine. I asked for a spare device so I can send this for repair but service Center never had one. I was a blackberry user for good 9 years but the pain I have gone through in last few months have been miserable. Imagine writing an urgent email with g, n, d, h not working.I am willing to upgrade to an bb classic or passport if I can get a compensatory discount by giving away this device. Or ill be glad if I can get a spare device and this one can be repaired

In December i bought blackberry z3. From Dec upto June i was just happy with it. July the phone started giving me problems, i took it back to mtn repair centre, after 3 daysi received a message that says they can't fix it because it is liquid damage, i phoned them and told them it can't be, because I've never dropped the phone in any liquid and the lady says when it's liquid damage we don't only mean water but there is lot of things that can cause that and i was told to pay 330 for them to give me my liquid damage phone. I've never dropped my phone on water or go inside where there's moisture with my phone, I'm really shocked and disappointed as i love and like blackberry.

20

Blackberry app download link is useless and keeps asking for password. I tried everyone I use and none works. Blackberry useless for sports apps like Chicago Bears and Chicago Blackhawks. Can't wait until I am eligible for a new phone - rest assured it will not be a Blackberry.

20

I have a 6-7 month new Blackberry passport with original blackberry case that slip out of my hand and fell approx 1.5 feet from the floor and the screen immediately cracked like a spider web. I called blackberry customer service and spoke w/ 3 different people including a supervisor and after many attempts to find a resolution.

I was told they can't warranty my phone as they could not prove i bought the phone from amazon.com or shop@blackberry.com. Mind you, I got this as a gift from my ex-girlfriend who i am no longer on talking terms. I

expressed my concerns of the possible design flaws in the blackberry case and quality of screen. There is no consideration from blackberry service to warranty their product. I'm extremely disappointed and upset.

20

I called up on Mon 4th May at approx 2.00pm and spoke to customer services. The lady was EXTREMELY unhelpful and had me waiting on the line for over 10 minutes without any assistance whatsoever! This is a disgrace to your company and I will be posting on Twitter and Facebook what inefficient service you provide your customers by employing such useless employees .

20

I bought a Z30 phone and loved it. Up until I was forced to upgrade new software. Now, the phone is sooo slow and the battery needs to be charged at least twice a day with normal use! If I am on the phone for more than 20 minutes I have to recharge it because the battery life is below 20%!!!

Blackberry should stop upgrading useless info on phones. If they feel the need to offer an upgrade, then it should be optional!! I have heard of many other complaints of the same nature. This is highly frustrating that Blackberry messed up a good phone that I loved! I guess this is their way of forcing me to upgrade my phone instead!

20

I have been using a Z30 for the past 5 months with zero problems. Since my last software upgrade, it has become a freaking nightmare. The browser is slow with Try Again error messages popping up, videos play on blank screen with sound only, the menu layout looks ancient...please help to get my original software back.

40

I'm a previous blackberry customer. Now i'm using blackberry Z10 for last 7-8 months. Still last month phone was good performance. But this month new OS was updated 10.3.1.1779. This OS is too erorr. I cant use phone properly because of this OS. Because when phone is switch off & then switch on, the previous data's has been deleted from the phone. so i cant use this OS for future. so please give me a solution for this problem,without solving this problem i cant continue with blackberry. Because some data's already deleted from this problem. So please give me your solution.. I'm waiting for your feedback.

40

In my blackberry messenger, all my contact picture is disappear, so how i can fix that problem? Please help me because this'is already running around 2 weeks.

40

Please do not get this phone. I got the phone a week ago but from day 1 its rebooting its self. I phoned my Vodacom supplier and they said they wil come and get the phone but til today no collection. I went on the net and saw the blackberry 9720 was launched in 2013 August and still they give the phones to clients. Now I must sit without a phone because Vodacom is coming to get the phone and only then the upgrade will be reversed.

20

I have blackberry z.10 on 15 June 2014. The handset is getting discharged within 3 hours. The service centre of agra is closed and the handset is getting heated too much as it appears there is a major problem. I complained to the shopkeeper from where I have purchased it, he told me to remove the the memory card but the problem doesn't resolve. Please help me to resolve this problem as I am getting major problems by heating of handset as it gives the feel of bursting.

40

All apps are removed automatically if blackberry z10 switched off. Very bad mobile. Nobody likes blackberry on present. Because many issues are running . Is there any formula to solve this problem? "all apps are removed automatically if blackberry switched off". Now I am going to share this issue through all social network. And YouTube

60

My new passport is not configuring with microsoft outlook contacts, tasks, memo and calendar. It get hanged after downloading the OS 10 program. There needs to be away of increasing the font of the BBM on Iphone. Blackberry has to work with apple to synchronise the settings. Please the font is way too small.

40

I have a Blackberry Passport with the most current operating system. Although I am very enthusiastic about the device, there is one very annoying problem. It is this: The majority of my contacts randomly disappear and then when I reboot the device will slowly reappear, though with all the favourites having been removed. This happens regularly and is quite frustrating because when this occurs there is no way to email or phone the contacts that have disappeared until they magically reappear. This should not be happening on this device.

20

I am using blackberry Z3 from last 10 months, But I facing problem in my Z3 regarding voice clearance. When I call someone or receive call I am not able to get the voice properly. I have complained 3 times at customer center but no RESULT. Two times touch screen has been replaced. Last 10 months 4 times mobile has been reached on customer center. I have tired. Please replace this phone. Blackberry is best Brand in World thats why I buy this phone. Please replace my phone.

i have a BB curve & have two google email address! both emails worked fine on my cell and showed on a common i message centre plus on individual centres! then BB said they didn't recognise my default email address! so put in a new password for both email address at least three times! some times the message was wrong password and sometimes message was i needed a more recent browser! how come until five hours ago my internet on my cell phone worked perfectly! i first downloaded mozilla three times then chrome then explorer with the same message of weak browser! i was going to buy a classic but i've changed my mind! i'm really disappointed because i've never had a major problem before with my two blackberry phones! do you have a solution? caroline

40

I have both the Z30 and Z10. We recently down loaded your update which took a few hours. Now our phone does not work like before. When you answer it there is some clicking that goes on then it connects - mean while the person calling us is on the other end ready to hang up because of the time it takes to connect after answering it. Do your people not test these updates before letting them out to your victims or rather customers. We are almost ready to jump ship - what gives - Black Berry use to lead the charge now they seem to be hiding in the back round.

40

I've had 6 different blackberry phones, 5 curves and 1 bold. Every single device has had problems were it just switches itself off. Worst phones ever I'd rather have a nokia 3210 at least the battery lasts a day and doesn't turn itself off. Certainly wouldn't recommend blackberry smartphones to anyone because they really aren't that smart. F'ing useless in fact! I've spent a couple hundred pound on your devices and not one of them work. Blackberry can F OFF!!!!

40

So here i am, using bllackberry messenger on android, and suddenly i am added to a so called 'Multiperson chat' and then here i am complaining that this feature is probably worthless in this app because this feature hangs the phone, it causes delay in message reception and delivery and causes issues. In my views, this feature is an extra feature that should be removed from the app since we already have a feature called 'Group chats' in the same application.

60

The devices switch off at will even if battery is full. Batteries power storage is very weak and overall performance very bad. I need my two devices to be recalled and be replaced with better models

20

I like my Z30. But I am real ticked off with your last two software up dates. Especially the switching off the notification. On the old software one just turned it off. Now there's all these different options.. I personally have to restart the phone every day. Please can you put in just one switch for the sound thanks

I bought a Porsche Design Blackberry P9982 in Hong Kong in Oct. 2014 , unfortunately the mirror surface broke so I called Blackberry Service for help. They collected my mobile by courier for repair last Dec., then I waited and waited and no reply.After 30 day I sent their Customer service for inquiry , unbelievably they didn't know where my phone ! I kept to ask them to give me updates via emails, sometime they did(but answer is : They still try to contact some departments for information) , but sometimes they didn't reply me at all. I sent complaint emails and asked them to find a senior manager to explain the case, finally there was a supervisor Mark replied my email at 1/29 , but there is no result now.

I sent a official complaint email again 3 days ago and asked Mark to give a reply, and also asked their manager to contact me, guess what? NO Reply Again.I really cannot believe the kind of service will be happened in Blackberry, It already took almost 50 days and I still don't know where is my phone and when I will be return. DO anyone know where can I contact for official Blackberry Complaint Department?

If I wanted an android I would have bought an android!!!! Let me start with that. The latest update to the blackberry ios turned my phone into some kindergarten looking talk down to me like I'm an idiot display that infuriates me. I specifically bought the blackberry because I hate that ridiculous design feature found on all android devices. I know blackberry has less apps now but at least it`s not an android so I went with that when the retarded makers of iphone decided to go with that "let's treat everyone like they're morons" idea too. I have been with blackberry for years and never once regretted my decision until now. I want a professional looking phone, not something that would appeal to someone in diapers. WTF is wrong with you people. bring back that sophisticated professional look, or at the very least the most recent display before this disgusting update.

Well i purchased blackberry Z3 with IMEI number 352650061878688 last year on 19 July, 2014 and the software has been corrupted second time and there is some problem on the both the sides of the screen as seems to be crack and i told this to the retailer also at the time of purchasing and he told me that it won't effect in using and the retailer in Jumbo Electronics in V3S Mall near Nirman Vihar metro station. And the phone hangs also as applications start closing automatically and camera also starts operating and again i need to reboot the phone so use the applications. So kindly request you the change the handset. And yesterday when i visited the service center T touch in Shakarpur, Delhi and submitted the handset there and they asked me to collect it today i.e 21st Feb, 2015 and when i visited today i found it closed. So i want you kindly take some action against them so that in future no other consumer should suffer.

Hi,
Its been 12 days with no response from Blackberry folks to return my cellphone after getting it repaired. immense follow-ups with same response everytime "we will get back to you... we will get back to you"... I am forced eventually to write this draft since I am completely fed up with Balckberry service. I handed over my Blackberry 9360 phone complaint registered on the name of ROHIT GUPTA over 12 days ago & several follows-up made over your call support NO# but no update. I requested for callback for an update twice & I was promised to get me an update , no one really bothers to do so..

If this is the service delivered for BUSINESS phones, I am sorry I will never deal with Blackberry anymore . I want my cellphone back ASAP. For God sake, if someone is looking into these complainst, pls atke necessary actions.

I purchased a Blackberry Style phone in May 2011 My phone doesn't keep a charge so I went to the Sprint store to purchase a replacement battery and I was told that Blackberry is no longer providing batteries to the Stores for my phone. I was then referred to a website where I could a purchase a refurbished battery for my phone or my second option I was told was to buy a new phone. Needless to say I am very upset with that fact that I cannot replace my blackberry battery. How can your company sell phones to the public and not provide and important componant to ensure this products ability to work properly.

I have a blackberry 9900. It came with an app for the Emergency alert system. Reasonable thought. The problem I have with this app is there is no way to make adjustments during tests! I received 47 texts at top volume!!!! There was no way to stop them, no way to turn down the volume, no way to delete the app! Customer service was no help! I almost threw the phone through the wall after it happened again even after I turned off my phone! I'm going to contact blacberry myself tomorrow and send them back their phone and tell them where they can put it!!!!

I purchased a blackberry play book a little over a year ago. The USB port went out soon after. I was under warranty and was sent a new one. Few days later the same thing went wrong. I was angry and threw it in water. I really enjoyed the blackberry even more so than the new iPad I've purchased now. I don't know if this is a problem that you have found out about and hopefully resolved. I do have all my recites box and tablet..i dont expect you to send me a new one. I'm the one that let the warranty run out. The jester would be nice though. I would truthfully like to continue
to enjoy and recommend your product. I will hold on to it all just in case.will be happy to send it all back. Just send a box please. Thanks for your time, Michael Shawn Neill. 613 Washington st. Karnak il.

I renewed my vodacom contract (Vodashop Kenilworth centre) in June 2010 and received a blackberry curve. On 29 October I took it in because the keyboard keys wouldn't work. I got an SMS to say it was forwarded to JHB because a higher level of repairs was needed. 4 weeks later I called to enquire about it and was told a replacement phone was at Vodashop KC. I collected it and couldn't get email and BBM to work - and was told by the help desk that the phone cannot be registered and that I need to take the 'new' phone back.

Two weeks later I call to enquire (no sms received) and am told it is at the shop - I collect it last night, phone the help desk to set up email and BBM only to be told that it cannot be registered and could possibly be a handset that was 'previously registered on another network' and that it has to go back. So, almost 2 months (come 29th Nov) without the Blackberry, but still having to pay all related charges... I'm taking it back to Vodashop KC tomorrow - am not holding my breath...

My experience: the customer just doesn't matter...Can't wait for the contract to end June 2012 so that I can go elsewhere...

I received my upgrade phone (Blackberry 8520 curve) and a 3G sim card on the 28th of MarchÂ2012. From the 29th of March to the 12th of April i battled with MTN to activate the sim card. First of all i phoned 808 from my cell to do the activation on my sim swop, they informed me to phone the activation dept. From the 29th of March until the 4th of April they told me the following, 1. sim wrong, they will log it so that they will deliver a new sim card 2. technical dept busy to sort out problem. 3) technical dept got big back log of 3. technical dept got big back log of problems to solve 4. iI was also told to switch of both my sim cards as it is interfering with the network. 5. After 2 ref no`s (85504683 & 85543655 ) they tell me that they can not help me.

I must phone 808 and use option 0. For 8 telephone calls they told me it will take 2 - 24 HOURS. Every time i switch on the phone the following message comes up ( sim not provisioned 2 ) in the other phone (sim registration failed) Every time i phoned 808 from 4th of April to the 12th of April i got different excuses as well 1. something wrong with sim card 2. creating a new sim card no, but not a new sim card 3. invalid sim card 4. 2 - 24 HOURS for activation. 5. After another 2 ref no`s (85553048 & 85792617 ) they could still not sort it out.

On the 12th of April and 360 HOURS of waiting i got agrivated and drove out to Midrand. For the first time i spoke to a white guy, he helped me straight away and the very same sim that is faulty and invalid was activated within 2 HOURS. So i don`t know if your non white staff is not capable of doing their jobs. Please give them some training. I realy hope that MTN will do something about this matter. Well done Braam from Allendale. Hope MTN can employ more white people like you. It did not even take you 10 Minutes to sort out the activation from your side. MTN have to give you credit for this matter.

I am an accountant student at Stellenboch University in South Africa.. I entered into a two year contract at a Cellphone company in SA (CELL C) . The contract is for two years and I was given a Blackberry 9380 touch screen, and eight days after receiving the handset I started experiencing problems..

I went to the service provider on the eight day of receiving handset with my first complain.. ie the camera of the Blackberry 9380 curve not working... I was told by a manager of the CELL C company that the "warrantee" has expired, which is ABSOLUTELY madness!!!..

Eight days after receiving a supposed brand new product, i had no alternative but to hand handset in for six to eight weeks for repairs....Besides the disgrace of this product, obviously I was not able to hand phone in as I am a female student living in a dangerous country and I cannot be without a cell phone..

A few days later I again I was forced to go back to Cell C" (my service producer) , when the phone started "freezing"/stalling... And again complained to same manager that now barely a few days later I was having another problem with phone; this time it was that I'll be halfway into a transaction (BBM, or a phone call, or SMS)' and phone would just stop working...

Again I was told "CELL C" is not responsible for technical failures to handset , and handset has to be handed in for repairs , which is totally unacceptable!!!!!!! Therefore....

  1. I demand answers from Blackberry now as this handset is a brand new product and should not be malfunctioning....and especially not after a few days.
  2. How can blackberry put a product on the market which so inconveniences to this extend, when this handset is suppose to have be a new product which is suppose to function for the two year period (the period cellphone contracts are signed in SA) when after 8 days I have had problems with it?
  3. How can i be expected to pay 2 years on a contract, yet i don't have a functional phone?

So I demand that this matter is addressed.. I have exhausted all attempts in try to get this matter resolved, as I demand a new FUNCTIONAL phone, so I sincerely hope you will assist me.

N also I'm requird 2 nw on my days off 4rm work go n sit at a fone outlet n waste away my day simply 2 send it in 4 repairs. I'm xtremly disapointd that I upgraded 2 a blackberry 9300. N 2 think that d 8520 neva gave me a migraine lyk d way d 9300 is givin me.

I have a BB 9300 and freezes all the time and also has the famous tiny black clock thingy in the middle of the screen and you have to wait until it disappears or have to take the battery out, put it back in before using it but then when it comes bakc up the tiny clock is there again (it is sooooo frustrating).

Lately now my phone switches itself off and on for no reason. Sometimes when it decides to do its funny things I battle to switch off or on.

I just got my new Q10 few days ago in UAE, Dubai. The skype is not working keeps hanging and the youtube also loads 2 seconds only then freezes ( I have never installed any programs _the phone settings are as purchased)

I had bought Balckberry Curve-8520 last year on 28 September 2010 and this year on 26 September 2011 in the morning I had found my phone was totally black out.We showed it to center at Faridabad in Manhattan Mall on 26 September 2011 that means that it is in Warranty period and than we have been told that the same has to be sent to Gurgaon for locating the problem then they will tell us the charges that needs to be incurred for it than after around 20 days we went to check the status so we have been told that we have to pay Rs 9300 to get it repaired and Rs 200 to take the phone back.

First of all we have never been asked that we have to pay Rs 200 even if the phone does not get repaired and that to be they we telling us the phone has detected water drops inside.I just want to bring this to your notice that my phone was completely laminated so there is no point of water drops inside and second of all it is in warranty period than why we were asked to pay Rs 9300 and Rs 200.I completely want a solution to the problem asap otherwise I had to bring this matter to Consumer Court.

I am really unhappy with the service provided by the Blackeberry,being a valuable customer and while showing the phone at center in Faridabad we have been told by the Blackberry exceutive that these phones are like that and who suggested us to take these phones. Kindly take a hard step as I need my phone completely working or new phone where I am not going to pay even a single penny.

i have phone vodacom about 60 Time now and they still cant get thsi shit sorted out everyone i know has been having problems with there blackberry and slow speed the other day i got a reply from vodacom on face book telling me what is the problem i should be geting the best speeds due to i go onto the internet at night now if the best speed is 6.0KB/S then vodacom must go fly a kite i have a blackberry 9300 its got 3G where the phone is marked to handle HSDPA up to 3.2MB. i think vodacom has lost the ball and need to explain to me how the hell they ask us money for such crap services....

I was recently exposed to fraud, when MTN allowed an unknown source to use my identity to open an account, this then lead to MTN debiting my bank account with substantial amounts of monies. Okay so here we go... On the 3rd of January 2012 I received a payment and soon after a bank notifyme sms, at which time I noticed that my account was missing a large amount of money and this is when I went to the bank.

The bank then told to go to a MTN branch in Bloemfontein, to question these outrageous amounts of money (seeing as though I had never been a member of MTN, I have been with Vodacom my whole life). When I arrived at the branch they couldnt access anything on me as I didnt have a MTN cellphone number, at which time she told me to go to the customer MTN enquiries outlet. At this outlet it came to my attention that someone had opened an account with my name, my identity number and my bank account details, but with their own home address and their occupation.

Now, according to law, isnt MTN supposed to RICA every customer and ask for a copy of their identity as well as 3 months salary slips/bank statements (with all of this information, surely my identity couldnt be stolen?).

My bank also told me that they cannot reverse amounts (which costs me R30.00 for each transaction reversed) that are further than 45 days ago. So I still need to be reimbursed for October 2011 R429.00 (when the account was opened), November 2011 R550.00 and December 2011, plus this whole process has cost me about R200.00 in bank service costs and a lot of grief. I am really sorry for venting, but Im sure you understand my frustration as I am in no way even linked to MTN. The problem lies with the background checks that took place and surely the RICA system wasn't implemented by the staff member who participated in the fraud.

I have had to drive back and forth to try and resolve this unnecessary situation (MTN stores, bank, copies of my details, police station etc.) and now I would firstly like to be reimbursed in full, including all bank charges and I demand to know how I was involved in this whole ordeal (I want to see the copy of my ID and the RICA documents that were completed).

I purchased Blackberry 9700 on date 23/11/2010 from Spice Retail Ltd,C/211 Dada Bawa Ganga Nath Market,Munirka Village of Rs.24,350. After 2months,i.e, in the month of Feb only i started facing problems in handset like keypad not working,camera not working,phone getting hang very badly.I then went to Gurgaon service center they kept my phone for about a week & rectified it. I faced lots of problems in that week but still i was thinking that now my life will be hassle free but it was my default that i thought like this.Work order no-gur/bb/11/04048

Again after 3months,i.e,in the month of July,i faced the same problem.Then again i have to went to Gurgaon service centre for the same.Now they are making their own stories that handset have problem due to water & all,which actually sounds very rubbish. When this problem happened for the first time they didn't mentioned anything liked that. I am actually very pissed off & i don't have time to go to service centre again & again. My phone is still under warranty & i need new handset as i am actually getting torture both mentally & financially.

I have purchased my BB curve phone on 17th of june,2011 i.e last month,I really loved BB. Its amazing 2 use. I am so used to BB,and i have started all the BB services in it. But after 2-3 days i realized that my bb keypad is little loose as well as the back body is little loose. So i visited contacted service center 10 days back and they told me that you have 2 submit your cell for 10-12 days for its reparation. It is impossible for me 2 give my cell for 10 days, because all my work is through it.. Ad now the new problem has raised that my charger is not working,so i have 2 charge my cell through laptop, that is really irritating. I have heard so good about bb and now i am facing these problems, this was not expected from Blackberry company.

I am badly frustrated & you are forcing me to take some step towards me or your company.

I recently bought a Blackberry 9360 and the battery life is terrible! I charge it at least 3 times a day and each time it goes from fully charged to the flashing red low battery within a few hours. I previously had the 8520 and use my new phone in the exact same way (call, text, facebook, twitter)as I did with the previous one so its not due to overuse or having any extra settings switched. I have sent my phone in for service already and the was issued a new 9360 and I have the same problem. All my applications and settings are up to date as well. I have researched about this model and now realise it is the phone model itself that is the issue not just my phone as many others seem to have the same issue. The 9360 was issued with a 1000mAh battery which is far less than what my 8520 was issued with and that phone functioned on a lower resolution and features. I have seen it recommended that one replaced the current 1000mAh battery with a more powerful 1500mAh battery which will solve the problem. It is not my service provider I have an issue with as they only sell the Blackberry brand, it is Blackberry I have an issue with as they are the ones who provide the products which will be sold. I have resorted to using my 8520 again as the 9360 is impossible to use due to the battery life.

I would like Blackberry to provide a 1500mAh battery so that I may use my 9360 again as it was not a cheap purchase. I am extremely disappointed with the battery quality Blackberry has provided with this phone. Hopefully this problem can be rectified and I can once again be a proud Blackberry owner.

Thank you in advance for your response,
Julia Shekleton.

I just got the Blackberry playbook tablet. Although I did not use because I am making the necessary update and had my first disappointment. The fact is that before purchasing the product (via internet), I entered the blackberry.com site to make sure that the product would meet my needs. I found that has good hardware configuration and what would be of great importance to me, connection to mobile networks. It was a bad surprise to receive the equipment and verify that there was no where to connect my micro sim card.

Ask RIM to change or delete this page http://docs.blackberry.com/en

It induces the consumer to believe that the tablet necessarily possess this technology, because it has no other models only 16/32/64gb settings. I'm really sad because I have to buy other equipment that meets my needs. Perhaps removing this page other consumers like me do not be fooled.

Since I purchased my Blackberry 9300 Curve in May 2011, I have had no problems with it and have not skipped a month of the R60 BIS bundle. Since then I have become a part of a mobile website that allows one to download American tv series and actual is the highlight feature of my phone to me. For a while now, though, I have not been able to download anything about 40MB, and every time I attempt to do so, an "http Error: 403 Forbidden" pops up, telling me that the item is too large to be requested for download. I researched the error and that your ISP might have set a limit which would prevent you from being authorised from downloading larger files.

Did Blackberry put a limit on our downloads and, if so, why? Likewise, if it is an error on the part of Blackberry RIM, why have we not been informed, warned or notified? Most individuals who own Blackberries have purchased their Blackberry specifically for the convenient and UNCAPPED internet service, offered by Blackberry RIM. When this is feature is altered in anyway, loyal customers become very displeased. I believe that such a move on the part of Blackberry RIM will most likely result in the loss of both existing and prospective clients if the problem is not resolved.

Not simply over a download limitation but for the fact that none of the Blackberry mobile phone holders have been informed, warned or notified. I have seen many complaints of this specific "http Error: 403 Forbidden" by many Blackberry owners all over all sorts of websites and am shocked that nothing had been done about it already. I sincerely hope that someone with diligence, competence and efficiency recieves my complaint so that a potential problem for Blackberry RIM can be avoided.

Dear Alexandra Zagury, Managing Director for South & Southern Africa. Palazzo Towers West, Monte Casino, William Nicol Drive, Fourways, Johannesburg, South Africa 2086.

Bold 9700 completely white screen since upgrade of software. Since around the start of this week I have had a problem that started with my screen going white after powersave. After pressing a few buttons I discovered the mute button would allow me to get back to my home screen after it resumed.

This kept on happening then after a while my screen developed another problem where the pixels from a previous screen would show after I have pressed an option. Moving the mouse cleared the pixels, The problem got more and more irritating so I decided to upgrade my phone software by connecting to the computer. Instead of this solving the problem it has kept the screen permanently white in a state where I cannot even receive calls! Can anyone help me?

I was given the Bald 9700 as a gift from my Gran Mother in February 2012 which was still sealed in the box. She had been traveling all over the world prier to returning back to South Africa. We have gone through all her possessions and have not found the invoice or any paper work for the phone. My Gran Mother has passed away in the mean time and cant get any other information. I know there is a 2 year warranty on the phone.

I took the phone to BlackBerry Customer service in Midrand (Vodaworld) they told me that the phone needed to be replaced. When my phone was scanned in they told me that they now could do nothing for me and did not want to help me in any way at all. Whom could I contact in SA to have the blackberry 9700 fixed. I received the Phone as a gift with a Vodacom card in the phone.

The IMEI of the phone is 352479040804064, Please could someone contact Myself on the above number and inform me where I could have this phone seen to and sorted out.

Best Regards,
Trevor Terblanche

My experience with Rogers Telephone Service today in regards to my blackberry 9700. I upgraded to the most recent version of blackberry software a few days ago, since this update, my phone battery drains 3x faster than normal resulting in me charging my phone at noon and again in the evening and then a 3rd time overnight.... I also have been receiving text/voicemail text messages hours (up to 12+) after people have sent them...So I go to a rogers store at st. vital mall and the guy doesn't do anything, just writes down a number for me to call (TECH SUPPORT)...FANTASTIC

So i call the number, After trying several times to navigate through their automated voice options i finally speak to an operator (she helps me out by telling me the following: 1) I have to DOWNGRADE to the lower version i previously had due to the fact that the latest version my phone can't handle...sweeeeett. 2) I then have to turn off my phone after our phone call, take out the battery, let it rest for 2 minutes while she resets my network...fine, so I do that.)

She then sends me an email telling me how to DOWNGRADE my version of blackberry...ok sounds good, So i follow the instructions in the email and low and behold, when i have downgraded, i have lost all of my contacts as well as all of my bbm contacts...AREEEE YOOUUU F-IINNGGG KIIDDIIINNNGGGGG MMEE BLLACKKKBBERRYYYY)....I am getting an iphone, I BETTER BE either allowed to cancel my contract free of charge after this terrible experience...feel free to comment oh and if everyone would be so kind to text me their number and say who it is...that would be just peachy lol (my pin also is XXXXXXXX) PLEASE RE-ADD ME)...JESUS

I own a blackberry 9900 and I'm constantly facing problems with this phone. The phone keeps rebooting automatically. I have always been part of the blackberry family but I'm not happy at all with the quality of service provided by blackberry and this is not attracting me to continue using a blackberry. I would really appreciate if blackberry can offer good service to people suffering with their bb electronic items. I thank you in advance for your co-operation.

I've had my BlackBerry 9300 for about a year now. I've tolerated it until now. Within the last two weeks or so it randomly shuts down. It goes dead. I have to pull the battery. Once it reboots, it shows a good charge, but it continues to shut itself down. I've replaced the battery with a brand new one, but to no avail. I realize I'm out of the warranty window, so I'm stuck with a blackberry 'brick.' I am extremely disappointed in the quality and performance of BB phones and will switch to either android or the iphone asap. It appears this is a very common occurance for BB, but they refuse to make it right -- this buisiness model will be their downfall.

It won't be for the lack of customer complaints that caused the extinction of the BlackBerry. If they truely want to succeed, then they should recall phones with this problem, then fix the problem -- seems simple and honest to me. But, we live in a world where the customer doesn't come first any more. I had purchased a blackberry curve 9300 handset, but the phone was defective as the screen had bubbles and the main screen was loose. I had given the phone for replacement on 16th nov morning and was told that i will get the new set in one day after the approval from the company.

Now it has been two days and the service center person says that the company person who is to give approval has gone on a holiday for indefinate period and they do not know when he will be back, but I have to leave for kolkata tomorrow on 19th and hope to get my phone as soon as possible.

hi my self manpreet singh ,i m living in australia, i bought bbstorm2 from 3(network service) nearly 1 year and 4 months before. when i bought just after 1 month ,accidently i broke droped it and broke its screen . at that time i got some cracks but it was still working. i didnt have any problem with its touch screen. at that time i asked 3 cuctomer care to get it repaired and they were asking me $175 to get it done. at that time my financial condition was not good thats why i couldnt get it done. but after that it was working properly . but 2 weeks before its camera stop working. when ever i try to start it it says that close other applications first then try to start it again. i tried it many times but it was still the same.

after i called 3 customer care the guy he tried to fixed that problem by sync and rebooting it but he couldnt. after he replied me that go to some 3 store and give this handset to get it repaired bcos it was still under technical warranty or gurrantee as per aggrement for 24 months. i already submit my mobile to the 3 store at shoping centre near to my house with name as highpoint. but today morning i got reply from them that they cant repair it bcos as it got physical damage so it is not coming under any kind of gurrantee or warranty. and they said that this has been told to them from blackberry.

and they ask me to pay $350 to get it done. thats not fair i told them that i m not asking them to repair the screen i m asking for camera. but the customer care guy said to me the same thing again. now i dont understand what should i do. if i spend $350 i can have same phone secondhand with very good condition. but the thing is not that. my phone was under warranty and they should have repair that. the friend of mine had same problem with his phone but that was iphone and was still under warranty ,and he get his repair done may be apple have more facility for customers as compare to blackberry. i was feeling my self lucky that i have different phone as compare to all my friend. but this bad experience made me to think like that for blackberry.

i feel sorry to say that but thats why blackberry is not much comman as compare to iphone. i was thinking that my next phone willbe bbtorch but my all dreams got flushed with this experience. i dont have any hope for any kind of reply but still i m leaving my details if blackberry can do any thing for me then please.

My Blackberry Bold is 1 1/2 years old. I have had nothing but problems with this phone. I have talked to so many people regarding this problem and there seems to be know one who can help me. I love my blackberry but I am ready to switch to another phone. I thought I would try one last time to speak with someone about this matter. I am not sure what, if anything you can do to help me. I would love to hear from someone real soon regarding this matter. Thank you.

I joined the blackberry family in 2011 and was happy with the service and the phone up until I decided to upgrade to Blackberry 9300. I had my BIS set up, and got right to downloading, my first hiccup was that it was extremely slow, but other than that I had no complaints. And then eventually at times when downloads became fast I couldn't help but notice that my airtime too was fast disappearing. After losing airtime of R50 in just 2 days I decided to call the MTN customer service. However the woman I spoke to wasn't of much assistance, as all she could tell me was that blackberry now charges its clients for downloads. Now, I would like to know if this is true and if so why we were not notified

I have a Blackberry bold 9780, which was purchased from wind mobile for pretty penny, when it has just come out. Three months after I got the phone the screen stopped working. It was still brand new phone, fully taken care of. Blackberry has identified the problem with troubleshooting over the phone that it’s a hardware issue but they refuse to do anything about it…as the phone was unlocked with the code from wind. Wind mobile refuses to assist as I’m no longer a wind client.
This is ridiculous, I’ve always supported blackberry and never had to use their warranty or service before but I will definitely NOT buy a blackberry again as their service is horrible.

I have taken out a contract with MTN for a Blackberry Curve 9360. This contract was taken out on the 24th December 2011 and within 3 days had to return the phone 3 times. The phone kept restarting itself and didn't stop. We were advised that it could be a bad batch and were given a 4th 9360 from another batch. Well guess what it is now the 16 January 2012 and the 4th phone is now doing the same thing. It just reboots itself and keeps restarting. This is so irritating as now we have to go back to MTN and see what they can do. We were also advised that at the branch where we got the Curve 9360 in that period they had received 11 exchanges which surely shoudl ring alarms. If the phone is faulty take it off the market. It is time and energy wasted going back and forth to service providers.

I got my daughter a blackberry curve on contract , for the first week it worked fine , then after that it kept displaying sos initialisation failed. For 3 weeks she couldnt use the phone , except to play music , the phone she dropped and after i took it to carphone warehouse to ask about why the sos was displayed , they sent it off and then informed me the phone was damaged due to ebign dropped? How the hell can that be when it was not working before hand , I was told it would cost me £170 to fix , which was out of order as i only had it a week and it worked only for a short while , then .

I collects the phone after stating i will not be paying the huge bill , and no repair was done , i brigns it hoem only to find that it worked again . then it kept displaying sim card error , and again all was sorted . I think it is disgusting that people are treated this way and are expected to pay for a contract when the flippign thing doesnt work , i wish now i neevr opted for a blackberry. It's an outrage

I am not sure if submitting a complaint helps or not cause does Blackberry manufacturers actually red the complaints and respond?

Bb isd seriously pissing me off! Now AGAIN when I'm downloading from the internet,it takes forever to download! This was a previous problem and now again! I pay for BIS in other words Blackberry Internet Service,and that's what I get for paying??? The service sucks! Everyday I hear of more people leaving the BB world! And I'm sure I'm not the 1st one complaining about this,but you guys just don't give a crap!

Yes For me i am sending this to you very first time and don't understand how under warranty phone not acknowledged becouse of recipt, its related to my blackberry device 9780 (white cooler) EMI- 357175042399369 and pin - 277558EA bought in month of February and gifted to me by my friend on FEB 2012 on birthday, now on very next day (20th Feb that phon was non operational so blackberry offered me a new phon with replacement and now this is working very fine, but from last month my device Batery is hardly giving me backup for 4 hours, on 16/02/2013 when I reached on blackberry
Service center. Ground Floor, 739/1, Parshvanath Building, Opposite To Motorola Building, Old Gurgaon Road, Gurgaon Sector-14, Gurgaon-122001, Mr. Lokesh and Saurabh singhaniya refused to handle it due non availability of recipt which was wrongly taken by at the time of hand set replacement, that time I was not at all aware that they should not. Suppose to take it, as per service center also my phon was under warranty,

This is relly frustrating that you are not going as per your system and a peace of paper is so important rather then ur customers... What I will do for this phone which is giving me backup for a maximum 4 hours..,

I did not receive a disc with my blackberry containing the software needed to use my blackberry as a modem. I have to download it from the internet but how am I supposed to connect to the internet and download the software if my blackberry is my only form of internet and can not connect on the pc because I can't get the software

On the 2nd day after purchase, I handed the handset(9320) to the shop from where I purchased the BB handset. He received the handset in healthy condition without any scratches, etc. From that day, he followed up with service center and committed that replacement of handset will be given. But after 15 days, I was handed over same handset by shop owner with its motherboard replaced and scratches on the body, which I refused to accept. My handset is with the shop owner who is refusing for replacement inspite of committment. Replacement(DOA) was also promised by Mr. Chirag(Blackberry service center, Thane, Mumbai).

I have a blackberry curve 9300 and bought in last year since then I have had to take it back to the shop where I bought it from to get it fixed 4 times and twice they have give me a brand new blackberry curve 9300 that have the same problems as the first one I had. The problems are when on the internet you can't have two pages on at once for a long time because after five minutes it shuts the page down without worning you, it even does it when I have one page open. The pages take ages to load when trying to get on a page and is only quick for the first couple of minutes. Also the phone freezes from time to time and the tracking pad is un controlable in the wind, yes the wind it moves by its self when you take your finger off it. If my phone brakes or has a fault again can I ask for a different modle phone or get commpensation for being mest about so much when I though I was purchesing a desent phone. Thanks
