Before leaving the US, I upgraded my data package to Global. I had to speak with Tech support to get my SIM card activated. I didn't understand that...I assumed the SIM card would have to be activated at purchase to even use the phone.
Since crossing the border along Lake Superior area, I have had absolutely NO service. I am staying in Thunder Bay, Ontario and have traveled around the town and outside, in several directions, within about a 15-20 mile radius.
I'm told that Rogers is the provider for this area and I believe I saw that somewhere in my phone when I was searching through options to try to figure this out.
This is what I currently see in my phone...
In Manage Connections the following is "checked"....
Mobile Network Roaming (roaming in the green)
When I click into Services Status I see the following...
Mobile Voice
Status:roaming
Connection: Mobile Network
Blackberry Internet Service (and Enterprise Servicer)
Connection: not connected
Mobile Network
1x
Mobile Network Provider
Roaming
Wi-Fi Network
Active Profile: not Connected
SSID: not connected
Type: not connected
Bluetooth
Off
When I click Mobile Network Options...
Data Services On
While Roaming On
Mobile Network: Roaming
Network Selection Mode: Automatic
Network Technology: Global
At the moment, I am not in a good location (basement apartment of a house) but as I said, I am not getting service anywhere.
Thanks for any help with this!

First you do not need to be on the sim card to be in cananda in most places. The most of canada is on CDMA. I would advise swiching back over to CDMA and test it that way. Also make sure even though your on a Global plan that you have the Cananda price plan as this is much more cost friendly.

Since my original post, I have been able to get a connection using WiFi. I can make phone calls and use Blackberry Messenger. I got some emails, when I first connected to WiFi but now I can't get any. I still cannot connect at all without WiFi.
I called global support...they checked setting, told me to take out battery and wait 15 minutes. Still the same...only phone and BB messenger work...WiFi only. Tech said to call back from another phone, which I don't have.
When in Canada in the past, I never had problems using my ENVY .. texts and phone only, of course.

As much as I hate to say this. I believe you would need to have your text reset. But for that to be done you would have to be in the usa for it to update. But thats the limit of my knowledge of the issue.
