Hi all

Im new here so forgive me if this has been answered befor, couldnt find it anywhere...:confused:

I have an 8520 but cant seem to get google talk to work on it... gtalk works fine on 2 of my friends 8520's but not on mine... it says "service not enabled for this handheld"

I have bbservice activated & all my other apps work fine...

I read that it could be servicebook problems but vodacom has sent me the latest service books...

Any help would be much apreciated...

Thanx
 
hi

i have the same problem. i've downloaded it and reinstalled it over 5 times but still no luck?
is it the gtalk requires more than just BIS? cos im currently running on the vodacom prepaid R59p/m... but it seems to work fine on my friends BB8520 also running on vodacom prepaid R59/pm.

please help!
 
I am also not having any luck, I actually gave up and uni-installed the application, either it is blocked for South african - try register your google account in another country like United states
 
No my google account is South African (us english though) and I have no problems with google talk and it works fine with BIS. Perhaps try another app that also does google talk (check app world). I really have no idea why you're having this problem. Is everyone who's having this issue on Vodacom or is there any MTN 8520 user having the issue too?
 
Hi

Having the same issue, google talk not working application error "service unavailable" , after much searching I believe it has to do with the service books. Will see what I can figure out

I was not able to log into gtalk on my BB 8520.
I ended up using nimbuzz which is really good as i have all my IM accounts on that now.
 
Hi Richard, could you please explain how I could go about getting the proper service books? I've contacted vodacom and they were no use. I'd really appreciate it.

I don't want to use nimbuzz as it keeps on getting disconnected and if I have to use that abomination known as MXit for BlackBerry for any longer to access GTalk I may go insane.

Please help
 
hello has any1 found out where to download the service books for gtalk? or maybe an older version 2.4.xx?

i have been searching for about an hour now and all links lead right back to the latest version!

pls help!
 
I'm still having this issue. Got my BB 8529 this week and everything but Google Talk works. Did anyone find a solution?
 
I have the similar problem, using same vodacom prepaid 59 bb bundle. I think there is a problem in vodacom bb service. I tried their customer care, they simply said, gtalk wont work, and asked me to use nimbus. Is it true ?
