Cell C does not support Blackberry.Change your network to Vodacom or MTN.
When you move to Vodacom or MTN you have to activate the BIS service which cost you R59 pm.The R59pm is for unlimited data,browsing,email,facebook,twitter,etc.

Please note only Vodacom offers the blackberry service to PREPAID CUSTOMERS.
Also only use the Blackberry browser on you BB for unlimited browsing and NOT Vodafone OR MTN.

Do yourself a favour, and don't use CellC for anything... not a damn thing. Retain sanity.

Yes you can, just go to settings, under TCP/IP it will ask for an APN, put in Cell-C's APN for internet access (like virgin=vdata, vodacom=internet, mtn=mymtn etc etc)

and save and go on. It will browse fine and apps can connect to internet. Obviously not blackberry services will work though.

like I SAID internet is internet if the device supports it...yoh

I was with cell c for years, not that bad. Moved to MTN with my company phone, worst service ever.

I must disagree, iv been on mtn for a few years now and I have not had any problems with them at all. In fact, MTN even went out of their way to help solve my problem. My blackberry got messed up and had to send it in for repairs. It takes them around 4 - 6 weeks to replace the phone. I told them that I cannot wait that long without a blackberry. Now my dads contract was due for an upgrade in April next year. I spoke to the manager at mtn and explained my situation and he allowed me to upgrade my dads contract now (premature upgrade, 5 months before next upgrade) and get a new blackberry phone while mine was in repairs. Tbh, i think thats terrific service, now im using the new blackberry while i await to get mine back from repairs
