Hi,

Ive just got hold of a Blackberry Pearl. I have put my Vodafone Sim card into it and it says 'gprs' in the top right hand corner.

I have no data plan but I understand that Blackberry's check for new emails etc. Would this be the case if I didn't have any email accounts set up and just used the phone to text/call?

Thanks

If you don't have your e-mail account set up, how can it check for e-mails?

When you say got hold of, do you mean the phone is second hand?

Do a factory reset to get rid of all the settings or just delete any existing mail accounts, should there be any left on the phone from the previous owner.

Blackberrys don't check for emails, email are "pushed" to them if you have a BES or BIS service. The signal "gprs" indicates you are on a gprs network. If your phone had push email on it, which it doesn't, it would indicate "GPRS".
