Wireless network coverage troubleshooting

I cannot connect to a wireless network

Try performing the following actions:

•Verify that your SIM card is inserted in your BlackBerry® device correctly.

•Verify that you have turned on the connection to the wireless network.

•Verify that you are connected to your wireless service provider's network. If you switched wireless networks manually, your device remains connected to that wireless network until you select your wireless service provider's network again.
