5Connect to the Sprint National Network
When you turn on your BlackBerry® device by pressing the Power button, it should automatically connect to the Sprint National Network.
To connect to the network successfully, your Sprint service must be active, and you must be in a Sprint National Network service area. For more information about wireless coverage indicators, please see the chart on page 54.
Note: Before using your BlackBerry® device in international roaming areas, you must establish service and connect to the Sprint National Network in the U.S. For more information about international service and options, please see “Sprint WorldwideSM Wireless Service” on page 37.
If your BlackBerry® device is on but the wireless radio is turned off (the coverage
indicator reads ), you can turn the radio on and connect to the network by clicking Manage Connections and selecting Mobile Network.
Using Your BlackBerry® 8830 Without a Wireless Connection
When your BlackBerry® device is not connected to a wireless network (or if the wireless radio is turned off) you can continue to use features that do not require a connection to a network. For example, you can type and save draft email messages, manage tasks, or use the calculator.
