Verizon Communications BlackBerry Pearl 8130 Cell Phone - Silver Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 23, 2010

My Pearl was recently reactivated. I can call out. I can text and receive texts. I receive emails. But if anyone tries to call me, it goes straight to voice mail.

You must contact your service provider and ask the to turn this feature OFF.
Further you must go into the phone setting and ensure that you do NOT have your Voice Mail settings set to go to voicemail, in any event once it is disabled by the provider this will no longer happen.
Below is your user manual so you can check your settings against the manual.

Below is how to perform these tasks and more at the below link.

    go into your media and select ringtones... change it to something else preferably with a longer running time.

  • Anonymous Aug 23, 2010

    Done. Didn't change anything.

  • Anonymous Aug 23, 2010

    verify a couple things. that you are using the correct phone number and when you call your phone how many rings before it goes to voice mail. which apparently you need to set up again. i'm beggining to wonder tho if the problem isn't their voice mail system. perhaps call your voice mail from a regular phone to see if you can in fact access it.

  • Anonymous Aug 23, 2010

    I am going to run down the road to Verizon again before they close. If I can't get anywhere again, I'll get back with you.

    Thank you so much!! If you find anything in the meantime, please email me.

  • Anonymous Aug 23, 2010

    Thank you for all your patience and help today. I spent that last 1 1/2 hours at our local Verizon dealer (not the big corporate one I went to). Yes it is the voice mail system and it is in the phone itself. So, I was able to get a reconditioned phone identical to the one I had for only the cost of a battery. Can't beat that and I still have the phone I love.

    thanks again!!

I am going abroad and I want to turn off receiving emails to my blackberry pearl while I am away. I only want to make calls and receive texts. How do I deactivate the email application?

Hello.

First, contact your provider and discuss International calling with them. Then, before arriving, turn off data services, so you will not have the expensive costs for data access, including email. For my provider (Verizon), there was a cost to send and receive texts, so be certain of the costs before traveling.

I recently traveled to Mexico from the US, so I evaluated all of the costs for my Blackberry.

Hope this helps.

Not receiving text messages

You are running out of memory, just free up your memory. You can do this by doing some or all of the following:

  • Clear your log (hold alt and press lglg>then menu key>select "Clear Log">confirm)
  • Close programs you're not currently using (hold alt and back button) Some items will always be running like messages, phone, browser, home screen so on and so forth, leave those running
  • Uninstall themes and programs that you are not using anymore (Options>Advanced Options>Applications) [Leave the following applications on the phone or you will have trouble: BlackBerry "Version # i.e. 4.2" Core Applications; BlackBerry System Software; BlackBerry Attachment Service; Browser; Help; Phone. The rest are if you use them or not i.e. Tasks; MemoPad, BB Messenger, if you don't use them then you can delete them without major problems on your phone)
  • Move photos, music, video and other multimedia over to your disc instead on the actual BB device. Also delete ringtones that you no longer use
  • From your desktop uninstall languages that you do not need
  • Delete out your old text messages and emails, try to save them on your computer instead of your laptop (with email) or forward text messages that you need to your email then delete the actual text message
This should be a good start to clearing out your memory and start receiving text messages again along with your call logs showing up. If you remove an application it will ask to reboot, let it and then send a text message from online to make sure that you're up and working again. Then maintenance your BlackBerry about every week afterwards depending on your storing habits. Hope it works!
