Roadpost International Services
for BlackBerry Smartphones
Charging the BlackBerry smartphone
Before using the BlackBerry smartphone, ensure that the
battery is charged. Should the battery require charging,
connect one end of the cable to the charger and the other
to the BlackBerry smartphone; insert the plug into a
suitable power source. The battery will also charge while
the device is connected to your PC.
Your SIM card
Your SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) is the key to
your Roadpost international service for BlackBerry
smartphones. This small chip contains all the information
you store on your device, which comes ready-to-use, with
your SIM card in place.
Use while driving
Be sure to check local regulations before using your
BlackBerry smartphone as a phone while driving. Roadpost
recommends that you always use a headset while driving.
For your convenience and safety, headsets are included
with all devices.
Emergency services
Most countries in Europe use 112 as their emergency
service number. Check with your travel agent or hotel for
the emergency information in the country you are traveling
to.
Coverage
A variety of local networks allow you to use your service
around the world, and offer varying signals for use. Data
and voice service is available only on GPRS/EDGE
networks, while all other networks allow only voice.
Note: Just like your domestic cellular service in North
America, your signal will be the strongest when traveling in
major cities and more densely populated areas. When
traveling in rural, or more secluded areas, you may
experience less consistent coverage.
For more information on services supported in the country
you are traveling to, contact Roadpost Customer Care.

smartphone with your existing PC. The device will take on
all personal data stored in your corporate mail server
including email, contacts, tasks, notes and your calendar.
Note Before connecting the BlackBerry smartphone with
your PC, synchronize your existing BlackBerry device one
final time. This will ensure that the information transferred

ensure that the BlackBerry smartphone is installed properly
as a USB device.

Confirming network connectivity
While roaming on a variety of networks around the world,
the signal you receive on your BlackBerry smartphone may
vary. An icon at the top right of your screen will confirm

signal that will allow you to send and receive emails as
well as make and receive calls.
• gsm, gprs or edge (lower case) will allow you to make
and receive calls, but not send email.

If you are not receiving a full GPRS signal, the network you
are currently roaming on (network name is shown on
screen) may not allow data transmission.
1. Click (Options) using the trackwheel.
2. Select Network to view the network you are currently
on.
Note: This screen will also display the current scan
mode. Ensure that your scan mode is set to ‘Manual’ so
that you can control which network you are using.

trackwheel. Select ‘Change Option’ and select ‘Manual’.
