The best thing to do is to contact your service provider and they can reset your sim card service. You have to give them specific details as to what's going on with your phone. Usually they can fix the problems over the phone. Make sure you call from a different phone, because they will have you look up information on your phone. I hope this is helpful.

It was 2.0. Their phone service was horrible. Jumped thru hoops and wasted hours being passed around and repeat questions. Good luck!

Not sure about the "error 6" but Boosts' service is horrible. Cricket is another company that i would not recommend dealing with. Cricket's service is also horrible. my phone is supposed to have play store. i can not even get into play store to get a game to download. my phone service will hang up on people when i am using the phone. I try to text. i have unlimited minutes and texting. almost always i have a problem texting also. my message will not go through? i don't think it is the phone because i am not sure but Samsung is a great brand?

Just insert a SIM card from T-Mobile, AT&T;, or from any service provider that uses SIM card, and your BLU phone is ready to work. If you will ever encounter problems with text messaging, data, etc.that are included in your service, you may need to reset some APN settings usually available from your service provider. I am using Consumer Cellular and it's working great with my BLU phone.

I contacted Amazon and they refunded me $25.00 to have the phone unlocked. I contacted Cellunlocker.net and they provided an unlock code for $25.00, my phone is now unlocked and working with my UK sim card. Any one else recieve a phone that was not unlocked?

I'm also struggling. First how does one know if one needs the firmware update? How do you know what version is currently installed on the unit? When I run the update wizard from the Jabra web site, it just gets to the place where is says, "When the device has entered firmware upgrade mode Windows will install a device driver needed during the upgrade process. When the driver installation is completed the firmware download will begin automatically." But nothing ever happens. So I'm just as stuck. Sorry this is of no help.

Does your phone service "allow" pictures to be sent or received? This happens to some of my friends that don't have "picture" service. My phone works just fine for pics and downloads.

It doesn't currently have a Jelly Bean update available. I don't know if Blu is planning to eventually planning to make an update available or not. Your best bet is to contact them asking their plans

That HTC phone gave me problems from the beginning. From bad WiFi connectivity to the battery not taking the charge. Recently I discovered a new brand of phones that take dual Sim card and are factory unlocked... And beautiful! Go to www.bluproducts.com or even here in amazon you can find them. The name is Blu (no e in the end) I just fell in love with their phone. I got the Studio 5 2( roman number 2).

HI everyone,I bought the phone for the same reason as Lili and bought a 50 dollar prepaid card that is now activated. I am having no luck connecting to the Web so far- it says http://home.web2go.com is not available and to check my settings, then it says No Network connection... tres frustrating. I tried the Wifi on and off, same with the data pack. Help please if someone can...

I have always updated my phone using the "update" under the tools section. You can try that but I don't go online with my phone. I don't think it will go as far as the new smartphones that are out now. Good Luck if you keep trying!

The stock updated 3588 rom is okay at best. It's still sluggish, apps were force closing every so often (the colornote app of all things). I tried tnt-lite, latest build and it was much better. Apps were still force closing at times, not as fluid as I liked. I took the plunge and put vegan-tab 5.1 (beta I believe) on there. It's so much faster and nicer than the other two.

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

You probably had the same issue I had. Outdated firmware. I believe that amazon has a batch of these that have old version one software. Call pocketfinder and they will try to push an update out to you. If this fails they may send you a new unit. I purchased the device because I took my 3yo to Disneyland for his bday earlier this month. After getting offf the plane...still didnt work. After discovering my issue via email and phone calls to their support, i recieved constant communications from their support teams. After not being able to update my device over the air. They drove to the Disneyland hotel and hand delivered me a new unit. Work with them as they will do their best to help out!

Hi Apophis, C'mon... Don't let us wait any longer!!! Do you have any comments about its performance yet? I'm trying to decide between keeping my two weeks blackberry 9000 or through it into the wastebasket, as I was needing its Everywhere Email Power, but I really use what Windows and Office interface brings to my daily work. Data exchanging etc.Do you know if can works with Blackberry Connect for smartphones?
