Blackberry activation not working

If you get a new Blackberry and you try to activate it using the automated *228, it sometimes doesn't work. You can tell because there is no internet Browser icon and none of the data services work. If this happens to you, here's how to fix your Blackberry so that it starts connection. Navigate to Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Tables and then click on Register Now. This will register your Blackberry on the network and this will get the network services working again.
