They also plugged it in to charge, but it never charged up and we guessed maybe the battery was just really old or bad. They also didn't have any batteries for me to try in the Blackberry.
Came home and was able to borrow a friend's battery temporarily and successfully powered it on. The "my number" display listed a number, but after calling it, determined it was not a number in operation and so I'd like to keep it to use as my own.
After performing a "Wipe Handheld" function (which doesn't wipe out the number), is there a way to also delete the phone number in there so that I can eventually take it in to use as my cell phone?
Thanks!
