Dear Middle East: Got your BlackBerry Z10, noticing BBM Voice & Chat disabled? Try this!

Published: 104 days ago 21 Comments

Excited BlackBerry fans in the Middle East pre-ordered their BlackBerry Z10 starting from January 31, 2013 right after it was announced in Dubai, UAE. The pre-orders started and delivering to the customers started today, February 10 2013. This is not the first time BlackBerry services are blocked in some regions but there is always a work-around bringing that to life. BBM7 with Voice on older BlackBerry Smartphones does not work some Middle East regions, try the trick below and enjoy!

BBM7 with Voice also works with this trick.

 

customdns

Custom add your WiFi connection with custom DNS:

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.4.4.4

Make sure you won’t conflict your IP address with other IP on the same network. It won’t work if it conflicts, try changing the last digits of your IP address. Please watch video in detail.

            BlackBerry Z10? Are you able to browse webpages though that WiFi connection?

          • khaled

            I bought Z10 today and i have blackberry torch as well, the voice service was working on the torch but this morning it gave me “the connection cannot be established” keeping in mind that browsing the net using WIFI is working fine

          • Shahzoor Ali (Author)

            Not working on Torch as well? Let me test with other users
