When setting up a single user blackberry, I would recommend using the Blackberry Internet Services rather than say Blackberry Desktop Redirector as Internet Services has guaranteed uptime and easier to administer.
Sometimes after you setup your blackberry on Internet Services after registering your phone on the Vodafone Network by insert your sim card and powering the device on , email still does not load on the blackberry.
This is usally down to your service provider not enabling your account for Blackberry or GPRS. To test this make sure your GPRS symbol is in capitals instead of Lowercase. Lowercase gprs and edge means that the phone can see the gprs or edge network , but cannot authenticate to it ( Usually due to your provider blocking it)
Another way to tell if your phone has a data connection is to it type *#105# from your Blackberry handset then press the call button. This should return something like this

CS Stands for Circuit Switched ( What your telephone calls use )
PS Stand for Packet Switched ( What your internet uses )
Make sure your phone has a value for both of these
WIRELESS CONNECTION STATUS INDICATORS:
EDGE: You can use the phone, send/receive email, PIN, SMS text & MMS msgs & use the browser with a high speed data connection.
GPRS: You can use the phone, send/receive email, PIN, SMS text & MMS msgs & use the browser.
edge, gprs, GSM: You can use the phone and send receive SMS text msgs.
SOS: You can only make emergency calls
OFF: You Blackberry Curve’s radio is turned off.
X: You are not in a wireless coverage area.

I have a BB8320 with a China Unicom connection. no BES or BIS, i asked China Unicom to activate GPRS for me and they did but its gprs, i mean the BB shows the small letters. I asked them agin, but China Unicom has no idea about the difference between GPRS and gprs. for the last four days, i’ve read dozens of articles about this problem, and the only way was the APN, so for unicom is uniwap, no user nam and no password. I did that, now it works only for QQ messenger, but Browser, Windows line and yahoo are still not working because its still gprs not GPRS.
I wanted to try this article but when i dial *#105# it says “Supplementary service error: Unexpected data value”
what should i do?
Hi Faisal,
Seems an odd error , According to Blackberry
Are you pressing the call number , typing in *#105# then pressing the call button again?

I have the Blackberry B9630+, I want its setting for GPRS. I am tired of trying it. I created the data account. I didn’t see WAP while going through Services…and also it didn’t ask me for Proxy address —– and Proxy port —- which I should fill up.
Thank you very much in advance.
