 @stvn20:

The fine print around these parts says that for data BB OS10 is needed. I have the Z30 and

everything works as it should. Your Bold is older.

There are several models of the Bold so we can't tell from our vantage point.

You might get talk and/or text but no data. You might need to fiddle with which frequencies to pick up.

looks like your bold isnt compatible. 

try to do a network search and see if it can find PM network.

Check the website to check if your model of Blackberry Bold is compatable with Public Mobile:

I have a feeling that it is NOT compatible....

If this is for a new acct on a used phone...make sure the phone is unlocked. If not, you can call the previous cell provider and request a free unlock code. Alternatively, you can buy one on eBay. Good luck.

I think the blackberry needs to be a blackberry 10 device..dont think a bold is..
