So I set up a BlackBerry Passport with BB ID and one without...and not much difference so far! Even my Bold 9900 is behaving so far but I don't know how long that will last or what will be left over time.

If you have an OS7 device still running, let me know what works!
Email dead. SMS and phone work. Uncertain about MMS. Device on 2g/1x network anyway except wifi. BB7 didn't have BB10 BBW workaround either... US and Verizon.
Prob BES that can be setup to replace BIS over wifi, but not worth it for me.
my 9900 in greece works and 3g
Bold 9900 no email and using opera mini because normal browser is not working can't update software
I Have A Blackberry 8520 Still Works Too Make And Receive Calls And Txts
Same here. I'm from the Philippines and my two Blackberry phones the Bold 9900 and Classic still work for Calls, SMS and wifi.❤️
if you reset and delete everything it wont get stucked to bb username sign in?
Thanks for hosting the video regardless.... it was great sitting around listening to like minded BBaddicts looking back at what BB was... the best damn OS in the world.... :)
Definitely was fun to sit there and talk about the devices for a bit!
I can still make calls and text and data so far with the BB passport SE . Well at least until At&t blocks my sim from detecting a 3G device . So far so good m
Yeah, exactly, until ATT comes and sweeps up the rest of us.
My Classic now functions like a Palm. Until I can replace my Kindle, the Classic is my alarm clock and no-ads game hub. KeyONE is working fine! Thanks for hosting video!
Is the browser working ok on the classic ? Or is it too unstable to use and check Facebook and other sites sometimes?
@@monurajput5608 it works great on fb for me
@@ScottishLad66 thank u. For a minimalist like me passport was enough back in 2019. But when I get too social I feel like I need to be a part of a group and have a iPhone...
I've had some back and forth with ATT for the past two months. Having them restore my service multiple times and they finally took a more drastic step on my Q10. The cellular antenna symbol turned from "4G" to "4g". Voice and sms would work but I could no longer send email or mms (pictures over sms). I didn't try with my Passport I just switched over to their stupid Alcatel Android phone. I feel so defeated and miss my old friends. BlackBerry 10 was the best mobile OS I've ever used.
So true the best OS
Still have a Torch! It functioned throughout January 4th; on the 5th email was gone, but phone and text still work as do Blackberry maps. Based on my reading, this is what I expected to happen [except for the maps!]. The browser hasn't worked for a long time due to outdated certificates, and I was never concerned about that since the security was hopelessly out of date anyways. I'll keep it going, but its not my only phone, so it's a bit of an experiment now.
BB Curve 9300 (in Waterloo, ON!) and still up and running like normal on a basic talk/text plan here!
For that, it should be just fine for a while! And in Canada you are keeping 3g for a bit too!
A year later is the text and calling still working?
@@Jake-xx9xq Still working as normal here. :)
I am in Canada with Virgin which is bascally Bell. I lost sim services, hub email functionality, as well as internet in the sense of web certs being expired everywhere on my Bold 9900. This has been the case for at least two years, even though hardware wise it is still going.
On the other hand, my Blackberry Classic is virtually the same as on the 3rd. As you said, time will tell. Thank you very much for the updates :)
maybe you can use your contacts at BB and see if they will let you run the BB servers out of your garage. I'll miss BBM the most. Thanks for the live stream!
Onward mobility just updated their website, saying they will communicate to media soon!
Yep! I don't doubt it's on the way...just a matter of when!
Looking for up tp date info on how BB10 is working as of Sept 2022. I'm not I'm the U.S. so I don't think I'll be kicked off the network. How is email hub working? Text, ECT..?
I'm in Egypt...I have a Q10...the blackberry server was working fine until a few hours ago where the famous blackberry logo disappeared from the phone screen...now, I only have the 4G sign...email is working as it used to..web browsing is fine too...I have a paid version of BBM so I think it is working fine too
Yes, if you have BBMe you should be OK. It's consumer BBM that went away. And same for me. Lost the connection to BB but otherwise I'm OK so far.
Not sure why but I’m not able to send or receive invitations
Because Blackberry used a port of Linux and built the OS up from themselves it's pretty easy to glitch out and bypass.
Still rocking a Blackberry Passport to this day (Portugal, Vodafone network)! Most of the things work, installing most basic apps is not a problem, however banking apps, Blackberry services and some very specific apps do not install or work at all. But still in love with this phone since the day I got it.
Definitely love using it!
I left my OS7 torch stock... And it works fine. I removed my BBID on my Bold 9930 and it has been acting up.
9900 still works on mintsim after they claimed they are dropping their 3G service on July 1st. It is July 3rd now. Just don't expect email to work. Call and text works and that's all i need!
Oh wow!! I have mint and they didn't work for me. Maybe if they were already active.
@@StevealiciousTech Try findidng the network manually. That worked for me.
Fired up my Classic with my AT&T SIM card today and can still call and text. Email still works and so does the internet. Gonna leave it on and see how long it lasts?
yeah i decided to go the format route with my classic tried for fun to create and sign in but nothing is really working. I'm not sure how the whole carrier thing works in the UK ill need to go out and get a new valid burner sim but I'm pretty sure the 4G networks will still work just fine on it benefit of just europe using GSM only.
I would like to see a tall version of The Bold 9900. For me the passport was too wide.
That basically was the Classic for most people, I would think...but I can see the Passport being too wide for some!
Sorry about posting this comment again I forgot to mention the specs of the phones.
Is a Moto G Stylus 5g with 128GB storage/4GB of Ram/Snapdragon 480 or Samsung Galaxy A42 5g with 128GB of Storage/ 4GB of Ram/ Snapdragon 720 better? Please help final comment.
Still going Stylus 5G if I had to.
@@StevealiciousTech ok thanks
@@cosmicthunderdoome5250 snapdragon 720 sounds really nice. Seems like a new chipset . May perform as good as a SD 835, which was in galalxy S8 flagship 2017. That phone is still sleak in 2022. Check out Moto edge 20 5G.
Here in Thailand, I have Bold 9900, Torch 9810 and Torch 9800. 2 Years after this video was released, these phones I have here can make phone calls, send sms, listening to music and that's all. 3G network is still available here. So pity that Blackberry OS 7 phones here are 4G unsupported. So if I want to use them for long long time as dumb phones, may be I might find the 4G version which import from USA 😊
Please I am trying to transfer contacts and data from Blackberry Passport phone into my new phone Samsung notebook new phone. Downloaded the device switch app on both phones. Synchronised both phones but rather than data being transferred from blackberry phone, the data was being transferred from the new Samsung Notebook phone into the Blackberry Passport Phone. Is there a fix for this?
The smart device app in the Samsung Note Phone, only allow for transfer of data from Android, Iphone and Windows phones
Like all users of blackberry phones, i love the keyboard on them. It is a pity this is the end of Blackberry as a mobile phone manufacturer. I am still trying to adapt to the keyboard on the Samsung Notebook phone.
I use the the blackberry phone on 3G & 4G networks in UK and Nigeria.
Will appreciate any assistance.
old nokia E series phones works as phone as usual after over a decade of no support. i dont get why bb phones couldnt let us use the phone to even call and text.
I'm in Liberia W/Africa, my BB Classic is not working as I expected only calls, SMS, and the Camera are still active but, cannot connect to the computer via USB cable. Is there another way the phone can be used?
Which blackberry still can call and send sms?
can I use bb passport as a portable typing machine? how do I transfer file into my laptop or to my primary phone?
My BB Playbook is now a brick. *THANKS A LOT, BLACKBERRY!*
Got constant "cannot log in with BBID" nags, figured it was a glitch, did a full reset and now cannot get past the licence agreement screen in set-up as the country list will not populate from the now-switched-off server owned by Blackberry. *sigh*.
That was when I started digging and found out about the big Blackberry switch off.
Anyone want to by a Playbook 64GB in perfect condition? 🙂
Ah yeah, I'm sorry! If the software goes bad or you still had it set up with your BB ID, it is pretty much gone. A shame for sure!
My BB Passport is still functioning
Yep! It's hanging in there.
Yeah. I didn't expect a complete shutdown. How about BBM on your Passport?
mine was originally signed in but it kept on asking to log in again. but when i tried it doesnt work. my concern if passport was reset and wipe that it would be stucked on bb username sign in
Correct, if you reset the device with a BB ID still active, it will essentially make it a coaster and not able to be used or get past that screen since it won't be able to reach the servers to authenticate the device.
Hi fellows, here in Europe (France), my Passport still functions normally. Blackberry World is accessible but it's not possible to download anything anymore
Looking to buy a blackberry to use as a "smart" dumbphone. Could you advise me on how I could do that?
I really wouldn't at that point...Windows Phone is even a better option for that at this point than BB.
Does anybody know anything about how to get the SDXC media card drivers for BB10 devices now? I have some Z10 I bought recently to use as cameras and I stupidly did not connect them to wifi and insert the SDXC card I use for my Blackberry devices to automatically download the driver before the shutdown.
I have the Classic and I only use that phone when I go back to the US for a visit (I live overseas now). I only use the phone (with US number) for receiving/making calls and texts. i haven't been back obviously due to Covid travel restrictions but will fly out soon in three weeks. Will my Classic work just to receive/make calls/texts? not planning on doing anything else with it (wifi, etc.). I have a..cheap pay-as-you go call and text plan with T-mobile. No wifi data as it is an old program. Should I play it safe and just use my Priv instead?
No the Classic won’t work.
@@rocketshiftgaming5693 Thanks!
Wife's Bold 9900 can make and receive calls. Web browser is not working properly though.
GREAT VIDEO...As you say.. So far so good..using my Passport SE no issues. Main driver my PRIV and KEY2's.
We shall see as time goes on but either way I think we need a good alternative soon!
Is priv Good for limited browsing ? Somehow people always scare me by saying it gets heat up alot.
@@monurajput5608 clear cache regularly, close apps when not using and don't use location when not needed and I use on my PRIV Lite version of Google re Google GO.
@@rico4you thank u. Can u still get 4-5 hours sot?
I think Priv Looks alot more premium or better looking than key series. Does the key2 feels better than priv ? The feel in hand and usability wise.
@@monurajput5608 KEY 2 is step above in SOC and overall speed. But PRIV has an amazing screen even in 2022 has a very high PPI. Plus a keyboard that has ever failed. You can see , feel that the PRIV was the last BlackBerry directly from BlackBerry!
Im in Australia (typing on a Keyone...I just tried my Passport and it doesnt look as though anything has changed at all.. Everything still works as it was. Thanks for all your videos on BB. Keep the faith.lol
Take that back.. BB World not working but the apps I had already downloaded from it
still work
@@scottwhiting1468 Did you reformat your Passport prior to the cutoff and set it up without a bbid ? If not then your phone will become a brick if you try to reinstall the os.
But does your clock sync correctly? Mine doesn't, needs manual adjustment.
Otherwise, everything (that i use) seems to be working on BB Classic, if anything it's faster. Especially on Whatsapp.
Mine has been off, yes!
I reset my BB Classic Q20 and now I can’t get past the wifi screen because to set it up, blackberry servers need to confirm which means it’s now trashed. Never ever reset a BB10 phone or else it’s junk
Yes, if you had an active BB ID at the time of the server shutdown then you are stuck, unfortunately.
Does the Passport and the Classic Q20 still work? I thought I buy them and use them for the internet, alarm clock, and calculator. I have an iPhone 12 and I use that for calls, text messages, emails, etc.
Mine bb passport can call, text, used internet using WiFi, have clock, alarm, calculator, and youtube but only can see mostly 360p and sometimes 720p, also I can watch videos at 1440p max using a micro sd.
which blackberry will work just as a back up phone? Key1 ?
Uhhh, depends on your network and if it was one purchased from ATT if you have them. Otherwise, TMobile should be just fine for that and the Key2.
Blackberry !0 devices still work just fine here in Canada and it's almost 2024 (in 2 weeks),
But I need new one or in better condition
Is it worth buying one for 70.00? Bout to get onto from eBay but wondering if it'll stop working. And how does someone disable and get rid of blackberry protect
Not worth it and you don’t disable that at this point so it will be a paperweight, unfortunately.
@@StevealiciousTech Thank you so much. I have a Google Pixel and wanted something extra for work.
@@StevealiciousTech $10 a piece ? A guy offer me 10 from his company left over bb passport?
I bought a playbook secondhand recently how do I get past the BlackBerry Id sign in page ?
I'm sorry to say but you don't at this point. If the device was wiped with an active BB ID with BB Protect still active, the device can't activate or get past that device because the servers are now down. I don't know of a workaround really...I don't know if anyone has.
There is a walk around, just search on a UA-cam how to bypass wifi setup blackberry 2022 and there are a bunch of vids. Unfortunately if you have a blackberry that was protected with blackberry id, you can’t do the walk around. You have to reflash the software using a computer
On the home screen of my BB Passport, suddenly however I don't see the new messages that appear in the Hub, you know, there is this overview of new messages usually, how about yours? Many thanks!
Correct, good point. I don't notice the little bit to the right of the message total that gives a preview. Is that a setting? Since I wiped mine I haven't gotten it back exactly how I want it but if it's the default then it is missing.
@@StevealiciousTech in the hub, all really works, gmail whatsapp, etc so I am happy! However in the setting, you can specify whether you want the notification of new messages. I am getting my sound/optical notifications, however not that pop-up kind of message saying x new mails and y-new messages, although enabled in the hub-setting! Isn't that strange, all of a sudden? 😢
It's funny how Blackberry didn't try and monetize the people's hunger for their all mighty and glorious Blackberrys, I myself would have gladly payed for the ability to run my Berry! Blackberry failed for all the wrong reasons, imagine buying a Blackberry and the cell service and protection and services all from Blackberry itself.
I think (just an opinion) Onward Mobility should have had new Passports for sale by now. But they haven't / can't. Who knows? So maybe Blackberry haven't been able to shut everything down just yet as they don't want a class action lawsuit (as you suggested).
I wish a new Passport would come out for sure!
They left us. We won’t have a new BB
I tried logging into my outlook email through the hub and it failed to connect to network , it allows the Gmail to connect tho . I'm using a blackberry passport SE.
Yes, Outlook is having issues but my gmails are working fine.
Anyone confirm if Pearl working?
My Passport works fine except for Kindle that stopped working and I can't launch apk files anymore. I managed to install another ebook reader (a bar file) however so all is not lost.
It seems I'm the only one to have this problem so could be a coincidence and not due to the end of BB10 servers.
If anyone knows where I can find a bar file for Kindle I'd be interested.
My classic literally won't go past the boot up screen. Literally EOL
Yep, you are no longer able to reset them at all. Sad!
@@StevealiciousTech hopefully resellers know about that
So far OS6 is still working on my old 9300 besides Blackberry App World.
Nice! Do you have data as well? Or just wifi?
@@StevealiciousTech strange part is that I began to have data problems over three years ago. I began using my 9300 without data a few years ago.
Same here. I had data issues around 2018 and lost BIS. Things got spotty after that.
I Have A Blackberry 8520 And I Can Still Get Txts And Make and Receive Calls
So if i take a wiped BB10 device how do i get pass the initial setup?
If it had a BB ID active at the time of the wipe, you don't, unfortunately.
From where I can buy
Hi am from Pakistan I have bbpp.10 still working every things
Will someone for the love of God explain to me how BlackBerry can turn off my playbook when it has nothing to do with them I own it and I'm using Wi-Fi it's got nothing to do with them Where they can just switch it off. I don't have a problem with them not servicing it but they don't have a right to just turn off something that doesn't belong to them anymore
hello , I'm from Kosovo ,my blackberry device Z10 still running...😀
What about WEb mail? like gmail ? browser?
so sad that old blackberry its just gone forever
wish i could make a ping one last time if BBM doesnt discontinue early
In crackberry thread someone spoke to Blackberry corporate customer service who said internal employees still using BB10 devices...
Oh I am sure plenty are! Maybe that's why the shutdown wasn't too harsh haha.
@@StevealiciousTech And no knowledge of any phones coming to replace them... Canada 3g shutdown a couple years behind US too I think...
Most of what I need still runs, Passport and a Z30
Nice! Survive as long as you can!
I can DBM now🙂 thank very much DPB and BBM it working Browser and contact. AND video ' music
Glad it is still working for you!
Put my son's sim from straight talk in my Q20.Texts and Calls and that's a wrap.Didnt wanna test my ATT sim they will lock it down
Exactly, they will shut it off and you will have to go through a whole hassle to get it back on...but calls and texts are going to be it...a Q20 should be able to do email though...as long as no Outlook it would appear people are saying.
sad times we live in
Definitely
News reporters will always be overzealous with thier headlines. Lose support == oh no its going to explode in your hand!
Yeah. That is all I have been hearing on the news.
i loved my 9900 :(
How about on the os 10
So far so good. No BB World and other services but for email, calls, text, and data, so far so good.
Have you noticed any significant advantages to 4G w Vo/lte over simply 3G? Plugged my sim into Classic from U. Pocket and no changes noted save loss of BB world. You stated T-Mobile to carry BB until sometime in March 22. Pocket is a good phone but not a BB! Thank you. Pocket maybe a "bridge" to the 5G BB. I miss BB OS10.
No BlackBerry 10 device supports VoLTE.
ATT sent me the same message on my one plus 7
Your OnePlus 7 should be just fine! I would go on ATT chat for tech support...but the chat, not the phone call and have them provision it.
#Cyclone
It’s working so far! Keep together, stay alive.
Im sure the new device is going to have an older processor already putting us blackberry lovers behind the 8 ball.
