*Important* Before following these steps, ensure you have a Blackberry Data Plan on your account. Blackberries typically require this in order to download the service books that configure the settings on the blackberry.

10. Select Service Book
11. For each item in the list, press the Menu key and select Delete
    Note The Provisioning Service Book will not delete, and other may not as well. Ignore these.
12. Once deleted, go back one to Advanced Options
13. Select Host Routing Table
14. Press the Menu key
15. Select Register Now
16. A Message, "Registration Message Sent" should appear, select OK
17. The Blackberry will receive a registration message and new service books

    Note If the Blackberry Data plan was just added, it can take time before this will work. If you do not receive the registration message, try again later.
