Internet Connection FAIL - Help!

I've checked everything I could find, but I can't get my Blackberry Tour to connect to the internet. It was connected earlier and then when I tried to check a website, it said it could not connect.

I tried rebooting my phone by powering off as well as taking the battery out.

Under MANAGE CONNECTIONS, "mobile network" has a check beside it, as well as a green check after it and Verizon next to it (so I know I'm connected and it's set to the right network).

Under SERVICES STATUS, it says "BlackBerry Internet Service Connection: not connected".

WHAT DO I DO?!?

Hi,

Welcome to the forums. Let me start by asking you about your connection. From the main screen, what does the connection look like next to the signal bars? Does it say 1XEV or 1xev in lower case letters? If it is in lower case, then you can not connect to the internet. All you can do is send/recieve SMS, MMS and make calls. Let me know and we can go from there.

It's all lower case. 1xev. How can I change this? I need internet access for work.

Hey,

In the Options>Mobile Network, there is Network Technology. My Tour came default on Global. I changed this to 1XEV and have not had any problems. Try this and see if that fixes your problem.

Nope. Still can't connect. This is so frustrating.

It seems to be a Verizon network issue of some sort. I did not get any emails all day yesterday, did not try internet.

Tonight we can not get any data conection between two BBs and 4 laptop cards.

That's what I thought. It is probably a problem at the tower next to where you are trying to connect. If it is a former Alltel tower, it is possible they are working on it as part of the transition to VZW. Verizon stated that the transition would take a few months and that may be what is happening. Let me know how it goes when you travel about connecting to different towers. I'll bet you'll have good connection.
