Panic struck me last night. After watching the Rays take Game 2 of the World Series, I pulled out my BlackBerry to check a few stats. There it was — or there it wasn’t. The icon for my BlackBerry Browser had disappeared. I poked around for a bit, checking for hidden icons, but with no luck. I tried to launch NextPimp, and I got an error. This is horribly frustrating for anyone. So, instead of whining about it, I went home and figured out how its done. Solution after the jump.. You’ll go to Options, then Advanced Options, then to Host Routing Table. Hit Menu, and then select Register Now. I was told you have to scroll all the way to the bottom, which takes a bit. I’d do that just to be safe. Once you do, though, you’ll get a message in your Inbox saying your BlackBerry has been registered with the Internet, and bam. You’re set.

can u help me?!?!
@jo When in Host Routing Table – if you press the menu key do you see an option to “Register Now”?
If not then log into your BIS account and resend your service books. Do a battery pull shortly after.
Let me know if that works.
I had updated my software and lost the registrations. I restored my old data but still had to do this step to get my browser back. Worked perfect. Thanks.
You are awesome! Worked like a charm. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great! thanks a lot for the help and instruction..
Don’t register any table. Notice in the picture above on one entry is bold. That entry is specific to your carrier and phone. Select that one and register, not the one at the bottom.
I just have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I was ready to see if a BlackBerry could fly…
You made my day!!!!
THANKS!! So easy!!
when i go into ,
advanced options, then host routing table, it has *no entries* , i still press menu and click ‘register now’, and yes it say’s ‘registration message sent!’ ..
but where does it send to.. ? nothing happens? :S
i can’t find this info anywhere on the internet.
please help me!
@emily If you have nothing in your HRT it indicates that your account is not set up properly on your carriers network or there is a problem with the device not recognizing your SIM card.
I suggest contacting your carrier asap to let them know of the issue. The can provision your device on their network remotely and should be able to sort it out in a matter of minutes. if the problem lies in the SIM card you may need to get a new one.

Hi there, ive read all the posts and still found nothing that helps. ive gone into Options/Advanced Options/Host Routing Table/Register Now… Message gets sent, i recieve a reply in my Mail and tells me ive been registered with the Wireless Network. My Internet Access is still unavailable. According to Vodacom BlackBerry Support in SA, I needed to go to Options/Advanced Options/Browser then select “Internet Browser” from the Select Tab… this is such a failure because i dint have that option like I always did.
Help?

Hi I Have A Blackberry Bold 9000 Nd Iv Clicked On Register Now Then It Said “Registration Message Sent!” But Nothings Happened…Help?!
I don’t have the world browser anymore and I did everything that you said. I found the number in bold selected it and it sent me a message. I pulled the battery and did it again. Please help me I’m about to cry.
I have no entries in he HRT.
Have selected register now plenty times and still no success(Along with battery pull).
Also my browser is not showing on the main menu and have checked if hidden but definitely is not as I have connected my BB to the laptop and viewed applications on the blackberry desktop software and found that the Browser along with many more apps are required and are not installed. I have reset to factory settings and restored my data that I backed up and still nothing.
I am in the process of downgrading my software to a lower version and will then upgrade to the latest version in hope for something.
If anyone knows how to sort this out correctly your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jesse
