Blackberry SiriusXM on rogers 3G

[rsoares28]

The new Sirius app for blackberry came out today and i can't get it to work over data. I can log in, it will download the channels but says data connection lost when i try to play a channel. When i disable data and turn on wifi, the application works pefect. any idea if rogers is stopping this application from working? could it be something i'm doing wrong?

I am having the exact same issue with my 9700, I have been playing with it for awhile and can't get it to work over the network data. It works fine when connected to wifi.

May I ask how you were able to log into the app? I'm using a 9700. Downloaded the app today and signed up for the XM online + for $2.99 month. When I try to login, I get invaild userid. Spoke with XM Canada and they tell me its for Americans only.

Know of a way around this for me?

You need to purchase a XM or Sirius US subscription. Need and US postal code.

Just semantics but Americans use zip codes.

I have had a US Sirius account for about 5 yrs now, I purchased a lifetime account and it was very easy to do. I am actually using a hotel address in Las Vegas as my address, and the charges for the premium account ($3/ month or something like that) are automatically charge monthly to my CC. Since I have done this I have several friends who have done the same thing.

ok, so my question is.
i signed up for the 7 day trial using an US zip but when i try to listen to a channel, be it bpm, hiphop nation or playboy (hehe) a loading bar appears and just stays or it comes up with a data connection error.

anyone else experiencing this problem?

it says on the website only available in the 48 states

[mmanuk1]

Ya I know that. But if you provide an US zipcode you can sign up.
Now even if its a Free Trial do I still need to sign up for a Premium Service, which doesnt sound free to me.

its working over wifi so it does work in canada once you setup using a US "ZIP" code. i read reports on another bb site that its working over bell 3g so that is werid. anybody think rogers tech support would be able to help?

[rsoares28]

So i spoke to bb tech support at rogers and the they were no help. they advised me to call bb, so i did. i was told that i had to pay for tech support, i obviously declined. On saturday i was in buffalo roaming on AT&t, i figured not being on rogers 3g it would work on at&T 3g... well i was wrong. Same problem with player error. i feel its something with bb blocking data access. Anyone try anything else?

[mmanuk1]

tried wifi and didnt work.
had the same feeling that the bb data was blocking the steram but wasnt sure.
oh well, would have been nice if it had, i would have paid for the service. too bad. will have to wait till a canada one is available.

it works perfectly on mine... but I had to install it twice though...

I have a rogers phone but with a Bell's firmware 5.0.0.423
