If you are using an unlocked Verizon blackberry Tour 9630 or Storm 9530, you might be having the problem of the phone calling rather than requesting when you dial any service code like *556# or *123# to check account balance or load credit.
The problem is common when you are on a pay as you go plan or not on an active BIS plan, this is very annoying, but today i will give you a simple step to solving the problem.
The Verizon Blackberry Tour (9630) and Blackberry Storm (9530) were manufacture that way and below is the guide to show you how to dial service codes on the devices.
- You should goto Options –>Mobile Network and make sure Data Services is turned ON.
- Secondly while at Mobile Network, press the blackberry menu button click on Diagnostics Test, press the Blackberry menu button again and click Run! it will do some processes and you should be able to check your account balance afterward with no issue.
NOTE: You will have to do this same process every time you want to check your account balance.
Thank you so much

Method 1:
First, deliberately dial your customer care number, for Mtn Users its 180 or 181. Or you can just dial any wrong number.
At the same time while the 1st call is trying to connect, without even waiting to hear network response, pull-up your dial-pad and dial any USSD code you want (eg *556# account balance for MTN) then send.
And Boom, your account balance displays on the screen.
Method 2:
This Actually the better fix for any Verizon blackberry device.
Dial ##000000 You will come to a screen, In there you want to change the “Mobile Directory Number” to your number with the area code and shows you date of device manufactured and other device information. Press BB Menu button and save your changes. The “#000000” is only for Verizon devices.
