swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap >
Networks and Connections > Mobile Network.
Make sure the
Data Services switch is turned on.
I can only see email for the last 30 days

days. To change this setting, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap >
Accounts. Tap the email account. Tap

I can't find my work email in the BlackBerry Hub
If you added a work account to your BlackBerry device, your administrator might have turned on a policy
that separates the BlackBerry Hub into a work view, which contains your messages and notifications for
only your work account, and a personal view, which contains your messages and notifications for only
your personal accounts.
To see the work view, in the BlackBerry Hub, tap
>
Switch To Work.
I can't see the recipients for a message
To see the other recipients of a message and the account that you received the message in, in the
message, at the top-right corner of the screen, tap the arrow.
I can't send or forward a text message
You might not be able to forward an SMS or MMS message if the content of the message includes
copyright-protected information.
If you use a work account that is supported by an EMM solution from BlackBerry, your administrator
might not allow you to send text messages, but you might still be able to receive text messages.
I can't attach a file to a text message
The file might be too large, or your wireless service plan might not support MMS messaging, which is
required to attach files to text messages. Contact your service provider for more information.
I can't find the BlackBerry Hub or the Text Messages icon
You might have removed the icons from your home screen. Try any of the following:
• Even though icons don't appear on your home screen, you can still access your messages directly
from the BlackBerry Hub. On the home screen, swipe right to open the BlackBerry Hub. To view only
your text messages, tap
>
Text Messages.
