There are no special ways of turning on the Blackberry.

Simply power on - it is fully charged - if this doesn't work, remove the battery for a couple of seconds and re-try power on.

How to insert the sim card into BlackBerry 8130

If this is a Verizon phone then it most likely does not have a SIM card. If it does have one then it should be located under the battery. If your phone has a SIM card, here are the instructions for removal. Just reverse for install.

My blackberry pearl 8100 need a sim subsidy unlock in order for me to used with my carrier how can i get it

1) Contact your service provider to obtain instructions and the SIM unlock code for your device.
2) Download one of the following files:-
a) sim ulock tool serial blackberry.zip
b) sim unlock tool usb blackberry.zip
3) Extract the file and save it to your personal computer.
4) Connect the device to the personal computer.
5) Double-click the downloaded file. If prompted, enter your device password.
The unlock tool runs, and the device resets when complete.
6) Proceed with the SIM unlock instructions from your service provider.

NOTE:-This happen's when you're trying to change the service provider.
If you intend to change your service provider, contact your current provider and inquire whether your BlackBerry device's SIM card is locked. If your BlackBerry device has a locked SIM card, you will need an unlock code. Some carriers charge a fee for this. Once the BlackBerry device is unlocked, it will accept a new SIM card and a new service provider.

New BB 8130 Pearl phn and new battery and its been charging

Remove the battery, then remove the Memory card and Sim card (if you have a sim card). Then replace battery. Try this. If this does not work, while off try connecting the device to your pc, through bb desktop software. If the device STILL does not turn on or your pc does not recognize it, you may have a hardware problem.

Link To BB Desktop software: Click Me

Hope this helps
