I (happily) know nothing about anything BlackBerry related.

I know it generally makes for good wine...

I think the top line is the answer to your problem, no service. I don't think you can set it up/connect to it unless you have either WiFi or Cellular data.

Do you have confirmed WiFi data?

Edit -Sorry I grab that pic on the Internet.
It was connected to Wifi-

You have internet access on the BB, correct? Make sure you are able to load some websites

Apparently this is a very common problem with BlackBerry devices. A google search shows alot of people having the same issue. It's no wonder that hardly anybody uses BB devices anymore.

Did you try to forcefully shutdown the app or reboot?

Also is the device software up to date? When I googled the issues, most of the dates were 2013 and early 2014. Maybe a software update has fixed the issue.

Yes, I reboot after I delete the BBM.
