Yesterday my buddy Jay asked me if I had rebooted my phone immediately following that up with the fact that a new icon appeared on his Bold. I hadn’t done so in the past few days but when he explained that the new icon was the MyAccount app, I gave it a try. Too bad it didn’t work for me. No magic icon appearing – nuttin’!
Rogers MyAccount Blackberry App
Today he actually had installed the app and I wanted in, hoping it was a rolling installation I gave it another shot. 5 minutes later I had a rebooted phone and still had no icon. This prompted a mission to find out how to install this thing by force.
Here is what I found:
- Go to Options
- Select Advanced Options
- Select Host Routing Table
- Click the Menu button
- Select Register Now
- Wait for the device to register (you will get an email message letting you know when complete)
- When the My Account icon appears (it should be in the main apps section, if not in your Downloads folder), click on it then and follow the prompts to install
For those of you who don’t know what you are missing, it’s a very simple little app that tells you what voice minutes you have used/left, what data you have used/left and what text messages you have used/left for the billing cycle. It also tells you your balance on the account so you can see that you are up to date financially.
This is not a very complex app but something that is very handy. I often wonder if I have met my limits during a month and to have such an easy way to check them pretty much from wherever I want it handy to say the least.
Here is the link to the page on the Rogers website – well done Rogers.
Geek on!
