I have access to a Cingular Blackberry 8700c provided by my company. This Blackberry was loaded with some-type of IT/Corporate policy that restricts all calls except for emergencies.

I just recently purchased a 7290 from ebay for personal use. The phone worked fine when I inserted a SIM card from another cell phone. I wanted to download my address book from the 8700 to the 7290 so I used the Blackberry Desktop Manager to do the down load. The download went just fine, but when I finished, I noticed that the IT policy from my 8700 had been downloaded to my personal 7290. The IT policy restricts calls, imposes password restrictions and aging, and several other things that I don't want on my 7290. I tried doing a "wipe clean", which is suppose to take the phone back to a default mode, but the IT policy was still there. Cingular/AT&T says there is nothing they can do. Does anyone know of anyway to remove the IT policy from my phone?

Flash it? Or beg the IT department with beer to take off their version (if they can).

Thanks Barry,
Believe it or not, my 16 year old found a forum where the default policy had been posted. We downloaded the policy to the Blackberry, and all is well.
Thanks again.
