BlackBerry smart cell phones enable users to keep in touch with friends, family and business contacts via phone, email, text message and instant BlackBerry message. All of those methods of contact are moot if the user can't turn on her BlackBerry device. Discover how to turn on your BlackBerry phone.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make sure the battery is correctly in place and charged. Often, a user is unable to turn on her BlackBerry phone because the battery is either incorrectly placed or the phone is out of charge. Verify that the battery is correctly placed by removing the battery, and then placing the battery back in the BlackBerry so that the metal lines on the battery line up with the metal lines in the phone. When the battery is in correctly, plug in the charger and allow the phone to charge for at least an hour before attempting to turn it on again.

  2. Step 2
     

    Press the button with the red phone on it. This is commonly known as the "disconnect call" button, and is located on the upper right-hand side. Hold the button down for several seconds, and the phone will turn on.

  3. Step 3

    Press the BlackBerry button (the button with seven dots on it). Scroll through all of the icons until you find the "Options" icon. This is an image of a wrench. Select the "Options" icon, and scroll down to "Auto On/Off." After selecting "Auto On/Off," you can specify which times you want your phone to automatically turn on each morning. Choose the "enable" option on the pop-up menu, and save changes. This will allow you to turn the phone on each morning with no effort.
