A BlackBerry smartphone with tethered modem capabilities can be used as an external modem to connect a computer or laptop computer to the Internet.

Summary of Tasks

To set up a tethered modem, complete the following tasks:

1. Install BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.1 or later (one time only).
2. Set up the Internet access point name (APN) (one time only).
3. Configure dial-up networking (one time only).
4. Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
5. Connect to the Internet using dial-up networking.



Task 1

Install BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.1 or later on the computer.

When you install BlackBerry Desktop Software, the drivers that allow the BlackBerry device to communicate through the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port and virtual COM port are installed. The Standard Modem, which is used by dial-up networking, is also installed.

Note: If upgrading your BlackBerry Desktop Software from version 4.0 to 4.1, the required Virtual COM Port and Standard Modem might be removed during the upgrade process. If this is the case, re-install the BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.1 or later and choose the Repair option to re-install these components.

Task 2

Set up an Internet APN.

1. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Phone and Modem Options.

7. In the Extra initialization commands field, type the following:

+cgdcont=1,"IP","<your Internet APN>"

Note: The following is applicable for BMobile customers:

The Extra initialization command is: +cgdcont=1,"IP","Internet"

Note: If you do not know your Internet APN, or if you do not have an Internet APN, contact your service provider.

1. Click OK.
2. In the Phone and Modem Options window, click OK.

To configure dial-up networking, complete the procedure that is appropriate to the operating system you are using:

Tether berry not working. When I put in

Drops off the EDGE network (common letters and no internet access)

Help please!

same thing was happening when tried tethering my laptop to my mom's BB- EDGE changed to edge & then nothing

I used "Internet" as the APN- should I use something else? I just moved to Cleaver Heights in Arima so no Internet access right now.

Actually I forgot to mention it's Bmobile- I did get on for a few seconds loading google.com very slow- but afterwards like I said b4 the Edge connection seems to cut off soon after

I went into the Options menu and saw the APN as blackberry.net I wondering if to use that instead- will try it when I go home
