A reader asked “How Do I Setup
Internet Connection on Blackberry
Smartphones powered by Smart Addict
Mobile ?” Whatever is your network, you
can configure your Blackberry
smartphones like Blackberry Curve
8900 and BlackBerry Curve 8320 to
connect to the internet by doing the
following:
1. Run BES-required Internet
software without BES
2. Instant Messaging, AIM, ICQ, MSN
(Verichat, WebMessenger,
BerryVine, IM+, etc.)
3. Full HTML web browsing ability
(Reqwireless, BlackBerry Browser,
etc.)
4. IRC chatting (virca, wlirc, etc.)
5. Telnet/SSH (Idokorro, etc.)
Other method to setup internet on your
Blackberry phones :
1. Upgrade your BlackBerryOS
2. You need BlackBerry with OS 3.8 or later.
If you have an older version of
BlackBerryOS, please Download
BlackBerryOS 4.0 and install it on your
BlackBerry first.
3. Configure your BlackBerry & Your Carrier
4. On the BlackBerry handheld, go to
Options -> TCP
5. There is a new option in BlackBerryOS 3.8
and later. Then fill in APN with the
provided APN listead in the below post,
that is appropriate for your carrier.
MTN - web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
GLO - glomms
ZAIN - internet.zain.com.ng
ETISALAT - etisalat
If
no username or password is provided,
leave these blank. If only a username is
provided, then leave in the password.
Also, ignore the Gateway IP address,
unless your Blackberry specifically has a
textbox to enter the IP address in.
“ APN” means “Access Point Name”.
Once
you have saved the APN information,
you should reboot your BlackBerry by
removing and reinserting the battery.
Run your BlackBerry Internet
Software . Once you have filled this
information, your Internet applications
should work on your BlackBerry. TCP/IP
makes Internet software work, including
chat software: Verichat, WebMessenger,
IRC, Telnet/SSH, Web browsing, etc.
If you
are in another country apart from NIGERIA, then check with your
network the internet configuration
settings for your Blackberry phone. You
can enable internet access using your
Blacberry phones if you know ahead of
time the needed values in order to gain
access to the internet.
