Browsing internet on Blackberry without a
special pack from an operator
So you bought a new blackberry. Cool ha! Now
you want to do all the possible things with
your blackberry. Check your mail, browse
internet, etc.etc.. So how do I configure
internet on my blackberry.
I wanted to do the same. I had GPRS
activated on my number however I was unable
to browse internet from my blackberry. It used
to give me a message “Check your Wi-Fi
connection “. So I called up the customer care
and the representative told me, ”You CAN
NOT browse internet on blackberry with
normal GPRS, you have to buy a special data
pack only then I will be able to use internet on
blackberry. I said, ”what nonsense? I have a
device with capability to connect to internet.
Only thing that I need is connectivity. So why
not GPRS ?” Strange, so I started looking on
the internet for all the possible way to browse
the internet with GPRS and I found a
workaround.
Let ’s go slow here. First of all let me tell you
what you need to do first.
1 – You need to go to Menu – Manage
connections – Mobile Network
It will ask you for the APN name &
Password. You can get the APN name and
password from your provider. (For Airtel ;
APN Name :- Airtel Password :- leave it
blank)
Once you are done with this. You need to turn
on your GPRS connection.
Now go to your computer. Download “Opera
mini” browser on your desktop
Transfer it to your Blackberry
You will find it under downloads
Install it.
From here onwards ,whenever you want to
browse the internet .Just open the opera
connect with GPRS and you can browse the
web.
However on the flipside, you can not watch
videos like you tube or google videos with the
help of Opera.
Checking Emails on Blackberry :-
The other thing that you would like to do is to
check you emails on blackberry. Well if you
want to check the gmail you can download the
Gmail application for blackberry for free
http://www.google.com/mobile/products/
mail.html#p=default .
Well if you want to check the corporate email
on blackberry without paying for extra
blackberry data plan to your mobile operator
then you can download Funambol from
www.funambol.com/. This is a 90 days free
trial. I don ’t know how much they charge
after that, but its worth a try.
Other applications that I found worth
downloading are
1)Google Mobile App:- Gives you the power to
access all the google services at one place.
2)Google Maps:- Well you can access it from
google mobile app. However if you are a
frequent traveler and needs to go to maps
regularly. It ’s good to find directions with this
app
3) File Scout: -So you want a explorer so that
you can access all your files the windows way.
Well this application solves the problem.
That ’s it for now. Will keep you posted if I
find anything new. Till then happy browsing
on your blackberry and lets tell the operators
that they can not full us with anything.
