Today, while looking for a Modem to Browse to no
Avail, I decided to use my Blackberry Phone as a
Modem to Surf tthe Internet.. Can you Imagine,
Blackberry as a Modem Internet Speed is 3x faster
than that of the Original Internet Modem.. But i bet
less than 5% of Blackberry users use their Phone as
Modem! I Trust the Nokia Fans on this Level.
Though Most People dont use Blackberry as a
Modem to Browse on PC because they see it as a
very Technical stuff, We are gonna put you on the
Right Lane yet a very Fast Track.
This Tutorial will guide you through the quick steps
needed to configure your BlackBerry Desktop
Manager’s mobile internet settings and thus get you
connected to the web. Please note that you’ll need to
have another data plan with your network provider
as you cannot use your BIS to surf the internet on
your desktop/laptop.
NOTE: You have to be Subscribed to the Internet on
any of the Data Plan of your Network that Suit you
e.g 100MB for N1000 Monthly. After subscribing to
your plan of choice, please take note of the Internet
Settings of that particular network
