Hi,
Great resources on this site!
If you have the Japan NTT Docomo Blackberry solution then IP Modem functionality is possible.
Following instructions are for non-techs that want to give it a go:-
Must have the Blackberry driver installed to detect it as a modem. Will have one of the higher available COM ports.
Must have the Blackberry Desktop Manager software installed.
Must subscribe to the “Mopera U light plan”. Contact docomo to it added to your contract. It costs 300 yen monthly. (FYI There is also an email MOpera plan at 500 monthly which is the same thing with an email address).
You will not get this Mopera service as standard when ordering a blackberry!
Find the blackberry modem in control panel.
View Properties ->Advanced.
Extra Settings:
“Extra Initialization Commands.”
Add this line exactly as it looks(technically you don’t need the ‘at’).
at+cgdcont=1,"IP","mopera.net"
Then create a new network connection as a standard dial up modem.
Select your BB modem and name the connection accordingly.
No ID or password is required.(My preference is to set the password to blank. Otherwise it may grab your PC login ID.)
Number to Dial is:
*99#
Must have the Desktop Manager Software running when using the BB as an IP Modem.
