I put Ramble on my 8700C and it worked fine. A friend of mine got a 8700G and I am putting Ramble on it and everytime I try and connect it says

Invalid Connection String: Bad DNS Address

Help please?

Thanks

Does your friend have a BlackBerry Data Plan.

yes he does... I think it is because SunCom never set up the APN correctly... and when I called data/tech support at SunCom they had no clue what I was talking about

I tried VeriChat and I got the same error

I would try Yak-on if I were you, I used both Verichat and Ramble and they aren't as good IMO. It's also free.

the problem isn't the program it's not having SunCom's APN settings

just go to the tcp settings and if you have t-mo type in wap.voicestream.com.

Can you help me with my cingular version? i installed ramble on my 8700c and when i tried logging in i got the message: "invalid conncection string:could not open tunnel-failed"

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks

the problem is he doesn't have T-Mo. He has SunCom. It won't work no matter what APN setting I put in there. I think the programs weren't set up to work with a SunCom APN.

put this as your APN settings

APN: wap.cingular
APN USERNAME:
APN PASSWORD: CINGULAR1

yeah ive tried that and i still get that message.

any other ideas??

This worked like a charm.

And for user's whose admins are not implementing an MDS, make sure to set it to Device TCP.

Try these settings instead:


APN: wap.cingular
APN USERNAME:
APN PASSWORD: CINGULAR1


without the gprs...

I have a cingular 8700c and have problems with Ramble, too.

I've entered my login and p/w. I then see the "Logging In, Please Wait" pop-up endlessly. It'll stay up for hours.

Meanwhile, tho, I'm fairly sure its connecting with the AIM server and technically logging in... because on my PC I get a message on the AIM app saying I've signed in at another location.

Any ideas?

Ramble doesn't woerk perfect to me. I always get those error messages when I first install ramble and try logging in. Ill sometimes get that problem now and then. What I'll do to correct it is turn wireless off then back on, or turn the bb off by taking the battery out.

I'm on tmobile though (8700g).
The main problem I have is ramble doesn't keep me signed on! It logs you out after a while when you are idle.

will this work for the suncom 8700g?

will these settings work for the suncom 8700g?

no I've tried everything I can to get an IM client to work with a suncom blackberry. I've also tried all kinds of different APN's too. No Dice. I'm out of ideas

do you think some software will come out for it eventually?do you think this phone is better than the sidekick 3? thanks

Yak-On is not free. What gave you the idea it was?

And it sucks after trying it. Ramble for life.
