Hi.. Anyone using Singtel manage to use the device as a modem?

I'm using 7290 w/ BES both V4 and I've red in previus post that this will depend on your service provider and BES configuration (if enabled) :

Hi,
Im trying to setup my 7100R as a modem on my lab top.
Im experiencing the following problem:

1. Under the modem tab it does not have a new standard modem. i.e. It cant seem to see a COM6 or COM11 as others have mentioned.
2. Even when I setup a new modem, the only port available is COM1, which is already being used by another device. Nor can I query this same setup (com1).

How can I get past this. For some reason it doesnt seem to be recognizing any other COMS but COM1.

Thanks!!

Well I have read almost every post on this subject and can't figure were I went wrong. I can not get my 7520 to be recognized as a modem. I am on 4.0.0.30 of the Desktop manager
4.0.0.36 of the Handheld manager
1.1.02 of the RIM USB serial driver
I can see in device manager, under ports, Com 5 assigned to the RIM virtual serial port. I tried setting up a standard 19200 baud modem and assigned it to com 5, but no luck. When I tried to install the modem driver from prog files/common/RIM/modem drivers it sees rimserial.inf but says the specified location does not have info about my device.

Any hints on how to get it to recognize the BB as a modem? Using Windows 2000.

Thanks

I set my 7100t up for TMO a few months back. I used it the other day but connection is slow...like way slower than dialup ever was. Is there some setting that I am missing or something I dont know about? I cant imagine people here would try to use it if it was as slow as it is for me.

Working with Proximus Belguim

FYI - I have an unlocked Cingular 7290 that I've been using with T-Mobile. It has had the Vodafone 4.0 handheld software but I couldn't get the 7290 working (modem query never worked). I loaded the latest handheld software from T-Mobile and was able to query the modem right off the bat without any other changes. I doubt very many others will be in the same boat...

I simply uninstalled the desktop manager software and downloaded the program from the RIM website. Once installed I was able to see the modem on COM3.

If your having troubles seeing the modem just re-install desktop manager.

Anyone having any success using the 7290 as a modem?

Call me crazy, but...I guess no one has ever figured out the 7520 as a modem? I hope I don't have to change carriers just to make this work. Someone get back to me

KPN The Netherlands:
+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet."
dial *99#
no username and no password

another option:
+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet."
dial *99#
username "KPN" password "gprs" (any other name will do as well...)
DNS: 62.133.126.28 and 62.133.126.28
in this option you have to enter in the blackbarry option "TCP":
APN: Internet
Username: KPN
password: gprs

most other European settings can be found here:

good luck!

I really think that using the BB as a modem is a very good option for working abroad where no UMTS roaming is available! (unless you want to download lots of MB's)

How do you do this? I also, can not query my standard modem...

any ideas....

Working great! Just wish it was a bit faster

I get a meesgae as mentioned in above post. any way I can get past it?

Yes, I have been successful in using my 7290 as a modem for my laptop. I have Cingular. It took a while to read all the posts about getting it setup. But tried several suggestions and finally got the right settings. Have not traveled lately so I have not used it extensively but I've been successful every time I have used it.

To date, has anyone gotten their Nextel 7520 to function as a modem, and does it incur additional charges on top of the unlimited data plan.

The only way I could get my 7100g AT&T BB to work was to add "AT" in front of the initiazation command.

Thanks for your help. I changed the extra initialization string to AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","proxy

Guys,

i m new to BB and dont know much about it but can someone tell me if 7230 with OS 4.0 can be used as a fax modem to send faxes from my laptop.

Also if i can use it for data transfer for connecting to internet. My service provider is Airtel and I am based in India. Data transfers are unlimited with my service.

Help would be appreciated

No. The 7230 can not be used as a modem.
The very first page of this thread has an updated list of which BBs do and do not work as modems.

I have a 7520 and noticed i have no modem files. How do i get these?

I was successful in getting a connection...then the next day it didn't work...now I get an error 718. I followed all the instructions for Rogers and Notta...What am I doing wrong!

PEGS

Has anyone been ever to make a VPN connection through a blackberry modem connection? On any provider?

I had success and 2 days later nothing but error 718...Did you get yours up and running?

I'm hoping Nextel success will happen soon ;x

When I called Cingular I have not had any success in getting them to understand my request. Does anyone have any suggestions or a certain number that worked for you when you called. The problem I am having is the 734 PPP error. Which probably means the username and password are not correct for my account. If I change the APN to wap.cingular, the connection gives me a 691 username and password not correct for domain. If anyone has any ideas as to what I can to to get this to work it would be great.
