I have read ways around the “BLACKBERY DATA PLAN” to access the internet. I have a 7290 with Opera Mini installed and running v4.1.0.377. When I set the APN to “proxy” as suggested on Opera Mini’s web set I have no luck. I noticed that other service providers have additional settings such as username, password, port, etc…

Opera Mini opens up and gives me an error pointing me to their website. I just read that you may have to try in excess of 10 times.

I have a Cingular data plan, but no Blackberry data plan. What settings do I need to configure in order to access the internet?

Thank you in advance.

You need to find & enter onto your device Cingular's APN settings.

Doing a google search for 'carrier APN settings ' should help you find a list of APN settings for each carrier.

There settings can be found in the BBFaq
