Hi, Im new to bb, using a curve with bis service and 4.2 os. Bb browser isnt what i thought so I downloaded opera mini 4 and minuet, but none of them is able to find a connection. I have read lots of threads and faqs and cant understand what is going on. Also with im 3rd party software, the only one working is jive talk using the bis service. Would anyone explain me go does bb connects to the internet? What is the difference between bis and tcp connections? Pleas answer me in the simplest way possible... Thanks.

Both are explained or defined here:
BlackBerry Glossary - BlackBerryFAQ.com

Do you have your tcp settings? You do need for Opera.
What are the TCP and APN settings? - BlackBerryFAQ.com

Thanks JSanders, it nice to talk with one of the best bb users in the forum. Ive read what you told me to do, and I've almost got it. So my bb is using an exclusive APN that allows bb apps to connect to the internet (something related to "service book" i guess) and could use another APN so not bb apps could connect to. Am I right?
My carrier (movistar Ecuador) doesnt even know of the APN access.

A quick internet search found -

Operator = Movistar
Country = Ecuador
APN = internet.movistar.com.ec
username = movistar
password = movistar

(I would try initially with username/password blank, as may well be unneccessary)

Will work only if you are provisioned with this Access Point, cannot work for blackberry apps, these rely on service books for their settings.

If you are provisioned for it and it works then please post back, obviously no other method of verification ;).

cheers

Well worm, thanks for info. Have tried with and without user/password and no access. Just to doubts. 1 i configured apn access and have rebooted handlet, removed battery and sim and then put them back and on again, is that the way it has to be done? 2 i dont understand what do you mean with "provisioned", could you explain it a little bit specific? Really thanked for your answer and hope to receive another one.

Provisioned: enabled on your BlackBerry.

So, how do you know it is not working? What application are you testing the connection with?

First with operamini 4, failed to connect; then with jivetalk configured to use tcp access, gave a kind of tunnel mistake. I found another configuration, mostly the same but instead of internet.movistar.com.ec it is wap.movistar.com.ec. Do you think it could be a valid one???
