How to use blackberry as a HSDPA modem

[thrillseeker75]

Do anyone know how to use their blackberry phone as a HSDPA modem on the MTN network?

I assume for free on BIS? Otherwise just install the blackberry software that came with your phone.

Plug it in, desktop software will do the rest.

I would suggest getting a data bunle else you will pay the R2 per mb.

Its physically imposible and against the terms and conditions to use BIS in any way other than for on device browsing.

The moment you dial up from the pc the handset itself bypasses BIS and switches to normal internet data. Its part of the original design.

Well you could "tether" (that's also the app's name IIRC) it, possibly. But I think the service providers have protected themselves against it.

Tether is the function, BDM creates the tether, but it still uses internet and not BIS as tether dials the *99# number for dialing the connection and that's directly linked tot eh internet apn and not the blackberry.net apn. There is no way to use the blackberry.net apn through any means other than on device.

Even if you do get it to work, I presume there are fair usage policies in place, so if they were to notice that you suddenly use a lot of data on BIS, you could get a nasty surprise with a huge bill. Rather just get a data bundle.
