Need help with bluetooth tethering
Hello,
I have a Nokia N810 and a Blackberry Curve 8330 for Sprint. When I connect, my nokia asks me if I want to use this phone for internet connections. I say yes and then it asks me for my username and password. Is that my phone number because I don't know. If I just press ok, then it says error connecting to phone. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks |
Re: Need help with bluetooth tethering
I dont have a blackberry. But I was able to tether my Treo/palm phone sometime back, and here is a step by step.
1) Can your blackberry access the web? If so, you should know phone number for the dial-up, your user name, and the account password. If not, call up your subscription, they will tell you, if you can prove who you are. 2) Pair your N810 with the blackberry by the BT. 3) setup dial-up from your N810 4) if successful, when click on your N810, will wake the blackberry and get connect. I do not have a blackberry, in a 'nut'-shell, that is what one do in tethering. good luck bun |

I have a similar setup, an n800 with a blackberry curve. Uptil about a month ago, I could get on to my everything-plan-sprint-blackberry, and now I can't. Sprint rep said that an audit was done, and the service was accidental, and has been stopped.
dial #777, blank user and pass was how I used to get connected. |
Re: Need help with bluetooth tethering
have you tried some sort of pan program for blackberry (no idea if they have them but it'd be kinda lame) and maemo-pan... works great with winmo 6/6.1

I don't know much about Blackberry or what hacks are available for the various models, but if you just can't get it working you can always try Mobile Stream's Blackberry Tethering Solution app for $9.95: http://www.mobile-stream.com/modem_bb.html It's a better deal than USBModem (by the same company) -- $24.95. :eek: That about killed me to have to pay that for a Palm app, but not having the ability to tether was rendering my N810 all but useless. -- Chris |
Re: Need help with bluetooth tethering
It looks like sprint blocked tethering and you have to pay a $60 fee every month to tether

Re: Need help with bluetooth tethering
Or you can just buy one of the tethering apps I mentioned above.
I am not condoning violating the terms of use policy with your mobile provider, and if you're a bandwidth abuser you may get caught and end up with your service temporarily deactivated. But you may be facing the same situation I am -- Sprint cut off tethering, but will not offer their official tethering service (PAM - Phone as Modem) in your service area. It is not offered in my Sprint home service area (even if it is available abroad) so Sprint will not allow me to subscribe to the service. My contract with Sprint is up in two months. If they don't properly resolve this situation, I will very likely not be renewing my service with them. Again, there is a trial version of these tethering apps. I'd give them a try before just giving up being able to tether. -- Chris |
