I am using BB enterprise version and currently subcribe to Singtel BB service with unlimited plan. My ISP told me if I use the BB device to surf the net, it is included in my plan - unlimited. BUT IF I use my DOPOD 838Pro to surf the net, it is not included in the plan since the dial-up connection is not via BB server.
Is there a way to connect to BB server to surf the net?

Blackberry connect does not support MDS which is normally how you would do web surfing via the BB connection. Hence with a device with BB connect, you need to use normal GPRS for your internet access hence the extra charge.

I get loads of free minutes, but don't like paying for GPRS.
I can set-up a dial-up server on my home computer and connect to activesync via gsm and use my free minutes to collect my email.
Is it possible to use this same method to surf the net, once connected to my home network. I know that it only connects at 9600, but at least I won't have to pay any extra for it.
I used to be able to do it throught my ISP, but now they only have non-geographic dial-up numbers and they're not included in my free minutes.
What are you guys using to connect to the internet? I can do everything I want with T-zones unlimited, using the proxy... however, if I use the proxy, I can't connect to wi-fi because it wants to try to connect thru the proxy. What services are you using and what are your settings?
Thanks,
Danny
i will use
I wont get my MDA till monday according to UPS, but when i get it i plan on getting the Total Internet plan for 29.99. it includes GPRS, EDGE and Hot Spots. That is the plan the tmobile is advertizing with this phone.
I have the T-Mobile total internet package. I am not using the proxy server, and it connects to Hotspot just great.
However, I have not tried to access T-Zones. Well, I tried once, and got a network solutions 'page coming soon' thing. I doubt I have it correct. lol
hot spot
how does the hot spot autentication work?
im assuming they made it so i wouldnt be able to just put in my username and password on my laptop and log it into a hotspot.
I have unlimited internet 19$ plan.
I don't use any proxy server.
I don't think you can use the regular t-zone on this phone ($9 plan).
Otherwise all good, just use: internet2.voicestream.com in the gprs setup and the rest emty.
my 5.99 tmobileweb with proxy works very well with any website using internet explorer mobile. it doesn't work, however, with outlook or any other mail client or application that doesn't know how to use proxy. i'm glad that virtual earth 1.5 works well even with my tmobileweb plan.
as for the problem that the original poster described, in the connection settings, i created a connection especially for wifi. and to switch between wifi and tmobileweb, i go to 'select networks' and choose which ever connection i want in the two drop-down lists that i have.
Proxy Setup
msafi,
What are the settings for setting up the proxy? I used the proxy with my Nokia 6600 just fine, but, cannot get it to work on the MDA Wizard.
Thanks, SK
Hi,
I have a Cingular 8525 with the unlimited PDAConnect data plan. From what I have gathered, tethering to a laptop requires the Cingular Laptop Connect plan (which costs more). I saw a program on the Internet called PDANet (for tethering) and I am curious as to how Cingular sees this data. Do they recognize it as PDAConnect data, or do they infact know that its a Laptop being tethered and bill appropriately?
I ask because I plan on using my 8525 for both PDA browsing and tethering. Not trying to circumvent anything here.
Thanks!
I think I answered my own question:
Connecting to the Internet using the Cingular 8525 USB to Windows XP via Dial-up Networking
SUBJECT:
Connecting to the Internet using the Cingular 8525 USB to Windows XP via Dial-up Networking
FACT:
Cingular 8525
Windows Mobile 5.0
Microsoft Windows XP
USB
SYMPTOM:
Modem / Tethering
ADVISORY:
Data charges are billed based on the subscribed rate plan.
Note: Customers who wish to tether with their PDA device and have an unlimited PDA data plan will need to upgrade their rate plan to a Data Connect Plan for Laptops. Unlimited Data Connect Plans for PDA do not include tethering capabilities and may incur additional charges.
If you connect on your phone with the [email protected] settings you can use the wireless modem program found on the Tytn extended rom and the drivers for XP/2000 found in this forum to connect without incurring any additional charges.
Search this forum for the answers, there are some specific posts that helped me out awhile ago. The drivers for XP/2000 also work for vista on my laptop in compatability mode.
Here is a post I had initiated awhile ago, It may help.
Does it possible to hack Blackberry connect on WM5 & Qtek 9000
and surf net via blackberry.net APN. I have unlimited plan on
Blackberry, and it is possible to use web browser on Blackberry
devices.
Well, how to use APN blackberry.net for surfing web??
thx
Hey guys,
My wifi router for my home office crapped out today, so for the first time I tried to do internet sharing on my 8525.
I could not get it to connect using the My ISP GPRS setting, but it does connect with Media Net.
However, per the AT&T site, and a post I read while trying to search this here, I think I'll get hit with add'l charges setting it up this way. Is that true?
And if so, how the heck can I connect via the recommended My ISP GPRS setting??
(By the way, I don't have a Media Net plan, I have the PDA data plan/Goodlink plan).
Please help!!! Thanks!

That's the page I was referring to in my original note since it states: "IMPORTANT: All tethering must be done over the My ISP GPRS profile or isp.cingular APN. Tethering using the default MEdia Net profile or wap.cingular APN could result in additional data charges"
I am only able to connect internet sharing when set to Media Net, which is the way it says not to do it (but no other way works).
I just want to make sure i don't get socked with some crazy extra fees for doing this this way. (I do have the pda unlimited plan/goodlink plan, so i hope I don't get any data fees)
the PDA data plan only allows you access to the media net connection, and you are not suppose to tether using the pda data plan.......which is why that warning in there. there are countless threads out there covering this........you *might* be able to find them.

Check #6 in the instructions. These instructions assume you have set up a second My ISP connection using isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular. Try searching the AT&T site, possibly for "Laptop Connect."
I have the PDA plan and have been able to use My ISP (wap.cingular) for email and My ISP (isp.cingular) for tethering with no problem.
