Enabling My Curve 9300 as a Mobile Hotspot - Is This Possible?

I have just bought a Microsoft Surface table. This does not have a 3G option. One thought is to access 3g via my Blackberry Curve 9300. Many mobiles can be enabled as a hotspot. Is this possible with the 9300?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please refer to this KB:
KB31857 How to setup and manage a Mobile Hotspot Connection
As you see, it's not your BB model number that matters, but rather your BB OS level, your data plan from your carrier (not all allow such), as well as any impact from BES (if you are on such).

  • Curve 9300 as wifi router

    I am looking for a app to enable my Curve 9300 to be used as a wifi or bluetooth router.
    Want share my 3g with my android tablet.
    Some one know how to do it? Or how to convince the Blackberry to build a app for this?

    Your BB may or may not have the ability to do this. If your BB OS is not sufficient, then the feature is not available. Further, some carriers restrict it's use.
    Good luck!

  • Use mobile hotspot to provide internet to Aiport Extreme?

    I just got a Sierra W801 mobile hotspot and want to use it as my internet for my home network. Right now it is tethered to my iMac via USB. It does not have any other ports, only wireless b/g and can only connect to up to 5 devices.
    I can think of two ways that might work, but so far have been unable to make either of these work.
    1. Set my iMac up to share it's internet connection (provided by the mobile hotspot) through its ethernet port which is connected to the airport extreme.
    Or..
    2. Use the airport extreme to joint the wireless network provided by the mobile hotspot. This is how it is currently set up, but AppleTV won't talk to my iMac and the cable box can't get to the internet via ethernet. But at least I have a green light.
    Which of these two might have the best chance of success? Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?

    Is there perhaps another option that I'm not aware of?
    Something like this type of Cellular Broadband Adapter would do what you want, assuming that it is compatible with your provider's service.

  • Curve 9300 as wifi hotspot

    Hi,
     Will I be able to turn my curve 9300 to wifi hot spot and share its internet with laptop.
    If it work I can save money spending on broadband dongles... does any one have any idea?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Operating System v7.1 is required for mobile hotspot, and the 9300 model is not supported for OS7.1
    So, in short, no.

    Refer:

    The function has two prerequisites:
    You be on an adequate OS level
    You be on a data plan, from your carrier, that is adequate to enable the HotSpot function
    Good luck!

  • Enable mobile hotspot.  How do I connect iPad?

    I enabled mobile hotspot on my Motorola Droid and my iPad sees it but there is no place to put the password in.  I just set up the mobile hotspot on the phone.  I didn't pay any extra to Verizon.  I have the family share plan.  So will this work?  Any help would be appreciated!

        Hey there debijr!
    I hope you had a good holiday! I am here to help with your hotspot. So let me clarify, you turned on the hotspot on you Razr, but you do not see a place for the password on the iPad? Correct? If so, you may want to take a look at the settings (depending on which Droid, it may just be under the mobile hotspot and press the MENU button) and see what type of security you have. If it is OPEN, no password is required, however, is it's security enabled, there would be a field for the password.
    Secondly, which family share plan are you on? Is this Nationwide? If so, there is an extra feature needed for the hotspot. However, with the new Share Everything plans, this is included at no extra charge.
    Let us know if this helps or if you need anything additional in help.
    Thanks!

  • I REALLY NEED HELP WITH MY CURVE 9300'S WIFI!

    HI !
    i have a blackberry curve 9300, OS5. I got it secondhand. It worked really great, but the problem started when I've done that thing within the host routing table. Though my wifi is connected, I can't use the internet. whenever I tried the BB browser and any other application (e.g. facebook, opera mini, etc.) i get a message that says 'i am not in an area that supports blah blah...' or 'unable to connect to internet please try again later'. I checked the browser under browser config and it is set to my local network provider. i changed it to hotspot browser, saved it. But whenever I go back it also goes back to my local network provider. i have tried almost EVERY troubleshooting I've read on this forums and in other forums but still no luck. The problem worsened when I did a security wipe on the emails, contacts, etc.
    -APN settings are disabled
    -default browser set to hotspot browser
    -firewall disabled
    -data services are on
    Everyone said that it has nothing to do with that activation enterprise so I did not configured it after wiping.
    I also tried doing a hard reboot (pulling the battery out and waiting for 5 minutes before turning it on) but it will only fix the problem for sometime and it will go back again.
    Calling my network provider would just suggest to get a plan when in fact, I was able to use the device's wifi well before without any plan.
    I don't want to upgrade my BB to OS6 coz it easily drains the battery of device and I cannot afford doing that because I go out a lot.
    I also tried changing my sim card and network provider but wasn't successful.
    I also tried deleting the name of my local network provider in the service book under options.
    What do you think could be the problem? Any suggestions? I really, really, REALLY, need help.
    PLEASE ! THANK YOU VERY MUCH IN ADVANCE!

    Hi miochan984,
    Welcome to the support community!
    A supported data plan from your mobile network provider may actually be required to use the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones application as well as the browser. I would recommend verifying with them which services they support over a Wi-Fi connection without a data plan.
    Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Firewall Curve 9300

    Não consigo desbloquear o firewall do blacberry curve 9300.
    Acredito que por este motivo, não há o icone do navegador, então não consigo entrar ne internet, facebook, twitter, etc...
    Aparece para mim apenas o Enable, mas não consigo clicar no icone?
    Como faço para desbloquear???

    Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
    You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as additional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
    So, call your carrier and inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
    Good luck.

  • Curve 9300 won't use wifi service

    So I am not the first person to have this problem.  I've been trawling the web searching for solutions but no-one seems to have any.
    The problem is that my Curve 9300 will not use wifi connection instead of network data services.  I can connect to wifi networks just fine.  The phone searches the networks out, connects, puts the little icon on the home screen to say it's connected to a wifi network.  It lists the name of the network up the top.  Everything's great, except that when you actually go to use the internet, the phone connects to your data services instead of the wifi and you get charged for data consumption.
    If you turn off the network services to try and force the phone to connect to the wifi instead, you get the error message:
    "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication.  As a result, the Browser cannot retrieve any web pages.  Please try again when you are in a different location, or contact your service provider if the problem persists."
    To confirm:
    My Data Services are on.
    My APN settings are disabled.
    In Advanced Options, my Default Browser Configuration is set to Hotspot browser.
    In General Properties the default browser is Hotspot browser.
    In Browser Configuration, the browser is set to AT&T Mobile Web.  I have tried to change it to Hotspot Browser but I save the changes and leave the screen, then when I go back in to check, it's back to AT&T again.  It's not saving the changes to make Hotspot the default configuration.
    I did a battery pull to see if that would help and after the restart it allowed me to keep Hotspot as the default configuration but it still wouldn't connect if the mobile service was turned off.  It has now reverted itself back to AT&T and still won't work.
    I have read the thread on the Bold forum but for all the people complaining of having the same issue, there was still no solution.  I really want a resolution to this because I do a lot of travelling and my sim card can not always connect to a local network.  I want to be able to go to a local coffee shop and be able to connect, even if I don't have phone service in a foreign airport.  I don't understand what the point is in having wifi on a phone if you can't use it.
    Solved!

  • Need help with a Blackberry Curve 9300, please...

    Hello, everyone, I had a look around the forum and came across a post which offered advice one what to include in questions, so I have tried to include the info below. 
    Device info
    Your carrier: Unlocked (was using Virgin)
    Model info and OS version (Go to Settings, then Options, then about): Blackberry Curve 9300, OS 6
    Apps and free space
    File free before and after a battery remove/replace. (Go to Settings, then Options, then status): 60%
    Did a battery pull fix your issue? No
    Apps installed and their version if possible.   (Go to Settings, then Options, then applications): None, only the ones that come with it after reset to factory
    BT device model/version (you will have to look at the BT device): Don't know what this means
    When writing your question
    Any other details that would help us out with your issue: This was my teenage brother's phone, which since has been given to me. The phone was severely mistreated; thrown around, stepped on and chewed. The battery had to be replaced as well as the middle chassis and the front and back cases along with the keyboard, bottom clip and screen. 
    Good description of what is really wrong and how to reproduce if possible. Details of what you did before: I managed to get it working after I had replaced everything listed above, but it will not charge using the cable. I have to keep taking the battery out and plugging it in seperately to charge, then putting back in the phone. This is after replacing the cable as my brother broke that too, so it's not the cable. He's damaged the data/ charge port.
    The camera will not work, but at the moment I am not looking for a solution for that. The error is: "Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again". No applications are open and the OS has just been updated to the most recent version. For this reason, I think he's managed to break that too and it would need to be replaced if that's possible.
    My issue at the moment... My mother, as you can imagine is furious with him for trashing the phone she bought him at about £250 when it was new a couple of years ago. So, as I have managed to get it to turn on and pick up wi-fi, she has said I can keep it. I am on Virgin Mobile and this phone is unlocked. It will not pick up any network even using my Virgin SIM card which works fine. My brother was also using it on Virgin.
    I can use it with wi-fi and have already contacted t-mobile and Virgin Mobile to make there there's no problem with them. There isn't. The number has been put under my ownership and the phone registered to me now. It is not blocked or blacklisted, yet, only comes up with SOS for network.
    Because of this, they and the local phone shop think he might have damaged the antenna inside. I am an iPhone user, this is the first time I have used a Blackberry, so I have no idea - can the antenna be repaired by myself? 
    Or, given that the camera doesn't work either/ needs replacing, would it just be better to get a replacement using my contents insurance? I am unsure which would be cheaper, to get the parts and try and fix it myself, or pay the excess for the insurance. 
    Advice appreciated... Thanks in advance.

    Hey MaggzieP,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    This KB article will determine if it is a software or hardware related issue for the camera: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15544
    Also if you tried more than 1 SIM card in the BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone and it still shows SOS, this could be hardware related as well.
    For all repairs, I can only suggest checking with the point of sale or network service provider for further options.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • How do I set up my iphone 5s to use it as a mobile hotspot?

    I recently switched over to the More Everything plan and wish to enable mu iPhone 5s so that it can be used as a mobile hotspot. How do I do this (e.g.. what settings do I need to change on my iPhone). Also: Is it a one-time setup (enable it and then just leave it alone and enabled always) or do I go through the enabling process only for the times when I"ll actually be using the iPhone as a hoy spot?
    Thanks for reading this and any replies.

    Hi Richardro,
    We are so excited to hear of your interest in the Personal Hotspot feature! Click here for the instructions to setup the Hotspot on the device. You will only have to setup the device and account once. You may have to turn the personal hotspot off/on when using the feature, per it may stop broadcasting the Wi-fi signal after long period of inactivity.

  • Connecting MiFi 4510L mobile hotspot to a PC

    I recently upgraded my mobile hotspot to the 4510L 4G LTE. My previous MiFi device allowed me to connect my PC to the internet by USB cable. My new device came with a USB cable however it says its only used for updates/upgrades. I tried to use it anyways to connect my PC to the internet and it did not work. Of course the new device works well wirelessly with my laptop. Can I use my new device to connect my PC to the internet?

    You cannot tether / connect to the MiFi 4510L via USB cable. 
    The MiFi is wireless connection only device.  USB and Ethernet cable connections will not work with the MiFi.  If you need to use a cable then you must add a different device such as the one suggested by evdotech. 
    ex. MiFi ))))wireless)))) MBR95 ---cable--- Computer.
    The USB cable is only used for charging and firmware updates.  The 2.23 firmware update will enable you to take future updates over the air further reducing the use of the USB cable.

  • Invisible cursor in email messages on Curve 9300

    Hello,
    Just got new Curve 9300 (previously had Pearl). My OS is 6.0 Bundle 2534 (v6.0.0.570, Platform 6.6.0.212). My carrier is Orange.
    I have noticed that the cursor is not visible in messages in my Desktop email box (i.e.. Email coming from my employer's BES), but the cursor is visible in other email boxes.
    However, in my Desktop email box, I can make the cursor visible by clicking the Shift key.
    This is not really a problem, but I am curious whether it is a bug or a feature and whether other Curve 9300 owners have had the same experience.
