Using Blackberry as a data modem

Blackberry Curve 8530 - Sprint
I am trying to use my blackberry as a simple, old-fashined data modem.
Every two weeks I am required to transmit a data file to Baton Rouge, LA using XMODEM protocol.
All the modem info on the Blackberry site seems geared to connecting to the Internet which I do NOT need.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

USING BLACKBERRY 7290 AS MODEM FOR MACBOOK

I have been told this is possible. I have been on numerous boards with no help. I have been on PocketMac.com and downloaded the version to sync via usb. I need to find a way to use my 7290 as a modem for my Macbook. I have the new MacBook with Intel Core 2 duo and Mac OSX. Anyone out thereknow how this can be done? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

A Blackberry 8703e is a Sprint device, so you'll have to resolve the issue with Sprint.
Sprint fields what they term the Sprint PCS Business Connection. You'll need that option if it is not already part of your subscription plan, and you'll need to tether a laptop through your Blackberry 8703e and your carrier via USB. Bluetooth connections via DUN are not supported. To enable a connection, Sprint states that you'll need the Sprint Connection Kit, which you find for several different operating systems—including Mac OS X—here:
http://www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/support/downloads/index.jsp?internalId=downlo ads
Except that, I wasn't able to locate a package for your Blackberry when I looked there: only packages for Sprint's PC data cards seemed to be available. So, you must perform the recursive loop at this point, and contact Sprint.
I don't believe that anyone but Sprint will be able to resolve the issue for you. You certainly cannot do it without enabling the data option, which only they can activate.

Using blackberry as modem for wireless communication for laptop

I've seen this done but wasn't able to find instructions on how to do this. Does anyone know how to use the blackberry curve as a modem for wireless connectivity for laptop? What settings do I need and any software for the laptop needed?

Hi there!
Here are the RIM KB's about the topic. All other information you will need to get from your carrier.

If I buy a used Blackberry, do I need or do they automatically add data plan? I don't want it

I can upgrade, but not really sure if I want to pay an additional $30 for a data plan. I was thinking of buying a used blackberry first, can I use it for txt and calls, or do I need to add a data plan for it to work?
I wish I could get the $9.99 plan, but the phones are junk.....help

If you activate a smartphone on the Verizon network, it will automatically add the $29.99/month unlimited data feature to your account.
These phones do NOT need data to FUNCTION, and they could make calls, send texts, use wifi, etc. just fine without Verizon's data plan. Verizon chooses to require you to pay for the data plan in order to access the privelege of activating that type of device on their network.
The phones which require the $9.99/month plan ARE generally a bad value. They make poor use of the data feature, and they will probably never be free of that requirement. I would suggest looking at older 3GMM type phones. Models like the enV2 and original Samsung Alias do not require the data plan but offer more substantial feature sets and higher quality than the currently available "Feature" phones.
Thanks, it just seems crazy. I am eligible for 4 of my phones, for the "FREE PHONE EVERY 2 YRS", and it almost seems like I am down grading? We have a LG voyager, and 3 LG dares. There are no phones in the verizon line that compare to these with out going to a 9.99 or 29.99 extra/mth charge? It just does not seem right?
Am I missing something?

Can I use USB 3G data Modem on my iPad MINI as wifi is not Available everywhere?

Can I use USB 3G data Modem on my iPad MINI as wifi is not Available everywhere, I have just purchased one.

You can't connect a USB 3G dongle to an iPad, it won't be recognised. You can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad (if you phone carrier supports it), or you can get mifi devices which act as mobile hotspots

How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
Question 1:
I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error).
Can anyone help?
Question 2:
Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
Thank you, Lar

hello,
first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :

HTTP connectivity error while using Blackberry MDS and JDE 5.0.0

Hello,
I am using BB MDS simulator 4.1.2 and BB JDE 5.0.0 for testing sample Oracle ADF Mobile client apps that I have developed.
My app tries to access webservices via HTTP.
Here is where I am encountering a HTTP connectivity issue.
1. For instance, while trying to test HTTP using Blackberry browser, I see the error : "Unknown host mobile.blackberry.com:80"
2. The sample I tried to run to test webservices - accepts a word from the user and gets it translated in to a desired language, using a webservice provided on the internet.
Here, I have tried to translate the word 'madam' from English to French.
I have encountered a HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request.
Kindly have a look at the MDS Trace as below (related entries in bold) and suggest if I am missing something from the configuration perspective.
PS : I have tried various options from the blackberry forums but they were not very helpful.

Hi, there:
A couple of things to try and check:
- Does your network connection goes through proxy server? If you are behind a proxy server, then you would need to set up proxy server in MDS by open the file <MDS simulator install>/config/rimpublic.property, go to the [HTTP Handler] section, and add the following line:
application.handler.http.proxyEnabled = true
application.handler.http.proxyHost=<your proxy server host name>
application.handler.http.proxyPort=<your proxy server port>
- Try BlackBerry MDS simulator that came with JDE 5.0. MDS 4.1.2 should still work with 5.0 device simulators, but it's worth a shot
Can you hit the web service from the browser in your Blackberry simulator? Feel free to directly contact me at [email protected] - if necessary we can also pull in BlackBerry/RIM resources to help diagnose this.
Thanks,
Joe Huang

Blackberry 10 the data isn't compatible with the version of the device software that you are currently running

Hi,
my update to 10.3.1.1565 messed the handwriting input up on my phone. so I tried to downgrade to 10.2.1, upon doing so all my files were wiped, however I thought I was being smart by doing a complete backup this morning while running 10.3.1.1565 prior to attempting the os downgrade to 10.2.1 using BlackBerry Link,
Anyway I had to restore my device back to 10.3.1.1565 and now when I attempt to do a restore using the .bbb ( backup ) which I created earlier on today i.e getting the following error message:
blackberry 10 the data isn't compatible with the version of the device software that you are currently running
the software versions on my phone now and the software version when I did my backup are exactly the same 10.3.1.1565. I'm able to restore my user files and apps ect, as it offers to do a partial restore,., but my contacts, and remember files are now gone. I NEED THESE. how do I get these back..
please help..

Hi,
Listed below is the step by step intructions to configure the Nokia device as a modem to a mac.
Steps:
Connecting your Mac to the internet is convenient and easy with your a compatible Nokia S60 device. You'll need a Nokia S60 device that supports a 2G or 3G data connection (such as GPRS or HSDPA), a compatible Mac (with the latest OS X), a USB cable for your Nokia device or a Bluetooth-enabled Mac, and a network subscription with your mobile service provider.
To set up your device you'll need to know your operator's Access Point Name (APN) and have the packet data service enabled. For help with this please contact your operator.
In Settings select and open Connection >Select and open Packet data > Select and open Access point >Type in your operator's Access Point Name
Exit Settings. Your device is now ready to be used as a modem for your Mac!
Bluetooth Connection: Pairing between Mac and Device using bluetooth, follow the instruction from here: http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-as-a-modem/connect-to-your...
Note: Preferred mode is USB as it much faster than Bluetooth.
Connect the device and then go to System preferences- >Network- >Select Device (Nokia XXX)
Click on Advanced Tab > Modem tab
- Vendor : Nokia
-Model:GPRS (GSM/3G)
-Telephone Number: *99***1# (contact your operator to get this settings)
-APN: airtelgprs.com (contact your operator to get this settings)
CID: 1
Once connected it will be highlighted in green.
Hopefully this helps.

Using Blackberry Messenger with 2 Sims

A friend has a Blackberry 8520 Curve on 02 Pay Monthly and is able to use Blackberry Messenger fine, they wanted to use an Orange Pay As You Go Sim and loaded this with credit and purchased the Blackberry Data Bundle on Orange for £5.
The internet now works fine with the Orange Sim, but Blackberry Messenger doesn't appear to work with the Orange Sim. Any idea's why??

what do you mean by "doesn't appear to work"?

Using iPhone as wireless 3g modem ? possible ?

I have the older iPhone, and am seriously considering a new 3g iPhone. However, I have read in some reviews that the new iPhone 3g canNOT be used as a wireless 3g modem to connect your MacBook Pro to the internet. I would ideally like to wirelessly (using the built-in wlan), connect my wlan MBP to the internet. If that cannot work, could I connect an iPhone using a wired usb connection to my laptop, and then connect to the internet ?
Thanks

This is not allowed right now.
(its called tethering - google for that)
Someone made an app-store app that did this, but apple yanked it. AT&T wants another $30 per month for a PC Data plan.
This may re-appear some day, because it is technically possible, just not currently allowed by Apple and ATT.

How can I find out what is using all our home data?

We have a huge amount of data every month but over the past few months we are cracking thru it like crazy. I want to know what is using it all. We have changed passwords to ensure it wasn't outside this house.

Hello,Do you have mobile devices and tablet/s connected to your modem?If so, turn off "Background Data" in Data settings plus any automatic updates etc etc It could be that someone in your home is using it with high data downloads? If ou have multiple PCs, turn off automatic updates in Windows, to advise but not download.In your portable devices, there are a mutitiude of apps that update without your knowledge. Would need more information from you to make specific suggestions Hope this helps you RegardsProfessor PhoneI'm not a Telstra employee.

Thanks in advance

Not that I know of. You have to have a blackberry data plan in order to use the built in email. After that, you can use WiFi only.

Blackberry Protect - Delete data command executed on new Z10 and not lost Z10

My BB Z10 was stolen and somebody took the battery off immediately. I executed command to display message and delete data using blackberry protect. Command will be executed whenever the thief turns phone on. Afterwards, I restored data from blackberry link on my new blackberry z10 using old blackberry id. When my new z10 phone was up the commands which i sent to lost z10 got executed on my new blackberry! Now I am not able to trace lost blackberry. Somehow same pin got assigned to new blackberry on blackberry protect. Is there any way I can bring back lost blackberry details on blackberry protect and trace it?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Firstly, you must get your current BB using the exact same BBID credentials that were used when your old BB was using BB Protect for backup. To do so, you will have to WIPE your current BB and, when you are setting it up new again, use the same credentials from your old BB. But, take heed of this:
Article ID: KB31489 BlackBerry Protect for BlackBerry smartphones does not display any backup files to restore
If, by "archived", you did contrary to what that KB states, then it is too late...there is no recovery of things that get deleted from the BBID account.
Your situation is a perfect case study as to why BB Protect is a fine component of a good backup procedure, but by no means should it ever be counted on as the sole component.
Good luck and let us know!

Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

Could my ipad2 connects to the Internet using SIM card or USB Modem?

If you have a 3G iPad, it can connect to the internet using cellular data. As the iPad has no USB port, you can't connect a USB modem. You can use what is called a MiFi, though. They connect to cellular service and create a personal WiFi hotspot.
