Using my Blackberry as WiFi connector

Can I use mt Blackberry mobile internet connection as a gateway to the internet with the Ipad as apposed to using a 3G connection on the IPad?

Current BBerry's won't do wireless hotspot. That is part of the 'enterprise security'. so the only way is to tether - with a wire, which the pad won't do.
There are a lot of us waiting for somebody to figure out how to get bbry to act as a hot spot.

  • I can't browse using my blackberry browser (wifi connection w/ BB curve 8520)

    good day!
    i purchased a blackberry curve 8520 (w/contract) from one of the telecommunication companies in my country - philippines. everything started all good until one day i can no longer open/use my pre-installed blackberry browser.
    everytime i click on the bb browser logo, the screen just does nothing... nothing loads up on my phone.
    then i tried opening the bb browser throgh the task manager panel a message appears stating: "your device does not currently have any browser configuration service book entries. please contact yor service provider to enable the browser on your device" 
    i have tried rebooting the phone several times, both soft and hard.
    can you give me any solution for my problem? TIA.
    P.S. i have unlocked my phone so i can use it on other carriers. but the problem started a month before i did so. my two friends also have the same phone (bought the same day as mine) and they are not experiencing the same problem.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Here are updated instructions, including notations of the required response from each step. If the response arrives correctly, you move onto the next step. If the response does not arrive correctly, you drop out of the process and contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your configurations for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Using my Blackberry Abroad by WIFI only... HELP!

    I've been researching this topic and speaking to people from Vodafone customer services and I seem to be getting different answers!
    I'm going abroad for 6 month and want to use my Blackberry for WIFI only to avoid any overseas charges. I was planning on turning the mobile network off - this means I won't be able to send/recieve calls, SMS etc. right? Then I was going to leave data services on but off whilst roaming and turn on the WIFI. I did this and tested it out at home and it connected fine. However, I've been told that I need to turn data services off otherwise I will incur charges from GPRS, do they mean data services off and off whilst roaming? Because I did this and tried to connect via WIFI and it didn't work, or do they just mean turn data services off whilst roaming?!

  • Internet using on Blackberry 9360 through wifi

    I have a blackberry 9360 
    Internet browsing is not possible without Blackberry enterprise plan 
    How to use internet and whatsapp and Blackberry messenger only through wifi ?
    Please Help 

    Some carriers require a BlackBerry data plan even to use the browser on wifi. I have seen where it even depends on the OS version as to whether the browser will work on wifi without a SIM installed. That sounds like your situation.
    If you have paid for BIS, talk to your carrier and make sure it is setup properly on your line.

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 (o2) - No data plan - Using browser purely with wifi?

    I have just got a Blackberry curve 8520. I'm on o2.
    I haven't got a plan that includes data, so was wondering how I can use my Blackberry internet over wifi.
    Under mobile network settings I've disabled data services, so I don't get charged for data without me knowing.
    I've also changed my browser configuration to Hotspot browser, and its found my Wireless network okay and saved.
    However when I go on browser, It just keeps coming up with unable to connect to the internet.
    Am I doing anything wrong? 

    I dont have a data plan (work phone) and can get internet through wifi, and have done so without any issue.
    check 'Menu', 'Manage Connections', Wifi is ticked, with network name in Green
    check your using Hotspot Browser, (you did say this, I know).  So it definately says Hotspot Browser at the top of the browser when open rather O2 Active (or similar)
    I'll keep looking to see if there are any settings I can find which could help

  • Troublesho​oting issues using the BlackBerry Virtual Expert

    Posted originally on the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog
    Does your BlackBerry need a health assessment? Are you considering a repair? If so, check out the BlackBerry Virtual Expert (BBVE), a simple, self-guided diagnostic app for BlackBerry smartphones.
    Depending on what type of smartphone you are using, you can run tests to help identify if an issue is occurring and get recommendations on how to solve the problem.
    To help you get started with BBVE, here’s a quick overview of how to use this app and what to do if a tests fails.
    How to use the BlackBerry Virtual Expert
    If you are using BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1, BlackBerry Virtual Expert is built in and can be found by opening the Help app followed by tapping Testing along the bottom toolbar. Within this screen, tap Try this now to open BBVE.
    For smartphones running BlackBerry OS version 10.2 or earlier, or BlackBerry OS version 7.1 and earlier, to use BBVE you need to install it first.
    To do this, open BlackBerry World on your smartphone and search for “BlackBerry Virtual Expert,” or use the following steps to scan a barcode. After installation is complete, look for the BBVE icon that appears on your home screen.
    Open BlackBerry World.
    Complete one of the following:
    If your smartphone is running BlackBerry 10 OS, swipe down from the top of the screen and tapScan Barcode.
    If your smartphone is running BlackBerry OS version 7.1 or earlier, press the Menu key followed by Scan a Barcode.
    Scan the following barcode and tap Download.
    After opening the BBVE, the Health tab appears by default which allows you to identify basic details about your smartphone and quickly access specific settings.
    If you select Tests along the bottom toolbar, you can run all of the available tests at once or test a specific feature. To test everything at once, tap All Tests or select a specific feature or function you’d like to test.
    If you have concerns about your headphone jack for example, select Audio Test to run a variety of audio-related tests, or optionally select Choose A Test followed by tapping on the specific test you’d like to run.
    When you start testing a feature, follow the instructions displayed on your smartphone and complete the required actions followed by recording a result: Pass , Skip , or Fail . When all of the selected tests are completed you are shown your results indicating what passed, what tests were skipped, and of course, any tests that may have failed.
    One of the BBVE tests failed! Help!
    Should a test fail while using BBVE, after reviewing the suggestions on the Results tab, here are a few things you can do to help get an issue resolved efficiently.
    Step 1 – Summarize the issue
    Creating a summary of the issue you are encountering and recording what troubleshooting steps you have already taken is a great step that helps our support teams better assist you. In addition to creating a summary, obtain your BlackBerry smartphone details using the steps below.
    If you are using a BlackBerry 10 smartphone, to identify your OS version, tap Settings > About and in theCategory drop-down list, select OS. To identify your PIN, tap Settings > About and in the Category drop-down list, select Hardware.
    If you are using a BlackBerry OS smartphone, check out this post for help identifying this information.
    Step 2 – Back up your device
    When you contact support for a potential repair issue, they will guide you through this process, so doing this before you contact support can help speed things along.
    If you are using a BlackBerry 10 smartphone, download and install BlackBerry Link for PC or Mac so you can back up your smartphone. For help backing up and restoring your smartphone data, please review the BlackBerry Link User Guide for PC or Mac.
    If you are using a BlackBerry OS device, download BlackBerry Desktop Software to back up your smartphone. For help backing up and restoring your data, review the BlackBerry Desktop Software user guide (PC, Mac).
    Step 3 – Use self-service support options
    Join the BlackBerry Support Community Forums and create a new post about your issue. Be sure to include the summary you created in step 1 because this allows community members to suggest alternative steps that may help resolve the issue you are encountering.
    Review and search the BlackBerry Knowledge Base for a support article that may provide a solution to the issue you are encountering.
    Step 4 – Contact your service provider or visit a BlackBerry Expert Center
    If you are still unable to resolve the issue, consider contacting your service provider or BlackBerry Expert Center for additional assistance. As mentioned earlier, having your smartphone details and a summary of troubleshooting performed will help out whoever is assisting you with the issue.
    For help contacting your service provider, search using your favorite browser for your service provider’s support website.
    Depending on where you are located, you may have the option of visiting a BlackBerry Expert Center. For help finding a BlackBerry Expert Center near you, check out the following link: Find help at a BlackBerry Expert Center.
    Frequently asked questions
    Why does BlackBerry Virtual Expert need permission X, Y & Z?
    For BBVE to perform specific tests, select permissions must be enabled the first time you open BBVE. You can optionally disable some or all permissions but keep in mind any tests requiring disabled permissions will not work. If you run a test that requires a specific permission such as the ability to use the camera, you will receive a notification to update your permission settings.

    Depending on which type of BlackBerry model you are using, available tests include:
    Touch Screen

  • Using a BlackBerry as an External Keyboard

    Is there a way that I can use my BlackBerry as an external usb keyboard?  I'd like to connect the micro-usb cable to the BlackBerry and the USB connector to another device (like my PC, PlayStation, etc.)  Any idea if this is possible?

    You want to only have the keyboard of the BlackBerry control the PC or playstation?
    PC, yes. Look on AppWorld for the app, I can't even remember the name of it right now, lol
    Playstation... No.

  • Can i use my blackberry charger (output 5.0v and 0.5a) with my 30gb ipod?

    can i use my blackberry charger (output 5.0v and 0.5a) with my 30gb ipod?

    The Blackberry has a charging lead, one end of which fits into the Blacberry, with the other ending in a USB attachment which fits into your pc. Likewise the iPod USB charging cable. Blackberry also provide a charger which fits into a 3 pin power socket, and a connection into which the USB connector of either the Blackberry or iPod cable fits. My question is whether you can safely plug the iPod USB cable into this charger (which has a dc output of 5 volts and 0.5 amps) in order to charge the iPod?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • How to use mobile as a wifi internet on pc...

    Hello, i want to connect my laptop to internet by using my nokia e71 wifi because my have no wifi. so plz tell me how can i connect my laptop to internet by using mobile wifi?

    You need to download and install the latest Ovi suite and install it on your laptop. Connect your phone to your laptop via usb or bluetooth in PC Suite mode. In Ovi suite, goto Tools > Connect to Internet. After setting your country and carrier, the suite will connect you to the internet via your phone.
    Note that this will connect you using your phone carrier's network, so you will incur data costs on your phone plan.
    If I've helped you, you can thank me by clicking the green 'kudos' star on my post. Cheers.

    I doubt the phone is locked to GCI in any way
    Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
    Fact is your post won't help the OP.
    And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
    Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
    Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

  • Can I Use my BlackBerry email Address?

    I just upgraded my PlayBook to v2 of the OS and was tryiing to set up the email, contacts, etc.
    On the set up screen, I entered my BB email and password was was told to use the BB Bridge:
    "Please use the BlackBerry Bridge to access this account on your PlayBook."
    I was hoping to share my email messages, contacts and calendar between my Bold 9930 and the PlayBook. Is this not possible other than via the Bridge?
    Thank you,
    Thank you,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Found the answer though not the one I wanted: KB29879 "Error "Please use BlackBerry Bridge to access this account on your PlayBook"when integrating email account on BlackBerry PlayBook".
    I guess I will create a folder called Useless and dump the Messages, Contacts and Calendar apps in it. (I received the same message for them as well.)

    Thanks

    Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier.  You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan.  Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.
