I read that you can use your bb as a modem to connect to the internet via your laptop.
I also read on several websites on how to create the connection. After many failed attempts, I checked the desktop manager for help. The following information was given.
You must set up your modem connection settings to create a profile before you can use your blackberry device modem.
- Connect your device to your computer.
- Open the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager.
- Click IP Modem.
- Click Configure.
- Perform one of the following action:
- If your wireless service provider appears in the Connection Profile drop-down list, click their profile. In the Profiles Settings section, type any required information that is not included in the profile. For more information, contact your wireless service provider.
- If your wireless service provider does not appear in the Connection Profile drop-down list, click Add Custom Profile. Type a name for the profile. Contact your wireless service provider to determine the information that is required in the Profiles Settings section. Required information can vary for each wireless service provider.
- If necessary, click Save.
- If you want to keep using your device as a modem even after you close the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, select the Keep an IP Modem connection open after the BlackBerry Desktop Manager is closed check box.
- Click OK.
Now my only problem is that in the main menu of the desktop manager there is no "IP modem" option to select.
Does that mean that I cannot use my phone as a modem?
Can someone please help me. I live in South Africa so my service provider is MTN
