Youd carrier 'should' be able to give you them user/pass. :/

T-Mobile is *99#

(Detailed instructions on how to use 8700 as a modem coming soon. If you have 4.1.1 DM, then there are a few steps to skip compared to setting up older models).

BTW, rumor mill has it that Cingular will start charging extra for use as modem.

Would this work on a win 98 Se system?

[chinhqtran]

I gave verizon a call and there is a $15/month fee for this service. No username/passwd required once service is started. This is not what I want to hear but at least I can stop trying to get it to work... Thanks everyone for your inputs.

Anything new on these issues (cost/username/PW)? I'm a Cingular customer and am about to try to set up the modem feature.

Thanks.

I get an error message that I'm not getting a dial tone. So, am I supposed to

(1) add the Cingular information, above, to the TCP screen on the BB that looks like this:
APN: (what do I put here)
Username for APN: (assuming put the info above here and in password)
Password for APN:

or

(2) put that info onto the dial-up screen on my laptop?

Currently there is no info under APN on the BB.

updated!

Thanks, Hydn. I called my provider and they didn't have a clue. Do all Cingular users have the same APN, and do you know what that is?

Also, is this still valid:
Cingular Nextel:
Username: (blank)
Password: (blank)

Cingular alternative:
Username: ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

Thanks!

Yes, I've tried it! It works for me with my 7290 and Tmobile does not charge you to use your bb as a modem thus far if you have the unlimited blackberry internet they don't bother you, they haven't bothered me!

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~Sweeeet! Thanks for the quick response msbrenda64. :-)

[alonesoul]

ANyone get this to work for a Nextel 7520???

[yoskis32]

Is there a seperate Log in for accessing the EDGE network on Cingular 7130c?
GPRS is sooo slow on my laptop with my 7100g. Its not even worth it.
