Now that we've all digested the news about Airtel halting the usage of Blackberry Service on other platforms besides Blackberry even if we are yet to see it implemented, we are sure it is coming in the nearest future and have to look for alternatives.

This articles explains how to use the Etisalat Blackberry Complete service on other platforms besides the Blackberry devices. Which is considered a quick and easy substitute for the about to be halted Airtel.

First we are going to be subscribing for our Blackberry Internet Service. You can do this by dialing *499*3# which is the monthly plan that offers you 30 days of internet access with the data capped at 3GB and costs N1,000.00. Alternatively you can subscribe for the weekly plan by dialing *499*3*1#. This one is a 7-day plan which costs N500.00 and data cap could not be ascertained as of the time of writing this.

Whichever on you choose to subscribe to, you should get a notification sms within some minutes of dialing the code. When you do get the sms. Proceed to the next step.

Second, you should subscribe to a BlackBerry 10 internet service, whichever one you choose is up to you but to save cost we would be using the 1-day plan which offers 10MB at N100. You can do this by dialing *599*3*2#.

When thats done. You're only changing your APN away from surfing the net with the BIS service on any device or OS. Change the Access Point Name (APN) of your device to blackberry.net.

Then you're good to go.
