Mtn Bb Internet Service: Why Am I Charged To Watch Videos Despite My Subscription? by rave2u: 12:27pm On Aug 03, 2010 |
Back in nigeria for the hols. Subscribed to the mtn monthly bb internet service. I can browse, I can download but when I try watching youtube videos or streaming videos I'm being charged heavily. Since I'm already subscribed to their bb internet service, am I still suppose to be charged? Is this normal? Anyone else subscribed to the mtn monthly bb service experiencing this problem? |

Go to Options - Advanced options - TCP , then check the box to enable APN n input blackberry.net as the APN. This should work and also make sure u aren't using the wap browser |

Av done that but they're still charging. I've discovered that they secretely switch u back 2WAP browser once u launch video stream.thereby charging u per download site. It's criminal, I think. |

Do not be deceived with changing of any settings. The service doesn't include streaming or downloading of videos. |

@cecegorz, After changing those settings as I said earlier, try using bolt browser to stream videos or download the youtube video of your choice at www.vuclip.com(this is what I use personally) 2 Likes |

Another thing is to go to your Browser then Options then Browser configuration then change the Browser identification from Blackberry to Internet Explorer, with this it doesnt change to WAP for streaming media but I didnt check my credit after trying this but its worth the try |

Just checked my credit, they didn't charge |

Zain BIS doesn't allow you to stream so I switched to MTN BIS |

I just started watching youtube videos free on my blackberry 9780(Bold 4) I jusst went to options and there was a place where I unticked ''Switching to carrier network for streaming media'' Since the glo has not charged a single cent on my account, and all my youtube videos I watch with my BIS |
