Etisalat BIS Via Mobile Hotspot No Longer Works?? / How To Use Bold5 Mobile Hotspot Feature / Blackberry Os 7.1 Mobile Hotspot Does It Work On Mtn N3000 Bis (2) (3) (4)
Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by anitank(f): 11:12am On Nov 20, 2012 |
I use a bold 9930 with Glo BIS. But each time I try turning on my Mobile Hotspot, its keeps showing this message "to use this feature, contact your service provider....". I've called Glo customer care several times and the people that picked my calls seemed not to know what I was on about. I know there are lots threads on this topic already but none of them has mentioned how they got their's activated. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me out on this. Thanks |

To activate the hotspot feature on your phone with GLO,you need to buy a data bundle. But if AIRTEL was your service provider, you do not need any extra data bundle. What device are you attempting to connect to? |

my tablet. i used my sister's android phone and it connnected without any problem, only problem was that there wasnt enough data bundle in her phone so i couldnt connect my tablet to the internet with it. my major challenge is getting my mobile hotstop turned on first of all. Getting a data bundle after that wont be an issue. It still showed the same message when i used my friend's airtel line. do u think there's something i havnt done? |

I just tried turning my hotspot on my 9900 I also use GLO, it came on with ease. So probably its a fault from your device. All I did was going to the network screen and putting a tick in the hotspot box, which also enables the wifi box with a tick. |

i just found the solution to it. Glo does not support the feature on a blackberry (my blackberry, since u said urs worked). i used a friend's Airtel line and then i went to the device options and put in Airtel APN, username and password. It worked perfectly as i was able to connect my tablet to the internet on one touch.... and the speed was like ..... Thanks Lexusgs430. i owe more than one... |

Airtel is your best option, cos you do not need any bundle packages. Enjoy the tablet and when your finger starts hurting from excessive finger pushing, take a tablet(panadol) !!!! 1 Like |

I connnected my fone to my laptop it connected but its not browsing.mtn APN should be web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net, username:web, passwword:web. But i doubt if its goint to browse because mtn bis does not support hotspotting, other android fones could work with mtn tho |

Re: Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by walcolm(m): 7:25am On Dec 03, 2012 |
anitank: Anitank, hotspotting is enabled on the airtel BIS, no APN settings necessary, just plug and play. you dont even have to subscribe to BIS with your simcard in a BB device. just put your airtel sim in any android, iphone, ipad or phablet of your choice and send short code to the appropriate number mobile hotspotting is also enabled on the Etisalat network but just not on the BIS. you need to subscribe to regular data plan to use that feature. i have used it on Etisalat so i know that for a fact, the Etisalat network allows it. if you don't have a data plan and you enable it, your airtime credit will suffer |

I have curve 9360 OS 7.1. How do I connect my PSP to use it as hotspot (MTN line) |
Re: Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by lowee: 12:23pm On Dec 29, 2012 |
Has anyone tried BlackBerry from visafone? The speed is amazing. I use it as mobile hotspot and streaming. I am absolutely satisfied with the service and i recommend it for anyone that cares about QoS. I even used it on the GSM network and it worked perfectly. Just last week, i streamed a full match and that consumed less than 500MB. This is BlackBerry redefined. |

Pls guys what's the best way to connect my BB wifi in order to use the BB free voice call. Can I connect thru a Samsung galaxy. Thanks. |

kolnel: Pls guys what's the best way to connect my BB wifi in order to use the BB free voice call. Can I connect thru a Samsung galaxy. You will need to connect your phone to a 3rd party wifi source. ie if you use a bold 5 that is hotspot enabled, switching the hotspot on through the bold 5 does not work, you will need another hotspot enabled device and pair your bold 5 to enable you use bb voice calls. |

@lexusgs430, Thanks. Then It means that I can connect my torch BB to a bold 5 wifi and use it for BB Voice call? |
Re: Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by Lexusgs430: 7:02pm On Dec 30, 2012 |
kolnel: @lexusgs430, Yes. You can connect your 9810 to a 9900's hotspot, and use the hotspot feature on the 9900 to make bb voice calls. |

Re: Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by kolnel: 11:18am On Jan 01, 2013 |
@lexusgs430 Thanks so much. Got it working. The bbm voice chat is quite marvellous can't wait for the bbm 10 with the video chat. |
Re: Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by Lexusgs430: 6:02pm On Jan 01, 2013 |
kolnel: @lexusgs430 With a blackberry playbook, you can make video calls to all your contacts on Msn, yahoo and fellow playbookers. |
Re: Mobile Hotspot Activation Problem by viruz007(m): 7:30pm On Jan 01, 2013 |
u can use ur android device as ur mobile wi-fi router too if u wanna make bb voice calls or use wireless router software for ur laptop which will turn ur laptop to a router which u can connect ur bb to to make the voice chat. |
