Recharge

haibe:

I thought i told you i use my airtel bis to browse on my laptop(its very fast), my sister uses mtn and my bro uses glo..all working fine with BIS.

Why is it deducting credit using MTN?

haibe: For the benefit of those who don't know how to use their blackberry as a modem for their laptop to browse the internet, i will post this short tutorial.

First of all, Download the blackberry desktop manager here if you dont have the CD that came with your phone:

http://uk.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html


After installing, Just connect your blackberry to your laptop using a usb
cable, open the bb desktop manager and make sure it has
connected (it will show the picture of your bb device when
connected and "Sync all" at the bottom right).


After it has connected: Click on the "Tools bar" at the top
Left of the bb manager, then click on "mobile internet
settings", then click on the "Add custom" button, A Box will
appear for filling settings.

For Mtn: Account/profile name: MTNWAP
Username:web
Password:web
Access point:web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
Dont put anything again, just click on ok and save.

For Airtel: Profile name: AIRTEL NG
Username: internet
Password: internet
Access point: internet.ng.airtel.com
Leave the rest blank and click on ok and save

Now go back to click on the tools bar, then click on "start
mobile internet, it will ask you to connect, do so. Or
alternatively click on "mobile internet" at the bottom left of
the software and connect.
Goodluck..you can check your data balance for airtel by
pressing *123*10# to monitor your data usage and make sure your Bis is on..thanks.

Let me know if it helped or if you all have any questions.

I'v done d normal airtel settings frm tools>mobile intrnet settgs>add>intrnet.ng.airtel.com >user name and password=internet.
But wen I click start mobile internet it will display "there was a hardware failure in d modem or other connecting device,plz check ur profile settings and make sure ur radio is turned on.this service might also hav been turned off by ur wireless service provider or ur administrator"
Plz wat do I do ooo.........thanks

chai see luck oo,thanks bro,it work and dam fast on mtn.bros how do i check my balance on mtn bis 1500 subscription

oboy, e go work well well sef.

I hv followd d steps but its using my credit, hw do i set it to mtn bis

I have been enjoying this on my glo bis for many months now, just did for my mtn 3 weeks ago. Found out I even enjoy it better with MTN cos of stronger 3G network. However, for whatever reasons, MTN has started deducting my credit when I use browse with pc for the past 4 days. Don't know what's up with MTN suddenly.

chiefololade:
Account name : Etisalat Internet
APN : etisalat
All the rest should be left blank

Thank you. i will try it out!

How do Ï check data usage on mtn bis?

Hello all. If your MTN credit is being deducted, it simply means one thing, your bis has expired, so you're now browsing with your call credit. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about this, as I found out, until the expiration of your subscription plan. No notification whatsoever that I had exhausted my data limit! Now, I have to go back to using my Glo, in fact, using it right now and so far, no money has been deducted. I subscribed to the weekly plan. My MTN subscription will expire 3rd August, so I have to continue with glo until then. Cheers!

You can also try this procedure:

1. Make sure you installed your Blackberry Desktop Manager properly, open it, and connect your Blackberry Bold using USB cable. Your Blackberry Desktop Manager should recognize your
device by showing “Device
Connected(PIN): xxxxxxxx” Once
your device is connected to your laptop,

check in the Control Panel -
> Phone and Modem Options ->
Modem tab -> select your blackberry modem (it is listed just as “Standard Modem” in my computer”, and click “Properties” -> Diagnostics tab and click “Query Modem”, it should give you result in command and response field.

2. Choose “Advanced” tab on the
same window and enter this in the
“Extra initialization commands” field:
+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”wap.cingular” Ok, if everything went as it should, you are now able to use your Blackberry Bold as a modem. You just have make a dial-up
connection to actually connect to the Internet.

3. To create a new dial-up
connection, go to your “Network
Connection” and under “Network Task” choose “Create a new connection” A connection wizard will come up and ask you several questions. The main thing is to choose this: Connect to Internet ->
Next -> “Set up my connection manually” -> Next -> “Connect using a Dial-up Modem” -> Next -> check your Blackberry Bold modem -> Next -> make up your own ISP name (it doesn’t matter what you put there) -> Next -> *99# as your phone number -> Next ->leave the username and password blank -> Next and Finish.

4. Your newly created dial-up connection will show up in your Network Connection window under dial-up connections. Double-click it and hit dial.

Op God bless u plenty! Was able to use t'he stuff, am on Airtel BIS, t'he airtel net work most time in my area is on edge but nevertheless it worked pretty moderately. Gracious!

Swaginton: I use a curve 7 on an etisalat line...I dnt use any destop manager to browse aldou I ve it...I use d mobile hotspot feature dat cums wit d fone n its nt only fast bt UNLIMITED!

well for those whose bb have an hotspot it may not be necessary to use the bb desktop software.

lepasharon: whah arbout Nokia phone?

instead of bb desktop software. get a nokia pc suite and use the suitable settings for your sim as given in my post.

Ya,mine is bold 3 too

Mine(MTN BIS) stopped yesterday as well even though it connects. I don't know if they intentionally did that or not but i still want to allow this week to pass after which i will swing into action on how to find another way if the issue persist.
Still, if anyone finds a better alternative let him/her let the forum know. Thanks

Mine is showing limited connectivity...instead of the blue ball at the network place...its showing the yellow allert triangle...i use mtn
