I have used Airtel and Etisalat succesfully. Glo and MTN require more intelligence that i have not sit down to decode. If you cannot inset APN on the BB software you can do it on your Laptop by setting up an internet dial up. Google using BB as a modem follow the step listed by crackberry cheers

When you used the etisalat, were you charged from your main account or your BIS package ?

@Frgy etisalat uses both BIS and other credit on your phone. what i do is to buy some MB on it. Zain has 1Gig which i have never exhausted before browsing with laptop may cos of the speed if it is faster audio stream is enough to burn 1Gig in a day

Follow the following steps to get your BB work as a modem:


Thought these instructions may be useful. If you get it right,

1. Connect Your BlackBerry
Make sure your BlackBerry is connected by USB cable, and your BlackBerry Handheld Manager is running (just launch BlackBerry Desktop to run it.) This is necessary for using the BlackBerry as an external modem. You cannot use Blackberry as a modem unless you have BlackBerry Handheld Manager running in the background!

2. Verify the Modem Driver Is Functioning

Go to Control Panel -> Phone & Modem Options. In the Modems tab, you should see a new Standard Modem on a new port (such as COM6 or COM11). Click Properties -> Diagnostics -> Query Modem.

You should see the following:

Quote:
ATQ0V1E0 - OK
AT+GMM - BlackBerry IPmodem
AT+FCLASS=? - OK
AT#CLS=? - OK
AT+GCI? - OK
AT+GCI=? - OK
ATI1 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI2 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI3 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI4 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI5 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI6 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem
ATI7 - Research In Motion / BlackBerry IPmodem


3. IMPORTANT SPECIAL CONFIGURATION STEP
Click Properties -> Advanced and add the following Extra initialization commands with the appropriate carrier-specific APN Setting:

For APN settings see Carrier APN Settings - ModMyiFone - Wiki

AIRTEL NIGERIA
+CGDCONT=1,"IP"," internet.ng.airtel.com"

ETISALAT
+CGDCONT=1,"IP"," etisalat"

CHOOSE EITHER ABOVE


4. Add a New Internet Connection
Close the Phone and Modem Options and the Control Panel. Create a new connection with Start -> Connect To -> Show all connections -> Create a new connection.
Quote:
1. Click Next
2. Select "Connect To The Internet" then Next
3. Select "Set up my connection manually" then Next
4. Select "Connect using a dial-up modem" then Next.
5. Check only the Standard Modem (if prompted).
6. Give the connection a name such as "BlackBerry Modem", then Next.
7. On the next screen, pick one of the following phone numbers, depending on your carrier:
If you use Vodafone: Enter phone number *99#
8. Click Next.
9. On the next screen, pick one of the following, depending on your carrier:
, If you use Vodafone:
, Username: vodafone
, Password: vodafone
10. Clear all checkboxes ("Use, when anyone, " and "Make this the default, "wink
11. Click Finish

5. Disable IP Header Compression
Make sure TCP/IP Properties (Advanced) "Use IP Header Compression" checkbox is NOT checked. To verify this, do these steps:
Quote:
1. Start Menu->Network Connections->"BlackBerry Modem"
2. Click Properties Button
3. Click Networking Tab
4. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"
5. Click Properties Button
6. Click Advanced, Button
7. Disable "Use IP header compression" checkbox
8. Click all OK buttons to close all dialogs



6. BES Configuration
Skip this step if you are not on BES. You only need to follow this step if your company gave the BlackBerry to you. If you are at a company and you are on a BES 4.0, your Administrator must enable the "BlackBerry IPModem" setting on the BES. This is a new setting in the Version 4.0 of BES.
.
7. Surf on the Laptop!
Connect to the Internet on the laptop by clicking the "BlackBerry Modem" icon via Start Menu->Network Connections. No username or password is needed.
