Hello Guys, would like to know if Glo comonth can be used to connect to a laptop using my blackberry as a modem and if its possible, what would be the APN and/ additional commands.

Many thanks in Adv.

As of now it is not possible.

@Lord_Reed, thanks.

Not possible.i hv tried it several times without success

But it can be used with the playbook

@honsule. its working on ma BB (torch 9800) n laptop, ma phone is my modem. burning my comonth (3G data limit) on ma laptop

@Zippie5, how were you able to do it. what APN are you using? Did you do any additional configuration ?

Yeah zippie5 tell us what you used.

Its working on my laptop and its not even using my co month data. It uses the free mb given by glo which accumulates on recharge. I currntly have over 4gb of free data. My credit remains intact. Its superfast if you got 3g. Glo remains the bomb!!

lemme send it to ur box. just drop ur mail addy

Help a brother pls.

Those of you saying it works on your laptop, why dont u do people the favour of dropping the settings here and stop requesting for emails. This is one reason why i dont like the phone section here. Just a simple thing for u guys to do, u would make a big deal out of it. Just drop the goddam settings for people to learn or shut the hell up and stop bragging that it works.

please.I.need.this.too.if.you.wanna.help,email.me.at.tstunns@yahoo.com

I am back to MTN after a little bitter romance with GLO Comonth it was a bitter experience. I lost my N1400. Grass is always greener at the other side of the wall
