I have been asking ZAIN Kuwait help desk of how to setup my blackberry device as an external internet modem to allow making connection to the internet using my laptop, I heard different answers of "You cannot do it" or "it is easy as 123, just create a modem and you are done" ...etc, but never got a straight forward answer of how exactly to set it up.
This is not an easy task, since it requires following some procedure to establish the connection. I had to do lots of research to know how to set it up, Finally, here are the steps to do it:
- Make sure that your Blackberry Desktop Manager software is installed on your laptop.
- Launch Blackberry Desktop Manager, Connect your Blackberry phone to the computer using a USB connection. Important Note: you need to keep your blackberry device connected to the Desktop Manager software through the USB connection to proceed with the next steps.
- Make sure that the blackberry modem driver in running OK, go to Device Manager --> Modems --> standard Modem, then go to properties, click on "Diagnostics" Tab, then click on “Query Modem” button. It should give you the result that points to your blackberry information.
Note: do not continue to the next step of you do not see the modem information or if you have any issue in connecting to the modem.
4- Now coming to the secret part (that part that took me some time to know as the ZAIN help desk refrain from giving this information), click on the “Advanced” tab and make sure that you enter the following string in the “Extra Initialization Command” Field:
at+cgdcont=1,"IP","pps"
(if you have a different mobile network, then you will need to enter the string reflecting your network, please contact your network provider).
5- You have now to setup a new internet modem connection, with the following settings:
- Phone Number: *99#
- User Name: pps
- Password: pps
6- Dial the New Internet Connection – congrats., You’re done and you are connected to the internet through your blackberry device.
