Yeah I had the same experience as the person above. It connects just fine but if you try to go to another site it just comes up to the verizon site again.

it’s not a hole. You’re allowed to use it. The password is not your phone number it is “vzw” for all phones. Only your username should be your 10-digit phone number.

Hi. I have a blackberry 7100i and am a telus user. I live in Vancouver. Is this applicable there?
Also if anyone knows anything about syncing my bb with Novel GroupWise I’m winding up with multiple contacts without any details. Just headings.
Thanks.

This works on any 3g capable phone, I believe. It’s a thing called “tethering” and most carriers get kinda ticked off if they catch you using it too much, as it costs money for plans that include this kind of access. Just be careful.

Funny….I just went thru this the other day. Only, I had to use an app called MobiShark (soft-modem) to connect, due to Nextel’s Blackberry 7100i not having any modem software onboard. Good write-up for those of you that can use it though.

In many countries and in many cellular companies APN use from a BlackBerry causes extra-charges that can be very expensive. I think that should be noted on your post.
