[forrealee]

@hova200 no clue. does you both have sprint?

[forrealee]

@Arev0 not sure, i dont know much about boost. its worth a try tho.

[Vargas857]

[forrealee]

@Vargas857 hey glad i can help. thanks for watching

[lugia58]

so since i have unlimted web it dosent charge me

[forrealee]

@lugia58 i never got charged extra

[jamesoncleus]

@lugia58 wow this is awesome

[lugia58]

hi i have everything data but i think it charges roaming

[forrealee]

@lugia58 i know for a fact you wont get charged roaming fees when you using data. i used data on my sprint blackberry while roaming for almost 6 months straight, and i never got an extra fee... that is unless sprint has changed their rules.

[themarinesemperfi]

does this add cost to your monthly bill? or is this a free thing

[forrealee]

@themarinesemperfi it uses your data. so if you have an unlimited data plan, then no, it wont cost extra. but you might want to call and ask Sprint to confirm. i'm not responsible for your bill haha

[Jemone4u]

thank you so much.. this was helpful.. very! answered many of my questions

you rock

[forrealee]

@Jemone4u hey no prob. glad to have helped. thanks for commenting :)

[djhilo1]

this doesnt work for me it doesnt reconize my blackberry (im using mac)

[ReMaEyEcAnDy617]

It doesnt work for me either. Im constantly getting error 678. It says I need to ping the remote computer :/

[forrealee]

@ReMaEyEcAnDy617 ok... have you read ANY of my replies to comments on this video??...

[OfficialLilKay]

I tried this and everytime i do it, it'll say "The remote computer did not respond." I have the same phone as you and do the same things, but it wont work. I turn off my wireless and everything. Any help?

[forrealee]

@OfficialLilKay sprint has started cracking down on people using this program if they dont have "tethering" on their plan. so it may or may not work for you.

[SpeedyLOCO13]

I have a blackberry curve but it boostmobile can it still work with boost?????

[forrealee]

@SpeedyLOCO13 lets think.. this app/ program is for Sprint only.. so what do you think?...

[mathsucksmetalrocks]

do you have to plug it in to the computer or can you just do it wirelessly because i dont have the code

[forrealee]

@mathsucksmetalrocks i'm sure there is a way to connect via bluetooth, but i dont know how. and what code are you talking about? did you mean cord?

[bcallfree]

i have unlimited plan with AT&T if i do this will they charge more money ?

[forrealee]

@bcallfree well, this is for sprint, so it wont work for you. but no if you have unlimited they shouldnt charge you. BUT if you wanna be LEGAL, you should get a tethering package added to your plan.

[bcallfree]

@forrealee ooh mine is a unlock phone so whats a tethering?

[forrealee]

@bcallfree tethering is the act of using your phone as a modem. phone companies charge a lot extra for that capability.. unless you can find a way around it...

[bcallfree]

@forrealee ooh and if i just use it like that it will work? or i need some kind of software to make it work?

[forrealee]

@bcallfree prolly. i really have no idea dude. i dont know anything about at&t tethering

[forrealee]

@bcallfree you need a software for at&t specifically.. and if you find one, lemme know, cause i have at&t now too :)

[bcallfree]

@forrealee i need the desktop manager for AT&T? or other kind of soft?

[juzikas]

@bcallfree hi man.

Did u get an answer to your question?

Im having the same doubts just with other provider.

[robnoftz]

Thanks for putting this up. I'm a college student on a budget, and was wondering if I could use a smart phone for this purpose if I needed to.

[forrealee]

@robnoftz hey you're welcome.. i'm not sure this method works anymore though. i no longer have Sprint, but i've heard that they have been cracking down on people using this without having an actual "tethering" plan.. i dont think you will get in any trouble, but they will probably block your phone from doing it after a few uses.. anyway, good luck. add me as a friend if you want. or feel free to subscribe.

thanks again,

forrealee

[lam0627]

could be high speed 3g if you were in sprint 3g area

[forrealee]

the bb curve i was using didnt have 3g available :P lol

but i have at&t now anyway :D

[driftking620]

what do you have to do to set this up

[forrealee]

it doesnt work anymore. sprint blocked it unless you have a tethering plan

[davidam60]

lets make it simple without all this iphone3g/blackberry block crap. (with respect) ok lets do this lets get a old motorolla phone with usb. now put the sim card of data in there install application on pc ur ready to go! basically just switch the freken sim card

[lazy204]

"Sprint is starting to crack down on anyone using their Blackberry's as a modem with the 'Unlimited date plan', Sprint is starting to lock out phones as they find clients using them as a modem. The only way you can actually use your blackberry as a modem, without getting it locked out, is purchasing a 49.99 a month "tethering fee" or use third party software

[forrealee]

i posted almost the exact same comment already... read down.

[fordfanatic100]

Windows Vista Gives you the option to use your phone as a modem automatically, no other app needed.

[chente33244th]

hey..my computer says that error code 678..which means that the computer didnt responded

[forrealee]

i was actually just reading up on this last night... Sprint is starting to "crack down" on people trying to use their BB as a modem without paying for the "BB as Modem plan"... mine doenst work anymore either :P

[gohan2oo6]

does nokia n97 works to ?

[forrealee]

who knows.

[four11xitk]

Does your blackberry or come with this internet cord. And what is it called again? And can u turn off the black berry while using this? Or will it disable the internet? And if you need to buy please give me a link on amazon maybe?

[forrealee]

yes it should come with a usb cable.

if you turn it off, it will not work.

and you cannot post links in youtube comments, so no i cant give you a link. just search amazon for "blackberry usb cable"... make sure to get the cable for your model blackberry though.

hope that helps.

[HackerMaster999]

well this work on Blackberry curve 8520?

[forrealee]

it should. as long as that model is listen on their site.

[Musicinspires117]

Its 2009 and your using like windows 98..

[forrealee]

uh, have you ever heard of a thing called "classic view"?

[puffpet]

if i get the business message and data plan, can i use the tethering on a blackberry 8330 for free?

[forrealee]

this video is for entertainment purposes only!!! if you have questions call Sprint!!!!!!! :)

[forrealee]

ive never gotten an error.. but if he said you need another plan, then why are you asking me? lol i dont work for sprint :|

[john18369]

Im having trouble with mine, I have the blackberry 8330 with everything data plan, and i cant connect for some reason. i get an error code. the tech support says i need some other plan to use phone as modem. Is this true.

[parrotbob2]
