APN Setting for BlackBerry

Posted on December 6, 2010 at 9:06 pm by ironmusc

Here are the APN (Access Point Name) settings on the Blackberry handset, so we will not be subjected to additional GPRS cost, because we actually have subscribed BlackBerry Internet Service packages either daily, weekly or monthly as the packages are packed all the services are unlimited.

But sometimes we receive a bill or the circumstances in which our credit truncated due to the cost of GPRS usage, therefore please check the APN settings that exist on our BlackBerry.

The trick is to go into the menu as follows:
OPTIONS> ADVANCE OPTIONS> TCP (click)
Username and Password leave blank

There are 3 options:

1. APN: blackberry.net
So the BlackBerry browser will only be able to access sites which are friendly with BlackBerry. BlackBerry friendly site would not be subjected to GPRS charge. For the sites that are not Blackberry friendly, it can not be accessed.

2. APN: [blank]
So the Blackberry browser can access both, if the site was BlackBerry friendly, it does not pay. If you get into sites that are not BlackBerry friendly, it will be charged the cost of GPRS, like streaming radio sites, Youtube or etc.

3. APN: wap.-operator-
This is not recommended because, all accessible sites are charge by GPRS, even though it was BB friendly.

Then, in the Blackberry browser, we must change the existing configuration like this:
1. OPTIONS> ADVANCE OPTIONS> BROWSER (click).
2. Default browser configuration (CLICK): select INTERNET BROWSER.

Tip: To access youtube, radio and other streaming video, you should use Wi-Fi access, so there will be no additional charges for GPRS.
