Blackberry meteor settings

arsebandit

I just bought a sim free blackberry storm 9500, and like a lot of meteor users found out that meteor cant send the settings onto me for internet email, mms etc. BUT, they did give me them over the phone, but i cant find where to enter them in??? i cant find data connections etc??? any advice or help would be great.

In the menu, try go to options > Advanced Options > TCP

The thing about Blackberry handsets is that you can't enter in MMS, WAP, Internet APN settings like you can with a normal handset and expect them to work, as they work differently. Some Boards users have had luck in being able to browse the Internet, but I can't remember exactly how they managed this; I suggest you use the search function for other Blackberry posts for assistance.

Have you got them working by manually adding them before? From what I've read, and experienced myself, only sending the service books to the handset, obviously from a Blackberry supported service provider, enabled MMS, WAP, Internet etc to work successfully and continuously.

Ye, it works on older models anyways

I entered the apn user name and password in the TCP/IP section, but still nothing
If i go into browser it says i have no "service book" ??? I think the only way is to receive them from the network provider as mentioned above ?????

Did you get anywhere with this? Having the same problem myself at the moment.

Thanks

This will work alright, as Davy described, but NOT using the native browser
You need a 3rd party browser installed, such as Opera Mini.

Hi Mike

I'm using opera for my browser, the only thing I need now to be 100% happy is to be able to send and receive MMS's....

Any thoughts?
