Actually, I did not do anything on step 7, just click ok, then there will be pop-up window ask for username, password (leave as blank), and type '*99#' on dial, and it's done.

Yeah, i agree on BT tethering over USB too.

Thread pinned.

Keep up the good effort!

when BB logo disappear, mean you're on standard data connection not BIS..

(i think ) i can confirm that, coz im on DiGi, i was charged rm90+ for 1+ hour of usb internet tethering using ip modem via dm!!!

not sure other service provider, since we know that DiGi doesnt support modem tethering at the moment!!

As far as Maxis is concerned, there is no extra charge or fair usage policy if you subscribe with unlimited data package. I have called twice Maxis CS to double confirmed.

As for other service providers, I have no clue, perhaps other forum members can share

yup, DIGI tethering is PAYU (Pay As You Use), eventhou you subscribe with unlimited DIGI BIS plan. But for other telco it is ok to tether as long u subscribe with unlimited plan. I use maxis unlimited BIS plan, and tethering everyday, no extra charge at all.

and for the BB logo, if it dissapear, doesnt mean you're not connected to BIS. if you're not connect to BIS, the icon will change to lowercase character example, 3G will become 3g, EDGE will become edge.

I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile Bold 9000 and I tried tethering with a Macbook OS X with the settings but can't seem to work. For the APN Setting, I key in the APN profile I have on my Bold, which is internet.t-mobile

for the username and password, i just leave it blank?

What's your telco? If you are Maxis user, the APN setting for tethering with Mac OS X is as follow: -

Telephone Number :unet
Account Name/username :maxis
Password: 123

I'm using Maxis but after I have followed all the instructions I still cannot connect. The error message is Could not negotiate a connection with the remote PPP server. Please verify your settings and try again.

Firstly, have installed BB Bold 9000 modem script? Have you paired/sync your phone with your Mac? Please make sure your BB Bold bluetooth should be set to discoverable (Options>Bluetooth>click BB logo key>Options)

If your BB Bold is paired with your Mac, you should see the following icon on the top right bar.

If the above the above have been configured correctly, you should be able to connect to Maxis broadband network.

Update (1.10 pm)

I just tried my BB Bold / Mac connection, my first attempt also having the same error message. But the second attempt it works, sometimes it may be due to stability of maxis network or bluetooth network. Keep trying.

I have this situation.

When I tethered, the BB logo disappear and 'Modem Mode Enable" will appear. And during that time, I think I've been disconnect from BIS. I'll try sending mail to myself from PC, the e-mail won't be push to me. I try to send e-mail from my tethered BB, that e-mail is just hanging, cannot send out. BBM also cannot use. But I still can receive&make call. Also, send/receive sms also OK.

When I stop the tethering connection, BB logo reappear, then all above problem is solve. I will instantly receive e-mail that I send, and outgoing e-mail finally can be send out. And my BBM start to receive msg again.

So, what's wrong with my setting for tethering?

p/s : I'm using Bold 9700 and USB cable for PC connection.

I don't think there is any wrong with your setup, I can't receive BBM and can't push email as well (BB 4 dot logo disappear), there is no BIS connected when I check manage connection. However, when I set to wifi while tethering I manage to push email but not BBM. Not sure if the push email is via my BB's APN (WAP) setting.

The purpose of tethering (use BB as modem) is during emergency when internet access or wifi is available, and it drains your BB battery very quick too if your BB not connected to PSU/USB.

I have checked few forum on the similar problem, most of them unable to push email/ BBM during tethering.

Here's the link.

bro, i thought the password is: wap

?

Hmm, I am not sure, my setup / password used is 123, no problem so far. Have you tried it? Or probably the password can leave it as blank ( like the tethering setup for PC in first thread)

i use 'wap' as password. but nevermind, as long as it works.

but anyways, i see maxis got multi sim, 1 line service.

1 sim for the bb, another sim for the usb 3g.

easier, no need to do pairing, etc.

Hi all, my laptop is restricted to installa 3rd parry apps, meaning I can't installed the desktop manager for BB. However I want to tether via bold 9700 using that laptop. Anyone can help me?
I am using celcom unlimited plan

Thanks

Can celcom xpax do tethering?

i got a question, i'm a celcom user but when i set up in my mac, my account name is Maxis.. is that normal? or i'm fcuked since i'm online..

Is it confirmed that DIGI smart plan cant have free tethering?? I am using Bold 9700 with DIGI smart plan RM68.

Yeah! Free tethering for DiGi Smart plan.

Smart plan RM68 yes.
Smart berry RM58 no.
