Anyone got BB Bold to work as a tethered modem yet?

Hi,

I have just configured the Bold as tethered modem and I can confirm it works. There are a few things that you will need to do to ensure that it works:

1. Desktop Manager 4.6 should be installed
2. Desktop Manager 4.6 must be opened in order for the standard modem driver to function.

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks, buggered if I can get it to work. What extra initialization command have you used?

I am with Telstra so I used the following "Extra Initialization Command":

+cgdcont=1,"IP","telstra.internet"

I would contact Vodafone to confirm that you have a data plan enabled and you don't have any WAP barring. Also I haven't been able to get YouTube to work at this stage even with the latest firmware.

Yeah, I have dataplan enabled and use the internet etc, no issues with any of that.... Strange re Youtube then, reading international forums, seem to be plenty of people who can see them!!
