How do you enable Internet Data Access on a Blackberry Curve 8310? If your Cellphone provider doesn't provide Blackberry Internet Service.

My cellphone service provider Sun Cellular doesn't support Blackberry Internet Service. But manual Handset Setting for popular phone models like Nokia, SonyErricson and the like are available. I cant seem to figure it out. I have activated, registered my SIM ready for data access. I don't really need push email. I just want to surf the web and download apps.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

In order surf the internet without paying for a data plan on your Blackberry Curve 8310, you must first set up your TCP settings. In the Blackberry menu go to-->Options - Advanced Options - TCP and enter your APN information for your GSM Service.

After completing the settings on your Curve 8310, I suggest you download the Opera Browser. Once you have the browser completely installed, go to the menu and select automatic network set-up.

@edwardclint I tried it today and it works. Although without the Blackberry Internet Service from my cellphone provider the installation of apps is still limited. Blackberry Appworld won't even install.

I'll give this a try. But I have little hopes it would work. I tried the manual settings for the TCP and APN stuff already.

Based on what I have researched online. The Blackberry requires a "Service Book" set by your Telecoms provider. My current provider doesn't support Blackberry Internet Service and don't offer any smartphones from RIM. Without the "Service Book" the Blackberry wont be able to get any internet access.

Using the "Blackberry Desktop" software I also have difficulty installing free apps downloaded thru the pc. Like flashlight apps. If hope this Opera mini browser alternative works.
