Guest andrew531 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi, I have searched all over and cant seem to get a straight answer to this question. Is it possible to connect my vega to my blackberry curve to use the internet anywhere? I would be really grateful for any help or advice. I have just installed The Modaco Custom Rom R8 version and have nothing else installed as it is only 2 hours old !! thank you once again and apologies for being a Newbee!

A limitation of the blackberry not the Vega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mintvilla Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 If you had an android phone youd be able to do wifi tethering (no wires required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will vegacomb help in reality? thanks again everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Marchant Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 In my discussions with my company's Blackberry provider (we run about 75 of the things), tethering over Wifi is on their roadmap but not yet. It maybe in version 6.1 or maybe later. However, it is quite possible existing devices will not support it. Also, tethering over bluetooth or USB is only supported (not sure if this just means supported) from a PC or Mac and only then of your mobile provider has enabled the service. Nothing on the Vega (vegachrome or any other ROM) will change this other than the 'reverse' connection described in the link referred to. In the meantime, you would be better off getting a cheap Android handset that supports tethering over WiFi, or a MiFi unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WelshPhil Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I bought a HTC Widfire from Carphone Warehouse, £12.99 a month 200 mins 200 Texts and unlimited data, setting up WiFi Hotspot is easy on this phone and away you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
