I have an At&T phone service with basic Medianet data plan. I would like to use these features on my Blackberry. I seldom use internet on my cell phone , mostly to check weather, therefore I do not need that expensive BIS for $30. I changes my TCP settings to

PHP Code:

APN: WAP.CINGULAR 

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1 


but I do not have any connection. I tried to install opera mini and it failed due to wrong internet settings.
Do I have to do anything else or are there any other AT&T internet settings available?
Thanks

I'm thinking that the medianet plan doesen't work on the BB. Anyone else using the Medianet plan on their BB?

[LaPerla]

Dream Rider I think the same. Oh well, at least I have wi-fi. I will switch to BB plan some time in the future.

Guys, its getting weird! I just checked my ATT account and it says
02/19 12:09 AM wap.cingular Internet/MEdia Net Sent 120KB
02/18 12:48 PM wap.cingular Internet/MEdia Net Sent 78KB

media net is not working, but I will be charged for data

^when you hightlight the WAP(globe) icon it should read MEdia Net it's from you SIM card.


btw. did you try redoin' your MEdia Net from a desktop/laptop.. it'll send you a SMS err somethin' and be sure you're "Mobile Network option" is Not on "Wi-Fi Only".
