My Blackberry as a Modem

[ibrahim52]

Well hello,i am quite a newbie here.I am from UAE and my carrier is DU.I was wondering if i can use my new blackberry bold 9000 as tethered modem.But the only thing is,i have searched everywhere and i couldn't find any solution for my carrier.Is there anyway i can use it with some third party application or tricks where i dont have to spend much ?

Well yeah,but what i am looking for is a trick which is free.

i am asking because modem tricks are posted everywhere but i am not sure whether it will work for my carrier.As it has special code according to the carrier you are using.Thank you.

I'm not the cleverest bunny here in any way but by following these instructions it works fine for me both on USB and Bluetooth. You just have to find to the appropriate name and password for your provider (You can search on googgle for these)
