Tethering with Cellular South

[cth85]

I also posted this in the Curve forum because I wasn't sure which one it would be better in :P

I've tried to get my Curve to tether using CSouth. I've read that post at forums.crackberry.com/f79/cellular-south-modem-tether-50457/ and entered all the settings and I still can't get it to work.

Is this working for anyone else? I have MIN#@csg3.com as my username and my ESN hex, in all caps, as my password and it dials out with #777 fine. It just gives me a wrong name and password error.

I followed all the instructions on RIMs site for setting up the CDMA phone rather than a GSM one since it's Cellular South.

I don't know if MIN# is supposed to stand for a number, but I've tried my phone number in place of MIN# and that didn't work, also I'm not even sure if the password is supposed to be my ESN, but that's what it's said so that's all I know.

If anyone else has gotten this to work with CSouth, please let me know what I'm doing wrong lol.

Thanks.

I had it as @csg3.com instead of @cs3g.com. That still didn't fix the problem, though. I still get the invalid name/password. Just thought I'd clarify before someone pointed it out :P

I figured it out. Someone told me to type ##000000 and look for a SID and that would be my user name. I ported my number from AT&T so the SID/user name was different from my actual phone number. Just used the hex ESN in all caps for the password and it works fine. Thanks

I figured I'd post this for anyone else that brought their number to Csouth from another carrier in case they're having problems too.

do you have a air card account as well?

[cth85]

No, no air card. I just have the unlimited everything plan, voice, email data etc and just hook it up through usb. Thats what I was wondering, if anyone else did it this way and if theyd notice or not :P

Hi

I am also a cellsouth customer and want to tether my phone. I have a blackerry pearl 8130 and have read all the forums on what your username and password is as well as the number that you must use (#777) but could you please help me in setting it all up. I cant figure out what the steps are from step one: plugging your phone into the laptop; step 2...
to where you have to enter your username and password.
your help will be greatly appreciated.
