Metorra, If you have everything working on yours. Please give us step by step on how to get ours working, or did you buy it already programmed?

Thanks,

Hii

I am using a7520 on Boost mobile for Basic internet,

its best if you install Opera Mini,

I can check my email and a few forums , look stuff up on ebay etc

no music, no videos , just basic web surfing

and its SLOW , way SLOW , the best is 1/3 the speed of a 56k dial up modem, about 18k !

hope that helps , just do not expect it to do much and you will be happy

hi everyone, just thought I'd clear up a little confusion regarding internet and MMS on boost with the 7520.

I can personally vouch for the fact that yes, you can get full internet, OTA installs, and MMS on boost, but it requires a little work on your part.

there is a pretty good article concerning "boostberries" at this wiki
(the wiki is maintained by another forum, so If I'm breaking any rules, let me know and I'll modify my post accordingly)

since I don't have a high enough post count to post links, just type:

"BoostBerry How-To...everything you need to get the native browser and MMS working"

into Google search and you will find the answers that you are looking for

OK so I got EVERYTHING WORKING on my 7520 Boostberry... AND all in all the cost of my phone was $13.50 plus shipping and I set it up myself! I have OTA working with the native browser, text messaging through MMS. Email works on 3rd party program... EVERYTHING WORKS and the net is pretty quick even! Thank you to everyone that helped... I LOVE MY BOOSTBERRY!!!

Yes, it will work but you have add a Hostspot Browser and mms to it. On Ebay they sell a resource CD that has everything that you will need to get up and running. You must also get rid of any IT Policy that might be in the in the phone. THe name of the CD is Boost Berry resource CD. sells for about 14.00 with free shipping

I have a blackberry 7520 with boost. I can text and browse the internet like any other phone or better. I searched for months and finally found a way to install everything on my own in just 15 minutes and without paying anything. You need to have desktop manager installed on your computer so you can download everything to the phone via usb cord. You can download this software at blackberry.com. The rest you can find it in howardforums.com and search for "everything you need to get the native browser and MMS working". It will give you the steps and files to download to your phone. After I got the browser working, I downloaded a even better browser, opera mini, by going to operamini.com directly from my phone. It lets you view the web just like a regular computer but just smaller. Good luck!
