Quick Question

[kerry431]

Hi all,
I picked up a unlocked Bell Torch which I have been using for about 3 months now and it is working great and I love it.
After reading a few posts re APN I am now wondering about the APN settings that I have.
The APN settings say pda.bell.ca, is this something I should change and if I should what do I change it to? It is working fine on the Rogers network so far.

Thanks for any information on this.

I should also list the settings as they are now.

APN Settings Enabled (tick mark)
APN: pda.bell.ca
APN Authentication enabled (tick mark)
Username for APN: (nothing)
Password for APN: (nothing)

Thanks again

I was just making sure there was nothing I needed to do with the APN, if not than I will just leave it.
One thing I notice is that on my Rogers account it doesn't seem to know what phone I have and just show a generic.
thanks

It will not identify Bell devices IMEIs. So it will always just show a generic device unless you are using a Rogers device

The Rogers apn is internet.com. You will need this to be correct for tethering and any apps that need direct access to the internet, bypassing BIS.

So I should be ok to change the apn to internet.com. Do I change any of the others? (User name, Password)
Thank you

One other question came to mind, when the time comes to upgrade the OS can I download from Rogers even though the phone is from Bell?
