Hi all,

Quick question for you, and it may have already been figured out...if so i apologize. Can i use my Blackberry Curve 8310 to work as a modem? Not a dial-up modem per sei...but plug it in and just be able to surf the internet using the Blackberry's internet?

Thanks,
Isaiah

Yes, it's called tethering. There are a few threads on this subject so, you may want to search the forums and see if there is one specifically for your BB.

no, unfortunately you can't do this, at least not with verizon, you can only use it as a dial up modem, and I think this cost extra on your plan

Bob.. you might wanna read the question, he wants to use the bis and just plug to his computer, not as a dial up or tethered modem., which you can not do
