    I have a Storm 2, bridge works but tether is another story. I can get it to tether through the computer, but with the Playbook, I have been unsuccessful so far.

    What settings do I need to put in the phone/and or Playbook? My carrier allows tethering, but does not provide support for tethering (won't help me set it up).

    My carrier is GCI in Alaska. From what I have found, the APN is web.gci

    I am hoping to get this working on the Playbook so I can browse faster when out and about. Bridge works, but it is too slow. It would also be nice to be able to use other apps when I am out of range for wireless also.

    I know you posted a long time ago, but I am in the same boat except I can't get tethering to work at all. I'm trying to do it through Blackberry Desktop but I don't know what username, password, or apn I should be using and GCI is useless. How did you get yours to work?

    Thanks!

    Got my Playbook to see my Treo 755p through Bluetooth while trying to tether, but alas - that's as far as I got.

    Are you trying to tether your phone to a computer or to a playbook like the OP was and must had figured out?
