Tethering lets you share the Internet connection on your BlackBerry® Curve 8530 with a computer. Please note that you'll be using data from your mobile network.
In this example, we use BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1.0.35. However, we recommend that you use the latest version available.
1. Connect your BlackBerry to the computer using the USB cable. BlackBerry Desktop Software should start automatically; if it doesn't, launch the program manually.
2. Click Tools.
3. Click Mobile Internet settings.
4. Click Profile.
5. Select Mobility or Mobility CDMA from the list of available profiles.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Tools.
8. Click Start Mobile Internet.
9. Click Connect.
10. Once connected, you can see the duration of the tethered Internet connection, along with the amount of data transferred.
11. A Windows notification will also appear to inform you of the connection speed.
12. Once tethering has been set up, you can quickly connect and disconnect by clicking the Mobile Internet indicator.
