Blackberry TCP Settings

The Blackberry needs the correct TCP settings in order to access the internet without BES.

Cingular

Some Cingular devices are prevented from accessing the network at all without the application being signed. Read more about device security.

For Blackberry on Cingular there have been reports of success by changing the TCP settings:

I followed the advice of entering in the APN info from blackberry forums (you edit this info under Settings → TCP)

Follow this link for important info: http://www.blackberryforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185
APN: wap.cingular
Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM (CINGULAR.COM is also known to work)
Password: CINGULAR1

Now, the first time I did this I rebooted my ‘Berry and took the battery off as they suggested, but when I restarted the device and it reconnected to the GPRS network, for some reason my TCP settings were lost.

So I re-entered the TCP info and this time did not restart. At first, it seemed that the application wasn’t working, but I tried again about 3 minutes later and it allowed me to connect to my server (Maybe there was some time required for the TCP settings to update?)

Thanks to Garrett for compiling this info.

T-Mobile

On my 7100t (with T-Mobile service, sans BES), I resolved the “Writer: could not open tunnel - failed” issue by entering Settings → TCP → APN: “wap.voicestream.com”, leaving the username and password blank.

I found this configuration information at http://www.blackberryforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185

On my Vodafone BB, I resolved the “Writer: could not open tunnel - failed” issue by entering Settings → TCP → APN: “wap.vodafone.de”, leaving the username and password blank.
