Digi Blackberry on Mac
I remember it took some time to setup my Maxis Blackberry on my Mac. But for Digi, I didn't expect it to be so tough, probably Digi is considered new comer in BlackBerry market, I was unable to find any resources online.
After installing the BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac and connected your BlackBerry to your Mac with an USB cable (cable is preferred than Bluetooth to keep your BB alive), you need to do some configuration in Network settings in System Preferences.
First, you will see a new device detected as RIM Composite Device. Then, these are the things that you'll need to enter:
- Telephone Number: *99#
- Account Name: digi
- Password: digi
Go to the "Advanced..." settings, and set the APN to diginet.
These are the configurations that you will need, which you can't find even in the Digi's FAQ or anywhere (as of posting date). I spent more than 30 minutes talking to different Digi support guys and still they are unable to provide me with these configurations.
As for Maxis, though you can find it elsewhere, these are what I have configured:
- Telephone Number: *99#
- Account Name: maxis
- Password: wap
- APN: internet.com
Hope these configurations work for you. Make sure you have subscribed to unlimited data package before you do this. You might end up paying big sum of bill because some software on your Mac doing some updates.
Have plans to switch to Digi soon and I could save at least 50% of bill per month.
