Today I will show you how to tether your Blackberry Playbook to your Blackberry phone. Once completed this will allow you to use your phones 3G connection through your Playbook.
For the purpose of this tutorial I will be using a Blackberry Bold 9780 and a Blackberry Playbook on OS 2.0.1.358.
Ok first step is to turn on bluetooth on both devices. Now on your Playbook go to Settings – Bluetooth and click on Add New Device. Once the phone has been found add it.
Now go to Internet Tethering and your phone should appear on the screen under Select a Bluetooth device to tether to. Click on it.
You should be asked to select a wireless service profile for your internet connection. In the search box type in your carrier (mine is vodafone uk) and click add profile.
On the next screen you will be asked for a username and password for access to the internet. Leave the defaults and click connect.
You will now see some information on tethering charges. If you already have a data plan with your phone then there will be no extra charges (unless you go over your allowance). Any data used comes off your monthly data allowance. Have a read and then press continue.
The system will now authenticate and then you should receive a message : Your tablet is now connected to the internet.
