Thank you for sharing this. I’m currently using my MacBook connected to my BlackBerry via bluetooth using the settings you shared here. I tried many settings unsuccessfully until I Googled it on my phone and thats when I stumbled upon your webpage.
A few days ago I bought a Zain USB dongle, but didn’t like anything about it. Using my BlackBerry has significantly improved the download speeds, and I also don’t have to put up with a hideous USB stick hanging out the side of my laptop just to use the internet.
Thanks again and God bless!

Hey, KikuyuMoja….you talked about PCMCIA cards…where can one purchase one? I have looked and looked and LOOKED around but all I can get is those protruding Mobile company modems!

I’m looking for a laptop card which I can feed in the a safaricom line and slip it into my laptop and carry it with me all the time everywhere especially with the new safaricom unlimited net for 7 days offer…

hala at my email…

@ moss chesro. I don’t think China made phones accept any settings. My mum owns two of them, different models, I tried setting up internet on both of them but neither accepted settings from Safaricom or Zain. You have to do it manually.

I have 24 blackberry 8700c phones that I got from the states. Any idea how much they will sell in Kenya. They are used phones but working well.
Is it true that Safaricom has unlimited internet usage for ksh 2000 per month?
Is it easy to setup unlocked blackberrys in Kenya especially the 8700 model?
Please let me know. Thanks

i have found that the software on the dongle thing that safaricom sell sucks big and that the latest nokia pc suite is much better if like me you have a n95 or similar phone then just plug it in with the safaricom card and away you go you dont have to do anything other then just register your phone with you laptop.

i had to fix my laptop using torrents as im on holiday here in kenya visiting family from the UK and using the satellite internet is giving me a headache

Dear Readers,
pls note that there also is a new Wiki on mobile data in Africa where we are trying to compile costs, technical HOW-TOs and other useful data on the telecommunications sector. The wiki may be found at:

If you know how to set up your phone or USB modem in order to get online and would like to share this knowledge (like I’ve done with this initial post in Oct. 2006), please feel free to have a look at http://africansignals.com and contribute there. Thank you!
