BlackBerry Curve 9320 support.

You can now use your BlackBerry to connect other devices to the internet in two ways: by connecting it into a USB slot, or as a wireless Mobile Hotspot if they can connect to Wi-Fi. To use the Mobile Hotspot feature you'll need to be running the latest BlackBerry software, which is OS 7.1. You can find out how to update your software here.

If you'd like to use the Mobile Hotspot feature, click here.

Before using your BlackBerry as a modem, which is also known as tethering, you should check whether your contract or internet Add-on includes it. You can find more information about tethering on your phone here.

1. Open BlackBerry Desktop Software on your computer
2. Connect your BlackBerry to your computer using the USB cable that came in the box
