Tetherberry

Today the CrackBerry Deal of the Day is a great application at a great discount. Tetherberry made its name offering an easy and affordable way to tether without the need for extra services or carrier fees. The application usually sells for $49.95 which is a turn off to some users, but today only you can get Tetherberry for only $24.97 - thats 50% off! This is a great discount if you've been contemplating pick it up but just haven't pulled the trigger. I've been using it on my netbook since release, and I must say there is no easier way to tether. Just install the app on your device and PC or Mac and you're set. Head over to the CrackBerry App Store to check it out.

I love tetherberry

 
 
Posted by Tws49 Sunday, Nov 01, 2009 832 days ago

I installed TetherBerry to see if the connection speed was better than my T-mobile Dial-up network , well it seems that tetherberry installs it own custom network driver and dup's a dialup connection , this really screwed things up because after checking the speed (that was really slow 103 bps) I went back to my T-Mo network (115.2 Kbs) I was getting "error 692 Hardware failure in the modem or connecting devise" I had to uninstall the two dialup network connections and the Desktop manager , reinstall the DM and recreate the T-mo dialup connection ,what a pain in the you know what. After is all said and done I am back online So I would recommend that TetherBerry be tested on all servise providers before it claims to have speeds up to 1800 Kbs (yeah right) and to advise it users of the changes it makes in your network settings (maybe I missed that part) before being updated and released again .

Well thats my rant Please correct me if I'm wrong

What do you do on Tetherberry?

 
 
Posted by Bakarus Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Does this work with os 5.0?

 
 
Posted by devGOD Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

you can do the same thing that tetherberry does for free with Windows and a usb cable

 
 
Posted by rip14 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

How? Do you have a link? I searched, but probably didn't use the right key word.

 
 
Posted by clexman Sunday, Nov 01, 2009 832 days ago

Not on most Sprint or Verizon accounts...

 
 
Posted by lg212 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

This is a great way to connect to my laptop and works very well. The sale price offered here is a unbelieveable deal. What sucks is I purchased my Tetherberry app a few weeks ago and had topay full price. If I would have known this was coming, I would have waited like I'm sure some others would have also.

 
 
Posted by jraskal Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I logged in, and decided to take advantage of the half off deal. I clicked the Paypal option, and it offered me a $25 credit if I used Bill Me Later (in conjunction with Paypal). This is a super deal, effectively making the purchase free! I'm not sure if everyone is offered this via Paypal/Bill Me Later, but if it is, this is a SUPER deal!

Bill Me Later is a credit account that you can use to make purchases. CIT Bank will review and consider your credit report and other credit related information prior to approval. Credit worthiness is determined by CIT Bank.

19.99% APR

so does it take place of the carrier software. as it would seem that tethering has been discontinued unless tethering is subscribed too.

 
 
Posted by zackymcharvest Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

:( I paid full price for this lol. BUT ITS SOOOOOO WORTH IT

 
 
Posted by njbourne23 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I would love this product but has anyone used it with Verizon? Will Verizon charge you their fee as well? will this product just bypass Verizon and allow me to use the service even though Verizon locks it and you have to pay to have it unlocked to use it through VZW??? Please if you are to comment on this, please have experience with VZW and not just guessing or surmising please.

But you are basicly breaking the contract you have with verizon.. somewhere in the fine print is say that you will not use there internet to run any said app that would abuse there network.. etc..etc.. They want you to use there paid services... Tetherberry will work though around there tethering nextwork.. The data that is used comes out of your unlimited data service.. the only way that they would know if you were tethering or not is if you abused the power and started downloading movies and lots of music.. I have had tetherberry for sometime... works very well... with 5.0 internet improvements.. tethering is sometimes faster then my comcast.. there is an issue with DM for mac and tetherberry not wanting to work together.. but works just fine on a PC.. So as long as you keep your usage low..(you can tell... there is a window that lets you know Bytes sent and recived.) and dont go asking verizon if it is cool if you steal from them with tetherberry instead of buying there 5gb capped tethering service.. verizon will be non the wiser... But Tetherberry is worth the 50 is normally sells for.. so half off is a steal.. especially if that paypal credit is liget.. I think it ment that you were getting charged the 50 right off.. then you will be credited the 25 bucks, making it half off.. hope i helped...

I just bought my first blackberry (storm 2) on verizon 2 days ago... I have an Apple MacBook Pro running Leopard.. will this work? I'm running the os 5.0 on BB and i have the desktop manager installed on my mac. I would love to buy this if it gets around extra charges from my carrier... but will it work!?

I already tried setting up tethering through Bluetooth and USB, but couldn't figure either one out. Any advice?

*****UPDATE*****

I just downloaded the Free Trial and it all works perfectly, all you do is install on Mac & Blackberry, open the application in your Mac, connect, and internet is up and running. I'm buying this right now! The speed is not bad at all either

 
 
Posted by marcyalisa Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Looks like I got it free too when I used PayPal & Bill Me Later... $25 dollar credit from Bill Me Later... Awesome... used this on trial basis when I was outta town... saved me a heck of a lot on hotel wifi charges... woo hoo... great app... and I work on a MAC... I will uninstall Desktop Manager if I have to so I can use this when I'm outta town... Love it!!! Thanks Tetherberry!!!

 
 
Posted by njbourne23 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

how do you use the bill me later option, i dont see it

 
 
Posted by tdawg2008 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

sweet deal. picking up mine now :)

 
 
Posted by chrs1212 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Does this work with VZW????? Don't they have a block on Tetherberry?

 
 
Posted by clexman Sunday, Nov 01, 2009 832 days ago

Verizon cannot block access to a specific application unless they want to get the net neutrality folks coming down on them.

Verizon blocks dial-up networking. This just uses your phone's existing connection and runs an app on your phone that funnels the data to your computer. As far as your carrier is concerned it looks like you are just browsing the web on your phone.

Once again, this is NOT the same as setting up a connection manually on your computer.

 
 
Posted by AflownwiZ Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

whats the speed like ?

 
 
Posted by Naman919 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I've gotten close to 1Mbps but nothing really over that. Still great for on the road. I streamed Hulu for 7 hours on a road trip with no problem.

 
 
Posted by njbourne23 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Wheres the bill me later option? i only see a confirm order

PLEASE HELP

 
 
Posted by clesli01 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I don't see it either.

Are you using Crackberry to purcahse it? And how to you use paypal(bill me later) to checkout??

 
 
Posted by jraskal Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I clicked the link through the CB site, and when it brought me to the payment options, I selected Paypal. After logging in through Paypal (yes I have a verified account with them) a pop up showed the offer.

I'm guessing if you already recently took advantage of this of this offer, it won't be offered again--but I don't know this for sure.

**I don't know how they are deciding who to give this offer to.

 
 
Posted by patrickrho Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Just got mine

sweet deal

I wanted this since sprint blocked std DUN connection

 
 
Posted by Jamieinnh Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I just bought it a week ago, for full price... I love it, but wish I had waited...

Who knew... Oh well, still worth the price.

It is pretty easy with this app, but Windows 7 makes it really easy to tether without 3rd party app. Most can figure it out in XP or even on a Linux distribution. PM me and I can help.

 
 
Posted by jkpitcher Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

But if berry weather goes on sale you got a deal.

 
 
Posted by mpscan Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Windows 7 + Bluetooth = Tether free in about 90 seconds. This doesn't even support Bluetooth.

P.S. I actually bought Tetherberry for $49.95 a few months ago, used it, and it works as advertised. However, once I found out that Windows 7 can do the same, over Bluetooth (all for free!), with about 4 clicks to setup everything up, I uninstalled Tetherberry.

 
 
Posted by sabbotage Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

care to elaborate on how to do this or point me to a link with instructions?

 
 
Posted by clesli01 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

How did you do the bluetooth windows setup?

 
 
Posted by patrickrho Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

tethering does not work for sprint anymore as they cut off the users using DUN connection recently

Tetherberry uses the phone's data plan instead of calling outbound

 
 
Posted by shimm3r Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

So they have blocked the APN you were using. Change the APN to what they are now using in the modem string.

 
 
Posted by huix0018 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Can Sprint trace Tetherberry?

 
 
Posted by snowwy66 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

has anyone tried using the bb desktop software also. version 5.01 has the capability. but it don't list sprint or vz. someone needs to list the protocols to put in. if anyone has it.

i'm guessing this software goes around the carrier. since one of them USED to include in the plan but not it's been discontinued and i actually have to pay for service if i still want it.

 
 
Posted by njbourne23 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Can someone please explain how they got the paypal discount?

 
 
Posted by mrholder Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

According to their forums you can't have the new Mac Blackberry Desktop Manager installed because it causes a "failed to load" interface issue when trying to run the desktop application.

I ran into this problem with the free 7 day trial.
I'm pretty sure they will be able to work out this bug eventually though.

 
 
Posted by njbourne23 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

Sorry guys my computer was a bit of a pain i just now saw the reply that it was a pop up sorry

 
 
Posted by djone Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

If I install on my Storm and later buy the Storm2, will I need to purchase again for my new phone? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

 
 
Posted by jraskal Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

You get a Tetherberry account when you purchase/register. You can just change your PIN by logging in.

 
 
Posted by billbobaggins Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

I have been using Tetherberry for 6 months now with no problems, I have a Tour with Verizon. I was using it when I had my pearl and no problems there either. As long as you DO NOT DOWNLOAD MUSIC AND MOVIES or other large files you will be ok. I use about 2GB a month and have not heard a peep from Verizon.

 
 
Posted by tarotmusic Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

This is a great deal - got mine for half off when I didn't win one of the 1,000 giveaway a few weeks ago and emailed a special deal. Worth every penny!

 
 
Posted by Crunch Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

...Desktop Manager 5.0.1 with built-in and free tethering is easiest, fastest, and freest. ;) No interest here.

 
 
Posted by rip14 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

That does not work with VZW :(

 
 
Posted by J-SOULJUH Sunday, Nov 01, 2009 832 days ago

it work fine for me and i have vzw

 
 
Posted by timhom Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

.

 
 
Posted by markbb99 Friday, Oct 30, 2009 834 days ago

They obviously realise their days are numbered now BB Desktop Manager has this functionality built in for free. Paying $25 for this now is just not worth it - I think they will be struggling to get people paying $2.99 for this now.

I connected my BB to BB DT, selected my carrier and hit the connect button - cost $0. Simpler than downloading and installing Tetherberry and faster too.

VZW blocks this
