Opera Mini — wap.voicestream.com

Posted in General by twothirds on the November 30th, 2007

I have spent the past two-days trying to get Opera Mini to work on my new Blackberry Curve. I am a smart guy, or at least I can generally figure these things out. For whatever reason, I could not get the bloody app to load. It would complain about a missing network connection. After reading countless forum posts, performing various config tweaks and restarts, I finally figured it out. The APN gateway is “wap.voicestream.com”. For some reason, I was entering “wap.voicestream.NET”. Doh! So, if you are struggling with an opera mini install on a T-Mobile blackberry device, make sure you are using the “.com” address.

The full steps:

Options -> Advanced Options -> TCP
Enter the following APN setting:
wap.voicestream.com
Do not enter a username/password
Save

Note: GCalSync also needs these same settings

    I was having the same problem. To see if I missed something, I put into google search wap.voicestream.net and came across this site. Good info, I replaced the .net with .com, gave it a try and it STILL didn’t work. So I look closely at the APN for mispelling and it turned out there was a space just prior to the w in wap. I got rid of that, now things are working great!
