Copy Host Routing Table from one SIM to another? - GSM-Forum

b52murph · 04-24-2011, 15:13

Hi!

So here's the situation:

I have a BB 8520; my primary service (SIM) is in Italy (Wind Italy). Fully paid up BB BIS.

While I'm back in the US, I've purchased an AT&T GoPhone SIM with both data & voice minutes. However, I cannot purchase BIS access through an AT&T Pay-As-you-go account. Using the Wind SIM in the USA is foolishly expensive on Roaming charges. I am, however, occasionally using the WiFi feature.

While connected on WiFi, I can get the hotspot browser to work perfectly, however, I cannot seem to get the settings in the BB to also connect to BIS for e-mail. My understanding is that this is becuase the Host Routing Table is stored on my Wind SIM and not in the BlackBerry.

Is there anyway to copy the WiFi Host Routing table from the Wind SIM to either the AT&T SIM or the Blackberry itself so I can connect to the BIS when using WiFi?

Based on posts seen elsewhere, I've installed BBSAK, but am not sure where to go from there.

thanks!

Hit register on the network in host routing table option. as soon as you get data on your account.

Definitely no luck there...there is no "BB" plan option for using the AT&T service. I'd like to access BIS through WiFi only. Not possible to copy HRT from Wind SIM card to AT&T sim card (or to the phone itself)?

To clarify...my current Host Routing Table is blank. Not sure if there's something I also have to do with a Service Book?

A little bit more information--if it will help. BTW...I'm not tryin' to get anything for free; I'm already paying for BIS access through Wind Italy. I just want to be able to access it at the same time I'm using my AT&T SIM card.

With the Wind SIM card inserted, the WiFi diagnostics display the information below:

------
BlackBerry Infrastructure
Address Used: //rcp.eu.blackberry.com:443
IP Used: 193.109.81.88:443;62964
Connecting: Successful
Authenticating router: Successful
Authenticating server: Successful
Last Contact At: Apr 26, 2011 10:10
-------------

With the AT&T SIM card I only display "WiFi" and "VPN" areas on the report; the "Blackberry Infrastructure" is missing. Is there anyway to manually add the routing to the BIS server and authenticate (showing it's a paid-up service) with my BB's internal PIN?

Bumping--because I'm back in the USA again with same problem. Anyone have any ideas on a solution? thanks...

Your IMEI/PIN must be provisioned on the network you wish to use BIS. In order to do this, you need to add a BIS option to your AT&T plan.

PS- There's no such thing as "free BIS". Sure, you can browse the internet without a BIS plan, but you won't be able to use BBM and/or push email.

b52murph · 08-26-2011, 22:07

....and therin lies the problem...because AT&T doesn't offer a "BIS" option on GoPhone (pay-as-you-go) plans.

So...basically...I have to pay for BIS TWICE even just to connect to BIS through WiFi and use my AT&T data for non-BIS access when necessary?
