How to Stop MTN, Glo, Airtel or Etisalat Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) From Deducting Your Airtime even Though Your Blackberry Phone is Idle

Have you ever discovered that your airtime account on your Blackberry (BIS enabled) was debited occasionally while surfing the net or when your blackberry phone was idle. A friend of mine woke up one day and discovered his airtime was gone, finished.

Well, all you need do is apply this simple tweak and voilà, life is beautiful indeed.

These steps should work on MTN, Glo, Airtel and Etisalat Blackberry devices and if your Blackberry operating system is either OS6 or OS7 you can search for “Service Book” (without the quotes) and jump to STEP 5: OR You can follow these steps.

STEP 1: Go to Options

STEP 2: Click Device

STEP3: Click Advance System Settings

STEP 4: Click Service Book

STEP 5: Now you need to delete anything that has the word "wap" (see the pic below)



But the problem with this method is, every time you do a hard-reset or you register on your blackberry, you'll need to go back and follow STEP 1 - 5

But hey, its better than allowing the network to consume your airtime.
