I am trying to use Tether on my Blackberry Torch. My laptop is running Windows 7. I get the "Failed To Find an Available Port..." error.

The APN setting that was on my phone is: WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM.

I looked on the web page for the correct APN to use, but there was no entry for Africa. I am in the Peace Corps serving in Botswana. My carrier is Orange.

Can you tell me the correct APN to use.

Hello,

Based on a Google search the APN settings needed for your phone carrier, MTN South Africa, are as follows:

APN: internet.orange.co.bw
Username: mxit
Password: mxit

Give that a try. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
