General settings > network > turn off that 3G hoopla 
I personally think something else is wrong. You should not be just cycling 5 IPs total. Try just completely turning your phone off for some time. Not instantly back on.

No such switch on 4GS.... Been reading Howards Forums and some other forums and apparently the option was removed in later phones with newer chips...
Guess ill be looking into one of those flashed mifi units they get going with boost mobile. Some seller even guarantee 1 year of free data... Not sure now...

Is that walmart plan a pre-paid plan? I dont want to go into anymore contracts... arghhhh | Yes the walmart plan is no contract. You just buy the Sim and the Plan you have to provide your own phone.
i like this tethering option because all you have to do is tick your data off and back on takes about 1-5seconds and you have a new ip address.

I know tethering does not work with all phones. Been trying to get my LG Thrill to work with it... No luck!

Have had every iPhone but 4S. Anyways, I personally import cheap Android phones with at least Froyo OS 2.2 or higher and put my SIM in to utilize the free tethering. Can be had for around $150 brand new on EB or cell phone resellers. Huawei and Samsung have some great, extremely cheap Android phones.

I use the Galaxy S II and HTC One S,
@newjerseymax
the thrill is a AT&T phone, you will need to root the phone and possibly have to put on a different rom to utilize the tethering. AT&T does not offer free tethering like t-mobile. But try to root the phone and download the wifitether apk from google or barnacle wifi tether from the app store.

I looked at those phones and yes they are great, but just too much for my purpose. I simply need an android phone that will allow tether...
So basically I can buy a Chinese android phone 2.2 or higher
Go to walmart and they have a $30 a month plan with Data.
Then download tether app and im good to go? Does that sound about right?
Is the walmart plan t-mobile?

I'm thinking about buying the MiFi 2200 with sprint's data plan. But i'm not sure as to if sprint gives a different range of ip's every time. Does anyone have an experience with this?

I was looking at those mifi too... But dang one of my primary reasons for switching from android to apple was because tether was flawless and I made sure to proper pay for tethering and all. Now id hate to buy a mifi... Im thinking of selling the iphone and buying android phone instead. I might even come out ahead....

Is the walmart plan t-mobile? | WalMart service is T-Mob. Second, an imported phone with Froyo OS 2.2 can already tether. It's a basic feature in Android and only disabled by dumb*ss carriers here in the USA.
I imported a nice little unlocked Samsung with OS 2.2, went to WiFi settings and BAM...FREE TETHERING.

Going to test the new Verizon prepaid mifi box next week!

yea Virgin Mobile has tons of IP address ranges. My IP ranges bounces all around the West coast, sometimes even to TX.
Cheapest plan is $35 with 300 min and everything else unlimited. You might even find a smartphone on ebay with the old data plan rates of $25/month/w unlimited data. Kinda hard to find but I have seen them.

Also, do you mind telling me which blackberry you use. I might go this route if I can just swap SIM cards...
