About permissions for third-party applications
You or your administrator can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry® smartphone
interact with the other applications on your smartphone. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can
access data or the Internet, make calls, or use Bluetooth® connections.
If you have added third-party applications to your smartphone, your smartphone is designed to prevent these applications
from sending or receiving data without your knowledge. Before a third-party application sends or receives data, you might be
prompted to accept or deny the connection request. For a selected application, you can change this prompt for a specific
location or resource.

About direct Internet connections for third-party applications
Some third-party applications that you add to your BlackBerry® smartphone might require a direct TCP or HTTP connection to
the Internet. For example, a stock price application might need to connect to the Internet to retrieve the latest stock prices.
You might have to set the APN that the third-party application uses for this connection.
