Visits from Blackberry registered as UK
I have flag counter on my blog (www.bahrainipreneur.com) , my country is Bahrain.
Everytime a visitor logs in from Bahrain via Blackberry RIM , it is registered as UK visitor.
How can this be solved ?

Re: Visits from Blackberry registered as UK
Has the Blackberry the Bahrain GSM or is it an UK provider?

The Blackberry RIM service is offered by 3 telecom providers in Bahrain.

Re: Visits from Blackberry registered as UK
Sometimes when I browse my website using my Nokia E5 with Opera Mobile/ Mini, I get a new visit from US for some unknown reason. I later found out that when I activated ' Opera Boost ', I did in fact connect to a proxy server in the US which is under Opera's network. I disabled ' Opera Boost ' and things went back to normal again. 
Just thought you might find this interesting...

Hey Areo, Thanks for that explanation. It is likely that Bahrainipreneur has similarity on his Blackberry's.
It is amazing; I use a E5 too but never activated the browser. I'm happy if I'm able to make a phone call .
@Bahrainipreneur
Can you check that please.

Lots of mobile devices now connect via a server in a different country. For instance, if you use Opera on your Blackberry, you will get a flag from Iceland.

@Bahrainipreneur
To avoid those requests in this forum section I would recommend that you offer the Bahrain flag to the community at the appropriate section of this forum.
I plan to remove ghisray's request and my comment if you have provided the Bahrain flag to ghisray.
Please keep me informed either by posting here or by email. Thanks

Jens,
Thanks so I understand that I cannot really solve the UK flag showing for access via BB browser ( guess will just have to live with that ) 
For the request of ghirsay, I'm sorry but I don't know how to offer the flag of Bahrain. I'm very new to this and it is a standard flag part of flag counter list.

No problems, pleased to be of service. 
Well, that is a coincidence, indeed 
I dont know about phone calls though... I bet it would cost our wallets quite a bit and more importantly, I'm a shy person
