Moto Razr V3 + Apple MacBook
From here:
- How to set up the Phone as a Modem
- Call your service provider, ask for the �Unlimited GPRS Data Service�. It�s $19.99 a month with T-Mobile.
- Download the �Motorola GPRS Scripts� from www.taniwha.org.uk
- Extract the files in /Library/Modem Scripts
- Click on Apple menu icon, select System Preferences and double click the Bluetooth icon.
- Select �On� for the Bluetooth, and make sure it�s �Discoverable� and in the Menu bar.
- On the phone, press �Menu� and select �Connections� then select �Bluetooth Link�.
- Scroll down to �Setup�, change the power to �On� and select �Find Me�. You have 60 seconds now.
- On the mac, select �Pair New Device�, select �Mobile Phone�, and select the �Motorola Phone� when it shows up.
- There will be a �passkey� given on the screen which you need to type on your phone so the devices can pair.
- For Account Name and Password, leave them blank. For the �String� enter: �internet2.voicestream.com� (or the one provided from your company).
- Now go to �System Preferences� and select �Network�. Then select from the �Show� field �Bluetooth�.
- Click on the TCP/IP tab and make sure it says �PPP�.
- Now click on the PPP tab and enter for the Telephone Number the Network APN (T-Mobile�s: internet2.voicestream.com).
- Click on the Proxies tab and select �Use Passive FTP Mode�
- Click on the Bluetooth Modem and select �Motorola GPRS CID1? from the list. (This will be here if you extracted the package you had to download w/ the scripts above)
- Now hit the �Apply� button.
- You are all done. From here I would suggest editing the left option button on the Motorola RAZR so it points to the bluetooth link so that you can turn it on and off whenever you need (and don�t need) to use it as a modem. Remember, bluetooth on uses battery life faster. Then Go to your Mac and select Networking and click on the Bluetooth connection and select connect. Yes, you don�t need a username and password account because it�s already programmed into your SIM card.
* Setting it up as a modem is NOT hard at all. The reason people think it�s hard is because T-Mobile�s tech support is made up of incompetent morons. No one knew what the correct settings were, where I could enter them, and how I should use it. Herer�s a description of how to set up your phone step by step (assuming you have T-Mobile and that you are using Mac OS X. If you don�t, things should be almost exactly the same for windows, and you can def. figure out the difference. You simply need to call you provider and ask for the �telephone string� you need or the correct name is �Network APN�):
