Cell Phone Modem-

Alright, i've bad experiences with this in the past, and since I need it to just work this time, i'm going to ask for advice. I'm looking for a cellphone that can double as a working modem for my G4 powerbook. It can be tethered, it can be bluetooth, dun care. Now, my question is this- What service and phone do you use, and what package do you have? Did you have to ask for anything special? How much does it cost? Thanks much in advance.

Charles,
For a better chance of feedback you might want to indicate which part of the world you're in. Many models of phone, and most defintely phone plans, can differ by quite a bit.
The page I use to reference the modem capabilities of service providers and to access phone scripts is on Ross Barkman's site - http://www.taniwha.org.uk

Driver for AnyData EM lll Dual and Dataremote cell phone modem

Where I can find driver and others things for AnyData EM lll Dual cell phone modem
and for the CDS-9060 from dataremote company?
thanks...

Hello:
The best place to look for instrument drivers for LabVIEW and CVI is www.ni.com/idnet. I have already done a few searches here and have not found anything for the AnyData EM 111 Dual modem or the Dataremote modem. You might also want to contact your device manufacturer. Sometimes they have developed drivers in various languages that they may be willing to share with you. Unfortunately National Instruments does not have any drivers specifically certified for these two particular devices.
Thank you for contacting us!

Using VI Example Basic Serial Write Read to send AT commands to Cell phone modem error 1073807360

I am using the NI Example VI: Basic Serial Write and Read to send AT commands to a Cell phone acting as a Modem. I can send AT commands to this phone using Hyperterm when I select the modem driver by name in the hypert port selection field but not as com 7 which it occupies according to device manager modem properties. The basic serial vi does not show the modem driver as a selection, only ports by comX are shown. I get error 1073807360.

Have you tried to put the name you enter in Hyperterminal in the VISA resource control? If Com 7 doesn't show, you can simply type "COM 7" in the VISA resource control. Or use "ASRL::INSTR 7".
Also, make sure the connection in hyperterminal is closed, before you open the port in LabVIEW.
Hope it helps,
Wiebe.

Using cell phone as a 3G USB modem for Leopard

Hi All,
I just get an MacBook Pro the last week, I was happy with the UI of the OS at first sight, but when come to the setting of the network, I am really frustrated.
I get a SE P1i cell phone, I would like to use it as a usb modem for my MAC so that I can have 3G internet connection when on the road. But the problem is that, I can't connect it to my MAC at all!
Leopard can regonize my phone but it seems that none of the modem script(including the SONY ERICSSON script pre-installed) work for my phone. when I checked in the activity log, I see that the result of running every modem scripts are
"CCLExit: -6019 (Modem error, modem not responding.)"
I guess it should not be the problem of my phone as I try using SE K800i, the same result...
although I know that I can use the bluetooth rather the USB cable to connect them together, I would prefer USB cable as it is faster and more secure.
anyway, any help would be appreciated.

How to use cell phone as modem

I have a 3G enabled cell phone (Nokia E71) that I use as modem with my windows laptop
- connects via USB
How can I do the same with my MacBook Air ?
- have tried to connect, but nothing seems to be happening / detected

IF there are any drivers for your cellphones, they would be available through your cellphone manufacturer, or through 3rd party programmers who program for your cellphone and have written a Mac interface. Apple does not support it from their end --

Is there an app that allows me to use my cell phone as a router/modem?

I am new to the iPad/Apple world, and trying to learn as much as I can. Is there an application that will allow me to use my cell phone as a router/modem?

Depends on your phone. I phones and most droid smartphone will act as a hotspot. Check yours out. You will need your carrier to agree. At and t does tethering from an I phone for $20 per month. You don't need an app. If the phone produces a wifi hot spot the pad will see it, and you are good to go.

How to EA6500 without DSL modem, computer tethered to cell phone providing internet

Good Day All
I am trying to setup my EA6500 Smart Wifi router to share files across my network and provide internet to stream media to my DVD. I have in the past had it operating to stream to the DVD player via Ethernet cable but when I can do that I have no access to the router setup to configure any of its features. I can't access the USB hard drives or any of the setup functions all I get is a blank log in screen when trying to access it via its IP address. I do not have a DSL modem. My network is set up with a Desktop tethered to a cell phone and then connected to the router to provide the path to the other network components. All the configurations I have seen and all the help forums that I have found only talk about configuring with a DSL modem providing the internet. I am pretty sure the EA6500 will work the way I'm trying to configure it but I just can't get the settings nailed down to make it work as it should.Any one know of what I am doing wrong in configuring my network

Is this how your network is set up?
If yes, there is no Linksys router that will work this way. As far as I know, most of the router if not all needs Internet Connection (DSL, Cable, etc) to work and share internet connectivity to other network devices.

Setting up internet connection with a cell phone as modem

Well, I guess you can figure out what this is all about from the title..
Basically, I have a cell phone (Nokia N95 8GB) which I currently use for my internet connection on Windows XP, connected via USB cable. The question is how I would go about setting it up with Arch.. I really have no idea where to start. I have browsed the Wiki and been Googling for ages without much luck. I would therefore be very grateful if someone would point me in the right direction.
My ISP is Telenor, I live in Norway. I already have the details required for a working connection on Windows, would these be very different on Linux? Or, in other words, do I need additional information?
Do I have to use a "dialer" - like wvdial? If so, where do I get that one without a working internet connection?
Also, I have Arch installed on my US pen drive. Is there a recommended way to make my network settings portable between multiple computers, can I e.g. have multiple profiles?

I used to do this with a Nokia N70, and when I plugged in the USB able, the cdc-acm module would autoload and create a /dev/ttyACM0 interface that could be used by ppp. ppp is on the install iso, btw.
netcfg can handle multiple profiles - I haven't used it with dial-up myself though.

Add Cell Phone Network Extender to Apple Network

I am currently running a Time Capsule which gets its internet feed from a cable modem (Cablevision). I am trying to add a mobile phone network extender (Verizon micro cell) which requires an internet connection (via Ethernet cable) to create a cell phone call, since I have no towers in my area.
The Verizon micro cell requires a VPN output from the router; the TC does not support VPN. So the Verizon micro cell does not get an internet connection if I connect it to the TC via one of its ethernet ports. It does connect to the internet if I connect it directly to the cable modem.
APPLE: WHY DOESN'T THE TIME CAPSULE SUPPORT VPN?!? Honestly, enough is enough, I like the plug and play part of Apple equipment, but maybe, just maybe some people need semi-pro utility out of your equipment. End of Rant.
I could buy another cable modem from Cablevision and simply plug the Verison micro cell into that, but it costs $45 per month, so that's out of the question.
I would like to understand whether the solution I've been given from a very helpful Cablevision tech guy will work and how to execute it with minimum disruption to my network (currently the TC feeds an Airport Express elsewhere in the house as a network extender, so I really do mean minimal disruption, please). In essence, it involves cascading the Linksys to the TC.
I am told to connect the cable modem to a router (I have two unused Linksys routers, one wireless and one without WiFi; my preference is to use the non WiFi router so I don't have two wireless signals), and then connect via the Linksys ethernet ports to the Verizon micro cell and the other to the TC. Apparently this is possible if the TC gets a WAN connection, as opposed to a LAN connection, from the Linksys. The micro cell works fine already, so I guess it just doesn't care.
According to Apple, the input that I'm already using, from the cable modem to the TC, is a 1 GB ethernet WAN port for connecting a cable modem. When I cascade the Linksys to the TC, the TC doesn't see an internet connection, though, and it makes sense that there are conflicting IP addresses causing the problem. The port out of the Linksys works fine as if I switch the wiring, the micro cell gets an internet connection no matter what.
Question 1: How do I configure the Linksys so that its output is something the TC can handle? Will the configuration screw up the signal that's going to the micro cell which is already OK?
Question 2: Or what do I do in AirPort Utility to set up the TC to see the signal correctly (ie as a WAN signal) from the Linksys?
Question 3: Is there anything else I need to know?
Despite the "Go Dog, Go" style of writing above, I know my way around configuring Linksys routers, so your reply can be quite technical. Thanks in advance.

Well, not much telling unless you ask the carrier that you are trying to use. If it will not work with the SIM you are trying to use, there could be any number of reasons with a phone that has not been purchased through an authorized reseller. I'm afraid no one would really be able to answer your question without a lot more information.

How would I upload a photo to my motorola cell phone?

How would I upload a photo to my motorola cell phone?

I am trying to upload a profile photo to www.Logos.com. I did it before with iPhoto 9, but now that I have iPhoto 11, there doesn't seem to be any place on the Share menu item to allow me to just upload -- I have to depend on Logos to do the work.
I can access the iPhoto Library from my Home settings. This brings up all the photos, from which I choose one by highlighting it, and respond on the profile page website "Upload" All I get is a spinning ball and there is no action on my modem that anything is happening. I've never tried to access the iPhoto Library from iMovie. I have had no need to, at least I don't think I have a need.

Cell-phone reccomendations?

Since the iPhone is several months away at best, I'm looking for a new cell phone and want to make sure it work with all the great OSX syncing features. I'm looking for reccomendations.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Syncs with all of iSync, can use address book to make phone calls, ect.
Bluetooth (duh)
Camera Phone (preferred)
can import my own songs to the phone and set them as ringtones. (iTunes compatability nice, not required at all. Just as long as I don't have to lease call from the cell provider.
Also, I would really like it if I can use the phone (tethered, most likely) as a broadband modem, but that might require changing providers.)
Comments, suggestions, and any help appreciated!

Yes, unfortunately Apple are becoming incredibly slow at adding support for the latest handsets. Therefore currently third-party iSync PhonePlugins are required to sync these phones.
iSync PhonePlugins are the official way Apple provides for third-parties and handset manufacturers to add phone support.
See the page below for a list of all Sony Ericsson handsets and their iSync compatibility. Older models have built-in support, newer ones need a Plugin.

Problems with cell phone bluetooth hackers

Hi there, I have been having problems with someone accessing my machine through the wireless bluetooth system. The logs prove it and there seem to be no way to shut down or dissable the modems. There is more than one it seems. I have reformated my drive and reloaded operaring system. As I was going throught the initial state of the machine like firewall settings printer settings and wifi, the changes that I was making were being changed back. I have checked the remote settings like the remote screen set up and and then a cell phone mac address poped up. Is there code that I can write to the EFI to not load this bluetooth because I have spent countless hours trying to figure this out. In my Sony Viao I had such a go around with this It took me almost six weeks before I gave in and took it in to the shop. Today I was setting up the home network and public came up an then 2 and 3 was below it. NTUSER.DAT is respocible and I can't get rid of that either because one is keeping the other running. Computers aren't supposed to be like this I know . IF someone could help I would appreciate all that I can get. Thanks in advance.

Cell Phone Causes Lenovo S10 to Reboot

I left my Nokia E71 on the Lenovo S10's keyboard only to turn around to see it had randomly rebooted. Further investigation showed it can be easily recreated on the S10 while the IBM X60 Tablet did great.
Youtube video of reboot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAypYOTubHs
My site:
http://www.jasonhui.ca/2009/03/30/cell-phone-causes-lenovo-s10-to-reboot/

I had this problem too. Specifically a Dlink router (WBR-1310) and a Lenovo laptop (Y530) running Vista Home (32-bit). It would show that my laptop connected to the network, then a few seconds later the connection would be down and it would continuously connect/disconnect. My other system that was connected just fine through the router (running Windows 7) would get kicked off the network. Connecting the Vista laptop directly to the cable modem, though, would work just fine.
Found this post, and it worked for me. http://www.justanswer.com/questions/1wau3-bought-lenovo-laptop-y430
Just go into your Dlink configuration's Advanced tab, then the Advanced Network sub-tab. Uncheck the UPnP (universal plug and play), save the settings, and let the router reboot.
Now both my systems (Vista and Windows 7) are happy and connected through the router.

Fax using cell phone instead of landline

I've been all over the web trying to find out if this can be done. I did find a KBase doc that supports how to set up a bluetooth modem for faxing. But I could not get that to work. Anyone know how to set up a cell phone as a modem and use for sending faxes? I no longer have a land line and can't figure out why one wouldn't be able to use the cell for the analog line.
If anyone knows ANYTHING, please let me know. (3rd party software, tricks for Blackberry Pearl, T-Mobile restrictions, setting up to use the phone via USB and not bluetooth, etc)
Thank you so much! I'm sick of paying $20 a month for efax.com when I only need to send 1 or 2 pages per month.
