Connecting to internet with cell phone

I want to connect my MAC OS X to my Sprint Motoroal RazarPhone as Modem. Listed below is the "instructions" from Sprint: "SprintEnabled: Use the optional USB cable and your Sprint Power Vision Phone to connect to a PC, allowing Internet and email access." Somehow I feel there is a step or two missing can anyone enlighten me? I have full unlimited internet access through my Sprint package and want to connect my MAC to it. Welcoming any suggestions.

Hello
I haven't tried this, but found this on the net, which requires some additional scripts for the Mac for the Motorola Razr phone.

If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

Connect To Internet with Ovi Suite 2.0 Beta

I've moved from Nokia PC Suite 7.1 to Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0 Beta and can not connect to the Internet with my phone, everytime I try to connect by going to Tools/Connect to Internet it says I want to select my home operator from a list, then I select New Zealand as my home country and Vodafone NZ as my operator and when I connect it says Nokia Ovi Suite could not connect your computer to internet via vodafone NZ, is this possible? or should I go back to Nokia PC Suite 7.1 where it worked ok or at least worked?

Hi,
First of all its great you have tried to use Nokia OVI Suite 2.0, which is still in beta as you are aware, for time being, my suggestion to you is you can use Nokia PC suite 7.1 till Nokia OVI Suite 2.0 graduates from beta labs, once its live, you can use Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0 Because NOS 2.0 is in BETA, you cann't expect it could do everything ....

Is it possible to connect iphone5 bluetooth with other phone brands

Personal Hotspot is, in fact, the only way to pair your phone & iPad by Bluetooth. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.

Since the MacBook Pro currently works, you should put it next to the iMac and compare the network settings for AirPort in System Preferences Network pane Advanced. Also, if you want to start off with the default network settings, you can use Location drop down menu and select +Edit Locations+. Then click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up that new location.
On System Preferences Network pane, AirPort should appear at the top of the list (in the sidebar). To change the service order, click on the gear icon and select +Set Service Order+.
Some additional tests you can try, on top of seeing if it works with (1) WEP security disabled and (2) a direct wired connection to the router.
If you get it to work with either (1) or (2), be sure to run Software Update at least two times to apply any recent updates from Apple. See if that makes any difference to using AirPort with WEP back on.
(3) Start up in Safe Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
I don't know if any third-party software has been installed on the iMac at this point, but Safe Mode will start up with only the essential Apple extensions and processes running. See if it works any better in Safe Mode.
(4) Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try connecting with AirPort in the new account.
(5) Connect the MacBook Pro to the router with a wired Ethernet connection. Make sure its Internet access works. On System Preferences Sharing pane, set it up for +Internet Sharing+ so that it is set to +Share your connection from Ethernet - To computers using AirPort+. On the iMac, try to connect to that wireless network and access the Internet.
That last one (5) may be a good one to try first. It would at least show that the iMac's AirPort is working - you can even set it up to use WEP. If you have any questions about using the +Internal Sharing+ feature, please ask.

Canny connect to internet with airport express

I was connected to internet with wireless network using airport xpress and D-link DSL-300T cable modemeverything was fine till i did base station fireware update. Now i can only connect wired with usb modem, (my airtunes still works). Airport status is green and states i am connected to internet via ethernet _though safria is unable to find server. Have tried loads of things but to no success. Tried network assist but network password invalid? though it is correct! Also done hard reset on xpress no joy.
Any mac guru s fancy a challenge!?
Pls.

Likely your ISP uses the PPPoE protocol to connect to clients - and PPPoE doesn't work properly with firmware version 6.2 for the Airport Express.
Downgrade the firmware on your Airport Express back to version 6.1.1 with this software:

TS1286 Cannot connect to internet with USB

I am a new user of Ipod touch 5th gen 32 gig I cannot connect to internet with usb?

Hi bikernblondie,
When you say that you're trying to connect to the internet with USB, do you mean that you're trying to connect your iPod to the internet so that you can surf the internet with a browser on your iPod, or that you're trying to connect your iPod to your computer so that you can sync it with iTunes and bring over songs, movies, apps, etc.?
- O.C.

GerleMan, Welcome to the discussion area!
There are two probably causes:
Your ISP is blocking the port used by Entourage to send mail and the ISP used by the other wireless networks is not.
OR
Your ISP doesn't like OS X's default MTU seting of 1500. If this were the case it should also affect any large file transfers you try to make from your Mac to the Internet.

Ok..So you mean still cannot accessing the website with Internet connection? Try to use nslookup in command prompt to check whether can resolve domain name correctly. Also make sure you can ping the router's LAN IP from computer.
If not, you can try to use the following DNS servers from OpenDNS.com:
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.222

Connecting laptop to internet via cell phone

I heard i can use my cell phone to connect my laptop to the internet, i currently have a lg envy touch , with a 25 megabyte plan which would not be enough as I am wanting to get rid of current dsl plan and wanting to use my wireless plan as my only paid source of internet connection in my home.
I can upgrade plan to unlimited for 29.99 per month which is what i currently pay for my home dsl. I was told by verizon rep i could use a smartphone ( droid/ droid incredible) to set up a wireless connection in which i could also use my ipod and nintendo dsi to connect to internet as well at the same time as the laptop.
So my thinking is i add another line to my 2100 minute family plan for additional monthly cost of 9.99 get the droid for 199.99 with the unlimited plan of 29.99 bringing my total monthly bill to 170.00 minus taxes. I currently only use about 900-1000 minutes but the savings of dropping minutes just doesnt seem worth it to me as I have children on my plan and their minutes will increase at some point and I would rather be locked in to a plan that gives me more than needed.
So I am wondering if others on this forum could give me their opinion/advise?
Does anyone else use the unlimited 29.99 plan as their only source of internet connection? and how fast/slow etc?
If it matters I will be using the internet connection in Pasadena Texas and mainly we use the internet for general searches on basic info, job searches, facebook, ipod music, no gaming or anything complicated, just a typical basic internet family use.
Thank you so much!
Shannon

In addition to the unlimited $29.99 data plan, you would also need a $29.99 tethering plan, so it would cost you $60 a month - and the connection would not be as good as your DSL. And we use our DSL to connect to a router and have several laptops and desktops using our DSL, which would not work with a tethered connection. My advice - skip the tethering and keep the DSL.

How to connect to internet with sim 2 in XL

XL doesn't give option to connect internet with sim 2. When I turn on mobile data it always connect with sim 1. All time I have to go to settings to connect with sim 2 after connected with sim 1. Is there any way to choose sim when I'm turning on mobile data?

The user guide gives you this..
By default, your phone asks you which SIM to use for the connection. You can also set the default SIM for calls, messaging, and mobile data connections.
Select which SIM to use for calls and messaging
Tap Settings icon > Dual SIM.
Switch Always ask to OFF.
Select which SIM to use for calls and messaging.
Select which SIM to use for mobile data connections
Tap Settings icon > Mobile data and networks, and select which SIM to use for mobile data connections.
Availability of SIMs
You can use 2G or 3G SIMs in both SIM1 and SIM2 slots, but the SIM2 slot supports 2G network only.
When you set one SIM to be used for outgoing calls or messages, or for data connections, the other SIM can still receive calls or messages.
When one SIM is having an active connection, the other SIM is not available.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
