IPad2 and BT mobile broadband

I've bben given this info from BT:-
Enter the settings by accessing SETTINGS - GENERAL - NETWORK - CELLULAR DATA
GPRS
APN - btmobile.bt.com
User - bt
Password - bt
MMS settings
APN - btmobile.bt.com
User - bt
Password - bt
MMSC: http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms
mmsproxy:212.183.137.12:9201
Max message size 307200"
But
"SETTINGS - GENERAL - NETWORK - CELLULAR DATA"
after "Nertwork" you have only "VPN" & Wi-Fi
I have changed in setting "Cellular Data" to APN:- "btmobile.bt.com" ; Username:- "bt" ; Password:- "bt"
It wont pick up a Carrier on "Automatic"
If I manually set the carrier to "vodafone" I get the message "Restricted Network. Your cellular network is restricted. You can choose a different network in Settings".
Help!!!!

Yes. It is called NetworkManager and may already be installed. Plug in your dongle & open the NetworkManager GUI choosing "Edit Connections" from the menu, click the Mobile Broadband tab and then click "Add". It will then display a list of devices (usually only one, if that is all you have plugged in). Select it and click Forward. Then choose United Kingdom from the country list. Select BT Mobile and click Forward. Take the default billing plan and click "Forward". Note that it will fill in the APN as "btmobile.bt.com" rather than btmobile2.bt.com, but you can edit that later. Then click Apply. That's all!
You can go back in and edit the entry to select Automatic Connection, if that is what you want.

ASA 5505 VPN and Sprint Mobile Broadband clients.

I have a strange problem, it's something that just started recently when we had a user try to gain access with a Sprint Mobile Broadband card. We have quite a few remote users, probably not more than 6 ever connected to the VPN at once, and I have not heard of any issues until recently. We are starting to require more travel to remote locations, so the use of the hotel internet, as well as Sprint mobile broadband is becoming more important.
There are a few issues here. Everything is IPsec.
Mac OSX with VPN client version 4.9.01 will connect to the VPN when connected to a normal internet connection, but as soon as it gets on the Sprint Mobile Broadband device, it connects for exactly 5 seconds and disconnects.
Windows XP Pro, has no problems with normal internet, on the wireless broadband modem, it will connect to the VPN, but have no access to internal resources or access to the internet.
Windows Vista, has issues all the way around, but mainly when connected to the wireless it has the same issues as XP minus the internet browsing.
Strange thing is, all these problems seem to been different, but they all started around the same time. I have been testing everything I can think of. Talked to Sprint, which the lady there was actually very helpful...just have to get to the right person. But nothing we tried did any good.
Does anyone know of any settings on my ASA that I need to change in order to get these types of connections to work?
The best part of all this is that my Linux machine can connect/surf/and browse the internal network through the VPN just like it normally would work.
Something has to be wrong with my client config settings that is causing this to happen.

Have you enabled NAT Traversal? (Both on the Client and ASA)
That would be the first thing to check.

Have installed OSX Mavericks and Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem no longer connects despite reloading its software. Now cannot reinstall OSX Mountain Lion

Upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem no longer connects. Tried again after reinstalling latest Vodafone Modem software update for Mac OSX, but no use.

Could somebody give a feedback about the solution proposed by Bokir?
I am experiencing exactly the same problem after upgrading to Mavericks with the Huawei E220 modem.
The connection is established for a few seconds, but no data is transfered, and the connection is then closing automatically.
I left the modem plugged in and the Vodafone software set to Automatic, and after numerous attempts and 10 to 15 minutes, it appeared that the connection was finally established.
That is of course no way to work.
After running the VMB uninstaller, there are still a lot of stuff in library cache & preference folder that are pertaining to VMB and not removed.
It is also strange that after uninstalling and reinstalling the VMB software, I am not requested to enter my pin code to establish a connection.
It is obvious that there must be some other VMB files (probably corrupted) somewhere in the system that are not removed by the uninstaller.
I have another macbook pro running VMB without problem and I am really afraid to install Mavericks on this laptop because of this issue.
Thanks again for any feedback.

My Time Capsule and MIFI mobile broadband

I just changed from broadband to MIFI mobile broadband and wonder how I can connect them so I can keep on my backup?
Is that possible as I had it before connected with Ethernet to my modem....
or is it useless now?
Thanks guys!!!

This is tricky alright.. the TC really doesn't like wireless connection.. but there is a hidden option.. hold the option key when you select the wireless.. instead of create or extend you will have a new option.. join a wireless network.
Put in the SSID and security to your MiFi mobile device.. assuming you do have a router of some kind and not just a stick. This will make all backups very slow as it is double hop wireless. All packets must be double sent.. client .. mifi.. TC and double received.. TC.. mifi..client.
When you put TC in this mode.. there is no ethernet or wireless from it.
An alternative is to use the TC by ethernet direct to the computer and off the network. Mostly people with laptops find that harder because it takes the TC to be manually plugged in to work.
You can also use a USB drive direct which is cheaper and easier. Much faster than double hop wireless too.

DROID Incredible and Mobile Broadband

I just upgraded to a DROID Incredible and want to tether my device and use Mobile Broadband. The problem is I have a MacBook with OS X 10.5.8.
Is it posiible to tether the Incredible to the MacBook? If so, how do I do it? The software that came with the phone was for Windows. I have AccessMgr on my Mac as I used to tether an LG Env3.
Thanks for the help.

You can as long as you are on android 2.2, go into settings>wireless and networks and enable it, but you do have to pay extra for it.

Problem connecting Huawei E303 Mobile Broadband Dongle to MBP 2012

I have just purchased the Huawei E303 USB Stick for my mobile broadband from Singapore's StarHub. According to the instruction sheet, the laptop should detect the USB automatically and the mobile broadband should install itself automatically. My MBP 2012 does not detect the USB drive so I can't install the mobile broadband. My MBP run Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Does anyone have the same problem? Do you think it's the problem with Huawei or Apple? I have seen many forum posts on this issue but no one seems to offer definite solutions.

Just my personal experience : I just installed a E303 on my MacBookPro Retina 15" running 10.8.2.
All went smoothly (took a bit of time) for the first time.
I unplugged the modem and pluged it back a few minutes later, and the modem doesn't show anymore, and is not recognized by the previously installed software. LED status show booting.
Then I tried on a recent macbook Air 13", 10.8.2 as well. modem is not seen either.

Why gnome-ppp establish mobile broadband connection,not networkmanager

I am using usb radio modem AirPlus MCD-650 on my summer cottage and trying to setup internet. I have both Ununtu and Archlinux partitions, but prefer to use Arch, because my computer is too old for heavy Ubuntu OS.
There is no problem to connect to internet from ubuntu network-manager-applet in Gnome panel (which uses networkmanager daemon), even from LiveCD. But in Archlinux, following instructions on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_manager fails to succed. But another way: to use gnome-ppp program (graphic interface for wvdial) establishes connection. I prefer first way as less "clickable" and wonder if somebody can explaim me my mistakes.
As I noticed, in Ubuntu there are both lines in right-click network-manager-applet menu
1)Enable networking
2)Enable mobile broadband
but in Arch only first one in this place. May be it can help.

Lack of options for Mobile Broadband users.

I am really disappointed with the lack of options i have because my only internet option is Mobile Broadband. I live in an area, that Telstra decided, didnt need to change with the times so we get no ADSL internet as the exchange is too far away and Telstra dont feel the need to upgrade so the whole town can get ADSL. The NBN is everywhere around us but here and the mobile broadband is a bit sketchy as we have poor reception in our area. There are no bundling options for mobile broadband and discounts are quite poor. Paying $60 pm for 8 gb of data , which lasts about 2 weeks at my place (teenaged kids) if im lucky. I have since got Foxtel through telstra and also have my home phone also. So now I pay well over $200 per month for these services. It is annoying to know that people can get all this with multiple times more data and included calls for lees than half of what i pay. So why are we being taken advantage of just because Telstra havent provided decent infrastructure for us to get ADSL.

Hello,The reason that Telstra are limiting their infrastructure is that the NBN will make their network largely redundant, and will not spend money to tide their customers until NBNThere is also major congestion even in inner suburbs of major cities.Sorry, but as a customer also, I am unable to help you.Thanks

I bought a new MacBook Pro (Mac Os 10.8.4) when conecting my mobile broadband dongle (Huawei E122) the computer does not read it at all. I do not have problems when connecting it to my former computer (PC) and a Mac from last year. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
But thank you for your reply!

F3507g mobile broadband driver - Windows 7 - and Cisco Vpn issue

Hi All,
After 3 days trying to install / update latest drivers on my X200/ Windows 7 / 32b, it seems now that my F3507g is now installed correctly…
I can go the a connection over internet and ping some servers BUT when I initiate my Cisco Vpn, ( working perfectly with my Ethernet connection and my Wifi 5300 AGN ) the connection is ok but no incoming or outgoing traffic !!!
Any idea on how to solve that issue ?

Yes, this is a problem with the IPSEC VPN NDIS driver binding your Mobile Broadband driver. You need to read this article and it is explains why and how to work around this issue:

Mobile Broadband and Apple TV

Hello
I am looking at purchasing Apple TV but wondered if it would work with Mobile Broadband?
Just wanted to find this out before I make the purchase.
Any help would be appreciated.

Depends what you mean.
Any internet connection should work - wired or wireless.
However, AppleTv will not accept standard USB Mobile Broadband dongles.
If you had a computer nearby you could potentially share it's mobile broadband internet connection over ethernet or wi-fi to AppleTV.
If you had some form of mi-fi device with a small wireless/wired router running from a 3G SIM you'd probably be ok, but mobile broadband might be too slow for good performance and unless you had extremely cheap data plans could be very costly.
For example HD movies may be several GB in size, so you'd need to factor the mobile bb cost into the rental price.
If your mobile bb device gave say a sustained 1-2 Mbps, then it might take several hours to download enough of a film to start watching without interruption - it would work but you might be better off letting it all download overnight for example before watching the next evening.
It really depends on exactly what you're considering.
Also, beware of quoted mobile bb speeds which are theoretical and rarely achieved in practice.

Set up and activate Telstra Pre-Paid mobile broadband

Set Up Your Pre-Paid Mobile Broadband WiFi Device
Activate Your New Telstra Pre-Paid Service

Re: Set up and activate Telstra pre-paid mobile broadband
I currently have internet at 6/320 Manly Road Manly West Qld, but have recently moved, so need to know what my options are on moving the service to my new address.
I tried Wi-Fi from the main house at the new address, as I live in the unit in the back yard, but even with an 'extender' which we purchased today, there is minimal WI-FI.
Is it possible to get a moveable modem so that I can take it anywhere, and have this instead of my current service, I don't need a home phone, what are my options?

Upload data problem with HUAWEI E173 t mobile broadband and Mountain Lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and updated my T Mobile Broadband software. It successfully connects to the internet.
But within minutes I had exceeded my fair usage policy having browsed five websites!
In T-mobile Internet Manager the Statistics shows huge amounts of data being uploaded ?in the background by OS X.
It is not syncing devices in iCloud. I have no other programs open.
It's uploaded 188MB in 30 mins. I have no idea what this data is or how to rectify this. Help, please?!

Until you can install updated 64 bit software or get hold of a 64 bit T Stick..
Boot your mac into 32 bit mode by holding down the 3 and 2 keys which should work OK.
Lion is 64 bit..

Mobile Broadband (3 Three UK ZTE MF622) and 10.5.3

Hi,
I have recently updated to 10.5.3 and now find that my 3 Mobile Broadband no longer works. All was fine under 10.5.2.
I have deinstalled the drivers and reinstalled with no joy.
I used the 3 supplied drivers from the USB modem itself (it mounts as a USB drive initially) which are revision B06 initally under 10.5.2 and these work fine creating 2 entries in Network Prefs Pane and installing an app (ZTE Mobile Connection). Launching this app and hitting connect on 10.5.2 produces a usuable broadband connection.
However under 10.5.3 the 2 network entries do not get installed and although the application runs and connects, Safari (and any other internet using app) fails as there is no route out to the net presumably because of the lack of network entries.
Needless to say I am getting nowhere with 3 customer services as although the modem supports Mac, sadly the helpdesk don't and can't assist me. They say its a Mac issue and I'm on my own.
I can find no later drivers and can only put this down to 10.5.3. I have installed the drivers on a fresh 10.5.3 Mac (e.g one that hasn't had mobile broaband on it before) and get the same issues.
I can find no reference to any issues for anyone else so I can only conclude its just me doing something wrong.
Any help/experiences greatly appreciated particularly in maybe recreating the network entries from scratch if anyone is using the same/similar combination of hardware/software as me.
Regards
NIALL8-(

Hi Niall,
I am running ZTE MF622 and 10.5.3 successfully on my Macbook Air.
Have you set up the network preferences pane using the ZTEUSBModem entry? Even though you should use the Three 'ZTE Mobile Connection' app to connect to the Three service, it seems the Network Preferences settings help. After setting a new location (perhaps 'Three') the network preference settings should be;
Configuration: default
Telephone Number: *99#
Note that I occasionally get a hang up on closing the ZTE Mobile Connection app. This resolves with a force quit - and I'm guessing it may improve with future firmware updates.
Regards
