Motorola RAZR V3xx
What if you could use your Mac laptop to check your email and get on the Internet wirelessly? Yea sure, you can drive around looking for wireless hotspots, or pay to use the wireless service at Starbucks. But what if you could connect no matter where you are? (as long as you have phone service). That would be great! You could check your email while waiting for your lunch to be served at your favorite restaurant or coffee bar, even if they do not have wireless service.
Well, you can do it using your RAZR V3xx phone and a Mac Powerbook, MacBook or iBook.
You can get on the Internet at fast 3G speeds that are typically 600 kb/s to 950 kb/s .
Open your laptop and get on the Internet. All you have to do is select “Connect” from the Phone Menu on your laptop.
And it is more secure than an open wireless hotspot .
You can also use your phone to make and receive calls while browsing the Internet.
You can use bluetooth 2.0 to make the connection or use a USB cable (more reliable).
You will need:
- A Powerbook, MacBook or iBook with Mac OS X
- Bluetooth 2.0 hardware (built-in or using a USB Bluetooth 2.0 Adaptor)
or USB cable - Motorola RAZR V3xx (Other 3G phones may work with this procedure)
- AT&T MediaNet Plan
Two ways to Connect:
1. USB cable
You can use a USB cable to connect your phone to your laptop. This is the most reliable method. After experimenting with bluetooth for a month, I have decided to use a cable instead. I get too many dropped connections using bluetooth with the Motorola V3xx.
2. Bluetooth
Pairing your Powerbook with your Bluetooth phone.
-
You need to pair your phone with your Powerbook using Bluetooth Preferences. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on in your phone and that Bluetooth is “Discoverable”.
Select “Set up Bluetooth Device…” from the Bluetooth Menu on your Powerbook. If this menu is not visible, look in your Application Utilities folder for “Bluetooth Setup Assistant”. Follow the instructions for pairing your phone. -
Select System Preferences from the Apple Menu and click on the Network icon. Click to highlight Bluetooth and then click on the Configure button.
-
With the TCP/IP tab selected, choose “Using PPP” from the Configure IPv4 menu.
-
With the PPP tab highlighted, Enter your account information. The above example works for AT&T Wireless (formerly Cingular) with the MediaNet plan. The password is CINGULAR1. If you are not on the AT&T Wireless plan, ask your carrier what information to enter here.
-
Uncheck the “Send PPP echo packets” option in PPP Options
to prevent your calls from being dropped intermittently. -
With the Bluetooth Modem tab selected, check three boxes:
“Enable error correction and compression in modem”
“Show Bluetooth status in menu bar” and “Show modem status in menu bar” -
Choose “Motorola 3G CID2 ” from the Modem pop-up menu.
- Now you’re done. Just hit “Apply Now” and try out your new connection.
Note: Screenshots have been included for both versions of the OS.
