The following are step-by-step instructions for getting your Motorola V600 from T-Mobile working with OS X.
- Call T-Mobile and turn on the $19.99 internet service if you haven't already, then wait 24 to 48 hours for activation. Before continuing with the Internet setup, you need to download the proper modem scripts. You can get them here. Use Stuffit Expander to extract the Scripts, and put all of them in /Library -> Modem Scripts/.
- If you've paired your phone and laptop already, delete them from both. It's easier to start from scratch.
- On your Mac, choose System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Settings. Check Discoverable and Support Non-Conforming Phones. Click on the Devices tab, and then Set Up New Device. Click Continue.
- On your Motorola, go to Main Menu -> Settings -> Connection -> Bluetooth Link -> Setup -> Find Me. This will make your cell phone discoverable for 60 seconds.

Setup, continued:
- On your Mac, select Mobile Phone and click Continue. The Mac will discover your cell phone. Highlight it, and click Continue.
- A passkey will display on the screen; accept the dialog on the Motorola that offers to bond with the laptop, and input the passkey that the Mac wizard issued.
- Select 'Access the Internet with your phone's data connection,' and then select 'Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your Internet Service Provider (GPRS, 1xRTT).' Click Continue.
- Leave the Username and Password fields blank. For GPRS CID String, enter internet2.voicestream.com. Note: if this doesn't work, try internet3. If neither works, contact T-Mobile and tell them you want to be on the internet2 or internet3 ASN. Select Motorola GPRS CID1 in the dropdown for Modem Script. Click Continue, then quit.
- Go to System Preferences -> Network, then highlight your Bluetooth connection. Click configure -> PPP tab -> PPP options, and turn off 'Send PPP echo packets'.
That's it!.
