Mini-howto on connecting to the internet using a Sony Ericsson T637 with AT&T service. This uses GPRS, not a normal dialup account -- if you have a data transfer limit, watch your usage!

Read the rest of the hint for the steps...

  1. Pair the phone and your computer
  2. Open Bluetooth Serial Utility (/Applications -> Utilities -> Bluetooth Serial Utility.app)
  3. Open System Preferences
  4. On the phone, go to the 'Connect' item in the main menu
  5. Click on the modem icon on the menu bar (make sure 'Phone' is selected as opposed to 'Internal Modem') and click Connect.
You should now be connected to the net via GPRS.
