T-Mobile?
Authored by: drgardner on Mar 12, '03 09:18:27PM

There is a knowledgebase document on Apple Support that explains how to use the T68i as a Bluetooth Modem. Article number is 86151 and I found it by searching on "bluetooth modem." The article suggests selecting the Ericsson T39 19.2 modem script, but that didn't work for me - I ended up with a 9.6 connection using the 14.4 script. I'd try it by the book first, then experiment.

Does anyone know if the T-Mobile GPRS Service works with Macs? The T-Mobile website seems to state that it's a windows thing only. That's a pain...

Ive connected to the T-mobile GPRS but have not been able to connect through dial up. Can anyone confirm connecting through dial up with T-Mobile T68i and using "minutes" instead of "data".

I don't know why I called you "Dan" -- sorry, assuming that's not your name...

T-Mobile?

I have used both the ISP dialup and GPRS connections, with my Nokia 3650 and T-Mobile.

The ISP dialup is slow - around 9600bps. But it works fine, uses only regular voice minutes, and can work in a pinch if you need to connect to the network.

The GPRS connection is faster, but not amazing; I get around 28-35kbps (i.e., files download at ~4.5 kilobytes per second). You'd better sign up for the unlimited plan at $20/month if you want to use it more than once.

To set up GPRS, just enable the Bluetooth Modem Adapter in the Network prefpane, and set the PPP telephone number to *99#. Also, select a vaguely appropriate modem script in the Modem tab. (I use the Nokia Infrared script with no ill effect.)
