Hello everyone,
Here is a little gift for those that are cingular GSM customers with a unlimited data plan . After a hour or so of playing around with my Sony T637 I figured out how you can use this phone as a bluetooth modem.
*** Before we begin the setup process you must download the scripts needed for your phone from
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/ I haven't tested any other scripts but the sony ericsson 3g scripts are those that are needed for the t637. Once your download has finished you can then place the scripts in Macintosh Hard Drive / Library / Modem scripts Folder ***
1. Setup a new bluetooth device setup assistant (Mobile Phone).
2. Once your bluetooth phone is found you will have to initiate a pairing of the device with you bluetooth enabled mac.
3. The next step asks how you will be using your phone; " Setup isync to transfer contacts and events, use address book, and access the internet using your phone's data connection. There are two options underneath all this:
- Dial a specific number access number for your ISP.
- Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your internet service provider (GPRS, 1xRTT)
4. Select the second option.
5. This is going to take you to the last part of this setup which is going to ask you for all the information it needs to connect to the cingular network. All caps is a must.
- Username name:
ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
- Password: CINGULAR1
- GPRS CID String: ISP.CINGULAR
- Modem script: Sony Ericsson 3G CID1
Now that this part is complete now it is onto the internet connect window.
1. Open internet connect you should see the following under the bluetooth section:
** ALL CAPS**
- Telephone Number: ISP.CINGULAR
- Account Name:
ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
- Password: ********* (CINGULAR1)
2. Hit the connect button and you should connect without any issues if you get a error saying no response from the other end give it a few minutes and try again.
