Does anyone know how I could hook my v60 up to my powerbook? I have a data cable, but when I connect it to my powerbook i can't get it to dial out. Any Ideas?

I'm pretty sure you need a connection script to use any cell phone, I know I had to download the Sprint one from their site.

With the v60, if you have AT&T, I'm told you cannot use it as a modem because AT&T doesn't allow it. If you have Cingular, you should be able to use it like a modem, but again you'll need that particular script.

I'm sure others here know how to obtain that script, or if there is software that works better than just the standard Internet Connect.

X.

The modem script works with your modem (in this case your phone) and is not dependend on your airtime provider. Google should be your friend, if not the manufacturer's site should list them.
