Scripts
Install them in to /Library/Modem Scripts/ folder-you dont need the text scripts.
Moto scripts
SE
Nokia
make sure the phone is paired to your laptop, go to the bluetooth tab under the network panel in system preferences, PPP tab:
- telephone number YOUR APN
all things should be unchecked in teh ppp options button except TCP header compression
- T-Mobile WAP users see also T-Mobile Proxy Settings
now under bluetooth modem, wait for dialtone before dialing, enable error correction and compressiion should be checked.
As for the modem script, you'll have to try all of the ones you installed (things are called Motorola 3G CID 1 or 2, Nokia 3G CID 1, etc...) cos it varies for different phones acheck show modem status in menu bar if it isnt already hit apply now, and then try connecting! the phone may ask for permission for a connection. accept it if it needs it! any problems or questions? PM me! good luck
Note: if you're on the a proxy, and are trying to use ichat, etc, it may not work unless you go under the accounts panel and under server settings and choose connect using proxy
T-Mobile APNs
| Service | Access Point Name (APN) |
|---|---|
| T-MobileWeb | wap.voicestream.com |
| T-Mobile Internet | internet2.voicestream.com |
| T-Mobile Internet with VPN (Virtual Private Network) | internet3.voicestream.com |
| T-Mobile BlackBerry | wap.voicestream.com |
| T-Mobile SideKick | hiptop.t-mobile.com (Only accessible from a SideKick) |
All APNs have access to T-Mobile's EDGE Network without any additional configuration or charge from T-Mobile. There are no noteable speed differences between any of the APNs except the latency inherent to any wireless packet-switching network.
T-MobileWeb
Previously known as T-zones. This is T-Mobile's APN for WAP access using the WAP Gateway. This is the APN you must use in order to access any WAP site. IP addresses are assigned based on NAT. Example: 10.x.x.x T-Mobile also employs port restrictions to limit internet access on devices such as smartphones. See also proxy.
Internet
Same as T-MobileWeb except there is no WAP Gateway to go through before reaching the internet. In addition there are no port restrictions however IP addresses are still asigned based on NAT. Example: 10.x.
Internet with VPN
Same as Internet except that the Dynamic IPs assigned are externally addressable to allow for VPN and other direct access type applications. Example: 208.x.x.x You must specifically request "with VPN" support when adding this service otherwise you will only receive the Internet APN.
BlackBerry
Same as T-Mobile Internet with the additional support for the BlackBerry products. The internet portion of this service may be used on non-BlackBerry devices as a substitute for T-Mobile Internet. Many have had success using this data plan instead of the Total Internet package when they do not need or want the HotSpot portion of the service.
SideKick
Similar to T-Mobile Internet with the additional support for the SideKick device. This service can not be used on non-SideKick devices due to device specific needs and requirements for the SideKick devices.
