There is a solution if you do not mind paying a few quid (my attempt at being British).  Go to CLICK HERE. I use this and it is great, great, great.

Thanks for that but unfortunately it still doesn't work. It's a good website though and a really to use. i think my phone just doesn't like being used as a modem. go the feeling i might have a broken one!
Thank you anyway, and thank you for your attempt at being british

Did you try the software? It should support your phone. It supports my z800 and the 3G is nice.

I did try the software thanks and it's agreat idea but my phone still isn't connecting.
i'm getting really frustrated with it now. why do they sell phones when they know there is a problem with them!?
I have to call O2 back on friday when a guy in data support will be in who has a mac. personally i think i just need a new phone but they are refusing to believe it's their problem and keep blaming the fact on i'm doing something at my end when i have followed their directions to the letter.
Aggghhhh!!!!!! |

When you say, connect, could you explain this one last time. Can it connect to your Mac or not as a modem?

Not so, I've been stumped with the mobile-data connection (though with little drive to fix it). For kicks, I wanted to try dial-up via Bluetooth; same error - "No carrier detected...".
Bluetooth becomes active on both the 'phone and the Mac. Has anyone had this working yet? |

I have been using BT with my z800, for quite a while. It works great. Have no idea what the problem you guy are having.

hiya,
i have a k500i mobile, a g4 (digital audio) and i'm running X as well as 9.
what are my options to connect the phone to the mac to transfer data?
theres no infrared port in my mac and theres no bluetooth in my mobile. could i just buy any f500i usb datacable of ebay and things will work, or do i need a driver?
or is there any usb-infrared adapters you know of?
thanks for your ideas,
dual |

You have mucho problemos my friend. I think, and maybe JoolsG4 can correct me, that you will need a phone with BT. There are very few or no USB drivers for the Mac, as it uses USB differently that Windoze. You can buy a IR port as well as a serial port I think as well.

Hi Sapparobaby.
My phone and mac connect perfectly when it comes to sycing but not when used as a modem. The bluetooth becomes active on phone and mac but phone will not connect to wap. it connects to wap normally on it's own but not when it's needed as a modem.
I have tried everything but there's obviously a glitch somewhere.
Darn.
