Verizon Wireless has recently started supporting Mac internet access
via its cell phones with a USB data cable (called Mobile Office kit)
or high speed connections with a specific (Kyocera) PCMCIA card. Well
it turns out they don't have any driver for the Macs for the USB
connection and will only support the expensive PCMCIA high-speed
connection. The Quick to Net USB solution allows many people like
myself to connect after 9 and weekends for free with no airtime
charges. PCers get this service. The only reason it doesn't work on my
Lombard is that it won't recognize the phone as a modem correctly. I
attempted to use the OS X10.3.2 built-in drivers and got the phone to
connect with the 3Com Impact Analog 14.4 driver but the verification
(username and password) fails. Has anyone succeded with connecting a
Samsung a650 cell phone to Verizons ISP service? Any driver
suggestions or otherwise?
Ever heard of Yahoo Groups? Pretty much everything you need to know
about should be here. It's called Mac cell phones . You maybe able to
read it without joining but you won't be able to ask questions nor see
the available software . It's free to join so no big deal. I love my
Samsung a650 great small non-camera phone. The group also has info on
which USB data cable to buy for cheap rather then spending big bucks at
Verizon. Let me know how it works . I've been meaning to give it a try
but haven't yet. Will S
PS you can also upload ring tones with the data cable for free.
