Using GPRS connection of my Windows Mobile with my Mac over Bluetooth

Posted in Mac by Alpay on May 3rd, 2008

I was tinkering with the Mac, and the Windows Mobile Phone to somehow -by chance- get GPRS over Bluetooth running.

I am not sure how or why it worked, but it did, so let me bring together what I have done. It may someday help someone:

  1. Get WM scripts for Mac from Ross Barkman’s page. Put them under /Library/Modem Scripts.
  2. Pair your phone with your Mac over bluetooth.
  3. Make sure that your GPRS connection settings are correct in your phone (get in touch with your provider if necessary)
  4. Learn the dialing code for the GPRS connection - I can’t believe there is a dialing code for GPRS. Mine was *99# for Turkcell.
  5. Tinker with your Network connections so that your bluetooth device is set up.
