Verizon XV6600 Bluetooth Dialup
So Verizon sent me a new handset after all of the freezing up problems I have been having. I have had it for one day and it hasn’t locked up yet. Since I had a new phone and a new laptop I had to re-tether the phone to the laptop and try to get online again with it.
This post is coming to you from the Emergency Room at the Cartersville Hospital. They have Wi-Fi here, but it has a WEP key and thought it a tad bit irresponsible to attempt to get online through it in a place where peoples lives could hang in the balance.
Why am I at the Emergency room? Well the wife cut her finger. But hey, gave me a reason to try my bluetooth access through the phone. Here is how you set it up for a Mac running Tiger.
1. Enable Bluetooth on phone and computer.
2. Make sure Dialup Networking Server service is enabled on the phone.
3. In computer setup new bluetooth devices and when it asks for device type select “Any Device” Follow on screen tethering instructions.
4. Phone should show up after a few minutes.
5. Open up “Internet Connect” and select “Bluetooth”.
6. Define a new connection to phone number #777, user tendigitphone@vzw3g.com and password is vzw.
7. Start the connection, you will have to accept it on the phone.
8. You should be able to get online.
