Big picture (for safe keeping) is:
1) Firstly remove the Mobile Connect program that came with the dongle and then unplug it. Download a new set of drivers from here. (safe copy in gmail) Unzip, and install. Simples.
2) Wack the dongle back into your Mac, and wait for the green lights to stop flashing.
3) Next, open up Network Preferences and click the “+” sign in the bottom left to add a new service.
After that, select HUAWEI Mobile from the list on the left and then name your service.
After that, select HUAWEI Mobile from the list on the left and then name your service.
4) Now setup your service by entering a telephone number of *99#, and fill in the account settings as follows: Account Name – o2bb, Password – password. Then, from the Configuration drop down menu, select Mobile Broadband. After that, hit Advanced
5) In the Advanced window, select Generic as the vendor then GPRS (GSM/3G) as the model. EnterAPN as m-bb.o2.co.uk. If your not using O2, you can enter your own provider’s APN, but leave the Account name and Password blank. Leave CID as 1.
6) Click Apply and then hit the Connect button back in Network Preferences, and you should see an indication it's connected
And thats it! Hopefully your connected. Below are some APN’s for providers in the UK. Google Mobile Broadband APN’s for international ones.
- O2 - m-bb.o2.co.uk (Account Name: 02bb Password: password)
- UK 3 – three.co.uk
- UK t-mobile – general.t-mobile.uk
- Vodafone UK: APN: internet, userid/password: web, web on CHAP
- Vodafone UK prepaid: APN: pp.internet, userid/password: web, web on CHAP
- Vodafone UK pay-as-you go and topup: APN: pp.internet, userid/password: web, web on CHAP
Pah, that's nothing.
