Rew · 2006-07-12 13:11:44

I want to use my Voda 3g hand set as a 3g modem on my latop. I have it setup for GPRS already and that works grand. Anyone doen this and know the connection settings? Handset is a Blackberry 8707v but should be the same for any 3G handset.

May as well answer my own question:

Install latest BB software on the laptop. it sets up the modem for you. Add this under the advanced tab of the modem

+cgdcont=1,"IP","isp.vodafone.ie"

Create a new dial up connection that uses the modem. Put vodafone and the user and pass and *99***1# as the number. When you go to dial make sure that the blackberry desktop is running wont work otherwise.
