Question treo as a modem

Hello!

One of the reasons im buying a treo is to use it as a modem. Is it plug and play? (connect it to the laptop and wala) ,or, Do I have to pay extra for modem system? ,or, Is there a sofware available to get free access to the internet?


Thanks!

Sprint has a phone as a modem (PAM) plan you can opt for.

There are a few out there...PDANet and USBModem are popular. You can download a trial version of PDANet here in the ET software section.

I use the 650 via bluetooth for my Mac all of the time, not as fast as Highspeed, but faster than dial up. Works great!

there is some tether mode hak being discussed over at treocentral.com which if you can't spend the money u might want to look into but doesn't work that well.

I recommend USBmodem cuase u get free upgrades(if needed) and is I think a little cheaper.

Default Software for free internet access on laptop

I have used PDANet for laptop access. For a one-time charge-minimal $20 or $30-your Treo via the hotsynce cable (I still have a 600) makes your laptop wireless. check their website for the 700P and 700W apps. Yes, the name is odd, but the website is: www.junefabrics.com/pdanet

PdaNet fan myself! It works great! Like the above poster said, faster than dial up. Was with a group one time in a parking lot and we got to talking about a trip we were going to take. I jerked the laptop out of the jeep, dropped it on the hood, and whipped out my Treo. One them said, "No Way" in about 3 minutes, we had mapquest up looking at time/distance/etc . . . I haven't tried to other one . . USBmodem . .

Default How do you get PDAnet on Mac

I'm new to the mac....and tried to install the pdanet for windows mobil but have not been able to access it. How do you download the software? I know I'll have to connect using bluetooth but not sure how to do that either. But need to get the software on the laptop first....running Mac OS X Version 10.4.9
