Please don't turn this into a Mac vs PC argument :rolleyes: ;)

A friend has moved to Spain, doesn't have a phone line yet.

He needs internet access and would like to be able to connect whereever he is, he is a photographer so the ability to send pictures from anywhere is required.

Anyone know of any providers that supply mac compatible pcm/cia cards or any comments on bluetooth phones gratefully received.
Mac is running 9.1 or 9.2. Could upgrade to OSX is required...

Rich,

Forget it macs are rubbish cant do anything useful on them, PCs are *much* better LOL :D

As far as I know, all Sony Ericsson phones work perfectly with the Mac and GRPS. My T610 can be used as a modem through OSX. OSX automatically registers the phone as a Bluetooth Modem when I get near it, if I want to switch to that kind of connection I just ask it to.

I imagine it will be the same for the Bluetooth enabled Nokias too, as there are Nokia icons in iSync. Not sure about OS9 Classic, but I would recommend an uprgade anyhow. Hope this helps.

Nice to see the SN Mac collective all helping out :)

Whilst I've not tried OS X + Bluetooth + GPRS, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant looks to make it super easy. SE Bluetooth phones are very simple to set up (I've used a T68, T68i and a Z600).

Most network providers have a Windows Dial-Up Networking profile for download on their site. Grab it then open in a text editor and just punch the relevant settings into Internet Connect.

My only experience of mobile data was an iBook, a USB to Serial adaptor and a Nokia 6210 with a data cable. 9.6kbps of pure dial-up goodness :rolleyes:

Good luck!
