Reliance NetConnect on a Mac

Lot of posts related to Mac lately! Today, I wanted to get online from home and thought of hooking up my Reliance phone via the data cable. The rconnect software works well on Windows and Linux, but I was not sure about Mac. So I plugged one end of the cable into the phone and the other on the USB port of the Mac. Went to System Preferences -> Network and it told me that the system has detected the LG CDMA USB Modem and I should configure it!

I tried it out, but the default modem driver did not work. So I took my pick and selected an “au CDMA” driver. And to my surprise, it worked!

564

The dial up settings are simple:

  • The number to dial is #777
  • Username and password are your mobile phone number
566

Good to be connected this way. Though the speed is not high, it’s workable. The main advantage is I can take it almost anywhere in the country and still be connected!

    […] permalink Reliance is okay. I use to get around 100kbsp speeds in Manali and in Delhi it was faster. They dont come with Mac drivers and either you have to dowlnoad one from the net (tata and releiance use the same Huwaie model) or refer to the post. I cant find the site whr u can download the driver but I have it with me and can send via email. Reliance NetConnect on a Mac at Entrepreneur Geek […]

    […] which would not require me to stuff up my Mac with Windows – and to my delight I discovered this comment that offered up the driver for the Mac. And it works just fine. Thank you […]
