Sprint DUN Moto Q

[wtracy1]

Wondering if anyone has had success connecting the N800 via BT to a Moto Q for Dial-up Networking on Sprint service. The devices seem to have paired OK, and I used the default Sprint connection on the N800. I activate Modem Link on the Moto Q and attempt the connection from Connection Manager on the N800, but it does not find the connection. Are there additional settings on the Q or N800 to access the Sprint network? I have a data plan with Sprint.

Wish I could get it to work too.

Okay I tried the JuneFabrics PDANet and several variations of, with and without username and password, and packetData vs DataCall.
Also I tried the PPP Options changes as recommended in the Knowen Good Phones lists. Still no ability to connect via Bluetooth.
I know this is enabled as we have this feature enabled for VPN access to work, and I can successfully connect via USB cable, before and after installing Verizons connection manager software.
Also I am seeing that when BlueTooth is enabled on the N800 it seems to be a big drain on the battery.
Also it is extremely frustration to sometimes and sometimes not get the Phone Connection in the selection list for connections.

Any more ideas?

Amazingly, I installed PDAnet and got it to work. PDAnet was a little flaky because I was evaluating without purchasing, and it kept requiring me to connect my USB back to the PC. I enabled Bluetooth DUN on the Q in PDAnet. Sprint service connected with #777 and blank user and password.

hi, what sprint plan are you using to tether your n800?

[DryLand404]

Sorry, Mine is Verizon. PDANet works wonderfully on the Q for me now after wiping out all the phone and BT pairing. re-pairing, and then manually setting up a Verizon connection with #777 and username and password with a Data Call type config. (Non Packet Call)
The plan is unlimited Data which I believe is $15 more a month.

i thought verizon unlimited data plan is 44.99 a month?

[DryLand404]

I'm told we are paying $15 extra a month per phone for Data connectivity (I never see the bill) and it is unlimited. It has yet to be cut off.

hi dryland, are you still having issues with your moto + n800?

is there a non PDANet approach?

Sprint unlimeted data plan is 15 bucks for your cell phone (at dial up speeds)

a friend of mine has no trouble connecting a phone via USB to the laptop, use DUN on the laptop and dial #777 without a username/password to get internet access. he worked that for a few years now and it still works today.

i got the same plan and tried to pair my Samsung A640 (it's a cheap non smart phone) with N800 via BT, everything works fine, phone says: "connected as data modem" "then says dialing #777" i see Rx and Tx icon business, and then i get an Error #67, Registration Failure.

i called Customer Service, they say i need to switch my plan to a 40 bucks/mo which will allow me to use the phone as a modem.

anyone out there using Sprint DUN at $15/mo without smartphones?

thanks a lot in advance
