Since I was unable to connect to the internet while at Telok Kemang last few week, I now purely understand why most of my friend such Azrai has shift to 3G handphone. Thus, a sony ericsson K800i is a replacement for my old sony ericsson T610.

Thanks to the techie guy Syed Zulazri that helps me a lot in choosing which hp that suit me, now here are some new lesson on how to connect 3G if you are a mac user.

1) 3G Package

You have to make sure that first, your phone support 3G and second, you subscribe to the 3G package that your network provider offered. For Maxis subscriber, below are the printscreen packages from Maxis 3G portal.

2) Phone Setting

If you never done it before, you need to activate your 3G. Here are the link to the website. Please click on the 3G Phone Configuration. A blue pop up will appear. Remember to activate your 3G services first by keying in *136# and press CALL/SEND. You then need to proceed with the step inside. If you having problem or uncertainty, just ask the Maxis guy at any Maxis centre and they will help you to setup.

3) iBook

Turn on your Bluetooth. First, Set up Bluetooth Device.

Select Mobile Phone. Please make sure that your handphone is “discoverable”. Then, select your mobile phone.

You then need to pair your iBook with your mobile phone. You need to insert the number appear on the screen into your phone.

Next, a message from your iBook to your phone regarding the using phone as a modem will appear, click allow.

You will then need to insert the network provider username and password. For maxis subscriber,

the login name is : maxis
password is : wap
GPRS CID String : *99#
Modem Script : choose which one with the bigger number as Syed said to me, it might be the speed connection

Proceed and you have now successfully paired your iBook to your phone.

To recheck your setting, open Bluetooth Preferences,

click on Devices and you will see you handphone setting & services.

4) Connect to the internet

Make sure both of your Bluetooth phone and iBook turn on. Open internet connection.

Click on the Bluetooth icon.

Select your configuration setting and click connect. Your iBook will ask your phone to be a modem, click allow and walla.

Happy surfing!

5) Setting From Maxis Website

You can call a discrimination to a MAC user since most of the content in website nowdays support only PC user, especially in Malaysia. Even-though that I really understand the market demand is PC but please, don’t forget the minorities. I felt like orang asli you know, even-though I’m using iBook. Anyway, if you looking on how to connect your iBook to the internet via 3G from the maxis 3G portal, forget about it. I have emailed to them but there is no response until today.

So you need no hassle to online even inside the jamban! Congratulations!
