I’ll show you how you can tether or connect your laptop or computer to your Nokia phone for internet connection via bluetooth. This is useful for accessing the internet on your Mac if there are no accessible WiFis in your area. Using these instructions, I was able to write a blog post on a highway during a road trip while connected to my Nokia N95. Thanks to Jonathan Greene for pointing me to the right direction.

First, you need to download the corresponding Modem Scripts from Ross Barkman. These are just files you need to copy to a folder in your computer. More details on that shortly. I downloaded the script that included EDGE because I have T-Mobile USA and my current Nokia N95 cannot use 3G here in the United States.

Now, copy the files into Library:Modem Scripts.

Then head to Network Preferences and select Bluetooth from the second drop down menu. In the Service Provider, put something descriptive like Mobile. Add the Access Point Name (APN) by your network provider as your phone number. Then enter the username and password. As a T-Mobile USA subsciber, I enter internet2.voicestream.com as my telephone number, and left the username and password empty.

In the Bluetooth Mode tab, pick the modem that you downloaded from above. I chose Nokia 3G CID1 script. Disable error correction and uncheck the wait for dial tone setting. Check the Show modem status in menu bar so you can connect to the modem quickly.

Also make sure that under the TCP/IP tab, Using PPP is selected.

That’s it! Hit Apply Now.

To connect to the internet, now all you have to do is click the phone icone on your top right corner and press connect.

Now you can blog during long commutes on the train, on a passenger seat on a long road trip, or in a hotel without wifi connection!
