Sumit came across MacnCell, trying to figure out how to tether his Sprint phone with his Mac to use as a wireless modem:

Hey there. I did a google search and ran across your very awesome article on connecting to the Internet via a Bluetooth phone. I’ve noticed this option in the Bluetooth setup and decided to give it a try with my new Sprint phone since I have an unlimited data plan.

Of course I got stuck when it asked for which modem script to use and the user/password options of course. I found your page showing instructions for ATT/T-Mobile phones. I was wondering, do you know what settings are needed for Sprint phones?

Thanks Sumit

Thanks for the email, Sumit. In looking up the info for your question, I found this page on Smart Device Central which may have shed some light on the problem.

Specifically, here they suggest that you use these settings:

Sprint:
Phone Number: #777
Username: [blank]
Password: [blank]

Has anyone else had any luck with these settings? If so, with what phone and how did you do it? Please leave a comment below and share your experience.
