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!
The dial up settings are simple:
- The number to dial is #777
- Username and password are your mobile phone number
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!
Hi i just went to a webwolrd and theh guy told me very rudely that the new data usb thingy does no9t work for a mac the previous 1 did but the new one does not aparently any answers?????????

Hi Nirav,
Recently I bought Nokia 6275 CDMA.
I am able to use it for internet using the Bluetooth. After reading this article…
This was a little similar to the procedure I used to configure my LG RD6130.
Thanks for putting this on internet.

Hi Guys
I have a reliance ZTE MG880 CDMA 1x usb data card which works fine on windows. I bought apple macbook pro today and was trying to get it working for this machine. I read the whole stuff here and tried to follow the instructions.
When i insert the card in the usb port and go to apple->system prefernces->network then i do not see any ZTE usb modem detected. Can anyone please help me out with this. Does the au cdma driver which people have talked aboit comes with new apple or i need to download it from somewhere?
I am very much in need to solve this problem, i would be highly thankful to you guys if any one can help me on this ASAP.
Thanks

I bought a HP Laptop and was offered a Reliance Data Card Free Of Charges. A few days later I registered my Laptop with HP and they have issued a number and was asked to contact a number in New Delhi after a few days.After a couple of weeks I called that number and was told to sent a demen draft for Rs.1,000/- being the courier charges to forward my datacard. I have done that also. Now the company where I purchased the laptop says I have made a mistake and should not have sent the draft but would have gone to a Reliance Outlet to collect my datacard after paying some 3500 to 4000 rupees which includes two months subscription.I wrote to their Sales department at Bangalore, Their Office in Cochin and to HP in United States.
Today I received a call from Chennai stating that some documents were missing with my request and to forward the same. Today I have done that also.
Now I want to know if I don’t use Reliance as a internet provider, is there any chance I can use this datacard with tata.or can be used when I am in united states.
Kindly somebody reply to me

Hi,
I recently bought a EC325 Huawei data card from Reliance and have installed the drivers as given above from the Hutch Thailand Site
I have a MAcbook 10.5.1
Initially the drivers got installed properly and i was able to see the huwaei mobile connect in my OS and at that time my connection was not activated
After activating my connection i connected it and tried but i couldnt connect
So i decided to remove the existing one and reinstall the drivers from the beginning but i am facing a problem here
I dont see the Huawei mobile connect configured when i connect my data card after installing the drivers given above successfully
Can you please let me know how to remove the drivers and reinstall them so that i can see the Huawei mobile connect when i reinstall the drivers
Please let me know if i am missing something here
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks and regards,
Sree ram
If i am not mistaking then you must be looking for a solution that can let your reliance usb modem connect to internet for Mac based machines like iMac, MacBook etc. Let me show you it works (tested)…
http://rohitpurohit.com/blog/
I got a prepaid netconnect account from Reliance and am really disgusted with it. Throughput if often much less than 1k, which is pitiful, to say the least. Although it seems that Reliance is finally supporting Macs. Anyway, when I went into their place in South Ex, they asked to borrow my modem to see if it would work on someone else’s Mac. Are there any better services out there which work with a Mac? How do companies like this stay in business when they don’t deliver the goods?
This is just the tip of the iceburg.
Once you start recieving the bills and deal with their customer support, you will realize more
I bought a reliance net connect once and my mother lost her sleep for 2 months. Every other day they will call my mother and say ” We will put you son in Jail if you dont pay whatever bill we send.” All their promises before you subscribe are mere cheatings.
They take custome voice form promising to change the plan and forget about it the moment you leave their office.
The executives are trained in how to cheat customers. Their Service Assuarance cell knows only one thing “Escalate Issues”.
They dont care about Common Sense, Laws or any guidelines.
whatever they do, you will have to pay the bills whether write or wrong.
so beware,buy reliance phone only if no other option exist
hi ,
i have a mac book 10.5 .how do i connect it using data card or usb
I want reliance netconnect cdna1x software
Thanks for the this blog. But it was not working for me.
But i could do it with some more research. thought of sharing it with you all…!
Mine is Mac – PowerBook G4 – OS X
Download this s/w
http://www.novamedia.de/download/e_demo_l2n_mac.html
install it.
go to network preferences, Network. It will say that it has detected a new huawei modem. Configure this modem.
User name and password are your modem phone number.
The phone number to dial is as usual #777
select modem tab -> NM Universal Modem.
go back to PPP tab -> Dial now
However, I think its slower than in windows. Do any of you guys have any idea to improve speed on Mac???
Thanks..!
Hi,
I bought Reliance data card EC 325 couple of days ago – i have installed and started using it successfully. But yesterday suddenly i got error like “Connection could not be established with your remote server – you need make changes in Network settings…”. I’ve double checked the datacard and it working fine, because i can make calls to mobile. I tried and check my IP address, but there is no ip found in my machine. i’m struggling to resolve this issue.
My TP configuration : Windows XP on IBM T60
your help is highly appreciated.! YOu can reply me at seenivasan_kittu@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Seeni
Another update:
I upgraded to Leopard, and my Netconnect stopped working. Looks like Apple did not include the au CDMA drivers in the latest operating system. That upset my perfectly working setup of LG 6230 Phone, connected via USB cable.
But well, I did some trial and error, and found out that Novatel CDMA driver will work for this setup now.
So anyone who’s setup stops working after upgrading to Leopard (OS X 10.5), please try Novatel.

I bought reliance data card ZTE CDMA 1x and have installed it yesterday on my laptop. I am unable to open some sites like Gmail,orkut,abnamro.co.in etc.
Anyone who can help please reply:

Hi All,
I have a Reliance USB Data card which was free with my laptop. Can I change the number?
@Ankit: That’s strange. What I can think of is that you may have a proxy for HTTPS websites. And that’s what’s causing the problem. Or may be Reliance had it! Check again and see if these sites work now.
@Ankush: I don’t think you can change the number. But you may check with Reliance customer care.

Dear Nirav,
i am looking for a driver for sync & net connect with the new Motorola W362 cdma for Reliance.
Can i expect a help from you sir.
sorry – but this isync & net connect software will be reqd. for MAC book
reliance data card dont support Mac applications as they dont provide drivers for mac OS.
I am used to connect to internet on my imac machine with my nokia E61 mobile phone having Airtel connection. Thats the best solution i could found so far… though speed is little compromising but better than nothing… 🙂
Wow, What a great source of information I stumbled upon here!!
I have a macbook intel 10.5.5.
While in Kerala last winter I purchased a Nokia cell phone. It works with bluetooth dialup modem but is too slow to support Skype, for real time free conversations world wide. I do counseling and skype does the trick! Free!
I attempted to purchase a reliance cell phone but the shop repeatedly told me the box says pc only! I paid, and argued that I knew it would work. The service rep came to me twice to try to install pc drivers in my mac!
I ended up without this faster web connect, and luckily they refunded my money.
Now it appears I can use the Reliance if I get the driver from the net, (previous urls)
The company does seem a tad scary from the previous postings. I’ve read them all. I too am pleased to see so many mac folk in India and on this site!
I am returning to Kerala for 1 year and really would like to have a satellite connection rather than dial up. Any help?
Thanks in advance…
Is anybody hve “SXC 1080 ” Driver with u pls send me the link
