JI, are you sure you need any software for Snow Leopard? I did not install anything, it just worked, on my local mobile provider — I typed in the config data and worked fine (with mu current data card, Novatel Wireless).

Aleksandar,
I tried several times on 2 different Macs with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) Mac OS X, but failed to install the T-Mobile software (error message at the end).
Any idea about how to solve this?
Regards

[…] samo Huawei E220 USB modem, koji se najbolje može opisati kao sapunče. Isti modem sam koristio na T-Mobile mreži u Londonu. Kada se koristi na Windowsu, to je radilo fantastično. Na Macu, to je bio užas. Em što sam […]

Thanks, they must have listened to you as now they have the drivers on their website and I found them and it seems to be working (not in my house though which seems to be tech dead spot) — But the thing they didn’t tell me was the thing I found on you blog the telephone number!
Thanks again — they could do with loking in to how people actually use these thing not spending shed loads of cash on technical authors who don’t actually use the kit in the real world.
OK after typing this I had to turn on my wireless network to actually send this comment. But I have high hopes out there in work world tomorrow

In the meantime, on the same LastMile I linked, T-Mobile offers connection suite that does everything automatically — Launch2Net.

I tried it recently (went again to UK for two weeks) and it works just fine, similar to the way I remember it did on Windows.

Followed your instructions and it worked like a dream — 2 minutes and my MacBook Air was on-line on 10.5.2 (Latest Leopard version). I ran several YouTube videos and they download fast enough that they play continuous with no breaks.

It also works if you take the sim out and put it in a decent 3G phone with a OSX supported bluetooth modem (I use a Nokia N93 but most Nokias, Motorola’s and Sony Ericssons work). This is better as the phone just sits in my laptop bag (truely wireless) and has its own battery so it does not draw power from the MacBook, which means I can be on-line for longer.

Still, now I have the ugly USB modem working, I will keep it in my bag in case the Nokia battery goes flat any time.

I don’t use MAC, I have a 3G USB modem, mines from 3 but they are all the same model with a different name on.
Try getting it to run on a domain in Windows 2003 — Impossible!
It is possible to make AOL 5 connect to it if it hasn’t used all of your com ports already, thus when I have managed to actually use the peice of crap and all me bandwidth, I can connect to my mothers AOL, but it didn’t actually regognise the AOL number, hmmmmmm.…

This page was useful though, coz I know someone with a mac who can’t get one of these working. Cool, all I did was type 3G USB Modem is Sh** into google, and I found this.

Well…yes. :)

If a good programmer is author, it’s ok. If it’s some “will-code-for-food” type, then Heaven help you.
There’s a Mac-switch post forthcoming on this blog, and as usual I’ll be brutal. ;)

So, real advertisement is:

“It just works … but only if provider (of hardware / software / drivers ) is Apple”? ;-)

I had to, sorry :-)

Windows fan :-)
