Cab installer to enable BT DUN support in the Q

[quebert]

I was on the phone with a Rep, he told me it's not that Verizon doesn't allow teathering, they don't support it on devices they don't offer it on. Because they can't guarentee the quality or support it. I really asked a lot of qustions about it, because I know they have a TOS about tethering, but he kept insisting I could use my Q as a modem if I had a program that enabled DUN on it. I'm going to use it, but for nothing more then some basic IM'ing, I know they can see when you're teathering, even if you're just idle online, a PC is constantly sending/receving data so the bandwidth will be obvious. I hope they don't can me for light usage. Especially since the Rep assured me it's fine as long as I don't want their support

I got the tethering working no problem, but I keep getting disconnected. The error message says it is due to inactivity on the other end.

I try to dial the number and it says that i have entered a wrong code. Any ideas?

Yes. It was disabled by Verizon. They want you to pay $15/month to use that feature.

I had this working great but I just upgraded my phone with the latest software from Motorola. This upgrade resets everything, after the reset I noticed DUN was already enabled ... I paired the bluetooth but when I dial #777 it is demanding a username/password?

any thoughts?

thanks

I found this on their site. The Treo 700p is the only PDA/Smartphone that allows teathering.

This worked great a couple weeks ago. Last night I installed the latest Q op system and now I can't get it to work. I re-installed the CAB, etc, but when I try the ##.... I just get a verizon error message.

Any thoughts?

bump... any updates on whether verizon can stop BT tethering?? Are we forced with the new firmware to pay verizon more money???

The DUN package only works on the original firmware. With the revised firmware you either pay vzw $15/mo or buy pdanet for $30.
