Incredible 2 with Mac PdaNet

[Scott Lloyd Sherman]

OK, I have purchased the professional version of PdaNet and can't get my MacBook Pro to have internet access inspite of hours of trying both BlueTooth and PdaNet. Messages are that I am not tethered. I believe that Verizon has found a way to prevent me from using this application to avoid paying more money into their bloated coffers. Is there a way to get around Verizon with respect to using Incredible 2 as a method to use computer on internet?

Before using Free Wireless Tether I was tethering my phone with my MacBook using PDANet. It took some trial and error to get things going.. but it eventually worked. I wasnt able to get Bluetooth paired but i was successful pairing with a USB Cable. Welcome to AC... Enjoy the forums..

I have paid for version 3. Should I give it up and just go for the free version of tethering? I have consumed hours trying to get PdaNet working. So far nothing!

I would, if your phones rooted.

Heh CyberWarrior. Thanks. Got it up and running by tethering and then re Installing Pdanet to phone. Then connection happened easily. Now my question is how come I am needing to pay Verizon for Skype calls?:-\

Its only free if your calling with Skype to someone else with Skype. Skype to a mobile number or landline and you will be charged.
Here's the breakdown chart of how Skype/Verizon bill you.. scroll down the page and you will see a chart: Calling Features: Skype mobile™
