Three ZTE MF627 Dongle

I called the 3comm help line and found them very useful, so that is an option if you cannot find the solution here.

So you mean that they could provide a solution for Snow Leopard users? How did they do that?

Sorry it was not 3 comm is was the mobile network 3. In my case with a different modem, huawai, they explained that I needed Rosetta installed and that I needed a particular advanced setting

Ok! Understood. Did you try this on Snow Leopard? ( what version ) or only on version 10.4.6 as it says you have?

( we also installed rosetta, altough i dont know exactly what configurations you mean in the advanced settings, is it maybe something you could post? )

thank you very much.. it would be wonderful if this could work.. i am in sweden.. and she is in uk.. so it has to be done from a distance.. tricky.. but not impossible.. ( i hope )

yes, it is the latest version of Snow Leopard (have just updated my details). The advanced setting was to ignore dial tone for the Huawiai modem. However for yours, (which I also use), it is wait for dial tone. Good luck Phil

model is other, modem is 3 connect setup script (from the drop down box) in advanced (or similar)

Hi!

Problem now solved.

Action taken.

1. Erase both installed options, as described in this thread
2. install the Telstrapackage
3. Run setup assistant ( works )
4. change only the number to *99# in preferences on the 3Connect modem
5. Press connect button in the 3connect application

Works! internet connection established. Not a very fast one, but it sure works.

Thanks all!

nice one, thanks everyone for the fix 🙂

I uninstall the existing 3connect software (maybe optional step), installed the above driver and then installed the 3Connect ZTEMF627_Mac_r66Installer from the downloads site and have a working dongle.

Hey guys. I have a ZTE MF626 , and it seems to work well on my mac (lets me navigate). The thing is that it doesn't let me stay online in MSN, or talk in Skype, which is pretty weird. I didn't have this problem before snow leopard. Does anyone have an idea of what's happening ?
This doesn't happen when I'm using the internet of my school.

This dosen't work for me it just can't find the device when trying to install. Am I missing something?

HELP !

I tried the above info, downloaded & installed the Telstra driver package but still no good, getting the same error "could not detect device".

Also could not connect through network preferences as when trying to set up an new connection, the ZTE usb modem is not apprearing anywhere as an available interface option (or any phone modem for that matter)

Any ideas anyone? please help!

So frustrating, I have spent hours trying to get this working and I just want it sorted!

Hi,

some advise please!


do you know if the ZTE MF636 will work on snow leopard (10.6.2)?
I still don't understand what has to be installed and how.
Is there a specific driver that has to be installed for SL? Is this how OS X recognize the stick as a modem?
Then there should be a "connection manager" or some sort of app to get connected to Movistar mobile Internet? Is this app mandatory or I can connect using network preferences for dialing?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

by the way my carrier is Movistar Argentina.

best,
