Re: USBModem + Centro + SERO + PHS300 = wireless bliss

I tried for half a day yesterday to get this to work using the same configuration. It works fine tethered to my laptop using USBmodem. Do you have it working with the built-in DUN enabled? Can you share the setting you are using on the PHS300?

There are also different hardware versions of the PHS300. I have version 2.0. I wondering if that could make a difference.

Be aware if you purchased a Beza money clamp from their website prior to October 1, 2011 and have a problem, the warranty information on the present website may not be honored. I encountered a problem with a money clamp that was purchased via their website prior to October 1, 2011 and was advised by the previous licensee that I could purchase another one for 50% off the retail price if I did not have the original receipt.

When I tried to purchase a new money clamp, I was advised that the offer that was originally offered to me would not be honored as it was made by the previous licensee who was no longer in business. Unfortunately, the warranty information published on the www.moneyclamp.com website does not disclose that no warranties will be honored on money clamps purchased from the previous licensee.

Did you ever get this working without PAM? I have USB Modem and want to use this same setup.

A family member gave me the Geneva for a birthday and the thing last a month. One of the folding parts snapped off. Never got used to how bulky it was in my pocket so I'm not missing it.

Thanks for the comment and glad I could help. I still have mine and keep the $25 SERO plan just for this purpose. I know there are new gadgets coming to my area (clearwire.com) that may give my hack a run for its money, but until then, i'll keep my current setup.

Even after almost two years, still a great tip for me, thank you. My kids gave me an ipod touch for my birthday so I was looking for a wifi solution that incorporated my Centro's data plan. This was, indeed, "wireless bliss."

I didn't do any updates to the firmware so it's what came with it (about a year ago). As for the USBmodem version, my Centro froze this weekend so I can't even power up. Yes, I set the user/password in the WAN settings.

What's your PHS300 Firmware version and USBmodem version? Didi you set the PPP user name and password in the PHS300's WAN setting? Thanks!

Hey, can you fix the amazon link? I suspect it's relying on a firefox shortcut of yours...

This is really neat because it is so thin; you can't even tell its in your pocket. I have had mine for about 6 months and it just broke. One of the lips that flip cracked right off. I had the black matte... What do I do now?
