Lg Lxu 800 - Mac

[Nimbuz 0]

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase LG LXU 800 or EC 121 device for CDMA 1x Internet connection.

- Can someone please confirm if there are Mac (Leopard 10.5.6) drivers available for either of the two? I prefer LG.

- Will I be able to Call/SMS from my Mac?

I'd appreciate any help. Many thanks.

Mac driver is available for Huawei EC 321 but I don't think its available for LG LXU 800.

Yes, the dialer software will have option for both calls and SMS

There are Mac drivers available. I downloaded the Drivers package (.zip) from the Reliance website and it contains LXU800_V10.5.mpkg. I'm pretty sure it should also work for 10.5.6, but I just want to confirm if I can also make/receive calls and SMS? Can someone please confirm?

I'll get the device in a couple of hours anyway, so I'll update this post in any case.

Does it have an executable file or does it have only driver related files?

The package (.mpkg) is for drivers only. Device was detected and drivers installed fine, I still haven't connected though as my account isn't active yet.

I really wish I could call and SMS as well, is it possible at all?

Thanks!

Do you have to use the native dialer in Mac for connecting?

Yes, native dialer.

Update: I'm connected through LG LXU 800 right now. So yes, connection works, but I still haven't figured how I could CALL/SMS from it on a Mac.
