Help, I really want this to work and I can't figure why it does, I plug it into the usb port and it doesn't recognize the connection. help, Please. I have no clue about this so if you can help please be detailed. Thank you

There _is_ a way to do it, but I do not know exactly what you need. I think it may have been discussed on one of the forums here about 6 months ago, but I don't really remember. I'm pretty sure there's a couple of threads regarding what you need on Howard Forums.

I appreciate the help but I do not have a bluetooth enabled phone.

I am about 99% sure that you cannot use your phone as a modem on a Mac using a data cable. The only was I know of is using Bluetooth.
Are you sure that your phone is capable of being used as a modem?
Even if it is, I really don't think that it's going to work on a Mac via data cable.
What kind of phone is it anyways? 😳
Thanks
