The following tutorial is geared towards OSX users with a Sprint EV-Do capable handset and bluetooth enabled computer(s). Windows users might want to reference my previous write-up: How-To: Pair your EV-DO ready Samsung A920 with Windows 2000 / XP.

The first thing that needs to be done is to verify that your handset and account is EV-Do ready. The second is that both the handset and computer are bluetooth enabled. For the following tutorial I used my Samsung A920 and a dear friends iBook running OSX 10.4 Tiger (Rawr).

First things first. We need to pair the two devices to communicate with each other. Fortunately, Apple provides its users with a personal assistant to take care of the headaches. Pairing the two devices is usually as simple as scooping up a handful of Jello with a shovel. You just can’t mess this one up. Utilize the Bluetooth manager: System Preferences > Bluetooth > Add new device. Follow the onscreen prompts to verify and pair your devices. Fortunately, OSX 10.4 ships with the necessary Sprint PCS Modem drivers.

Once the devices are able to paired, open ‘Connections Manager’. There isn’t much info needed to enter on this step. Configuration can be left to ‘Main Number’. The only essential information to enter is ‘#777′ for the Telephone number. This number is the code necessary to access the Sprint network.

Towards the bottom the ‘Connections Manager’ window, there is a ‘Connect’ button. Assuming your devices are paired properly and ‘#777′ is entered for ‘Telephone’, OSX will pair the two devices allowing you to access the net without the constraints of the nearest Wi-fi network.
