Steve Not being a MAC user I can only offer a broad outline and hope it helps. Maybe someone with MAC experience can delineate further.

Turn on both devices and Bluetooth(BT)
In the phone's BT manager, ensure it is set to discoverable
In the phone's programs is Wireless Modem. Set to BT
Using the MAC's BT application, attempt to discover the phone
If the phone is found, attempt to connect and specify that you would like to use the BT DUN service.
Set the phone number to #777
Under dial-string modem commands enter AT$QCMDR=3
Set User Name to your [email protected]
Set Password to: vzw
