One slight addition to your library is required to get this working, Below you will find the BlackBerry.ccl download which is required to preform this method. Also, while this has only been tested with the 9000, there should be no risk associated with attempting this with other models of BlackBerry. Rogers is the carrier used for the test for Bell please see below.

I would like to bring attention to Greg’s comments left on this post, there are as follows.
<blockquote>I just successfully did this with a BlackBerry 9630 (Tour).
The Tour in question was on the Bell Canada CDMA network and I had to make the following changes:
- Telephone number: your telephone number (w/o country code)
- Account name: the email you use on the Bell Canada website
- Password: the PIN you use for your voicemail</blockquote>
*Note for Step 5: When you add the ccl file to your modem scripts, you will now have two “Research in Motion” vendors. Remember to select the one that contains the “BlackBerry 8800″ as one of its models.
Step 1: Pair your BlackBerry to your Mac’s Bluetooth.
Step 2: Copy the unzipped BlackBerry.ccl script to your Macintosh HD>Library> Modem Scripts folder.
Step 3: Set up a new network connection by accessing Network and selecting the + button to add a new connection, enter the following.
-Interface: Bluetooth DUN
-Service Name: “Enter whatever name you like”
Step 4: Enter the following to configure the new connection.
