USE YOUR MOBILE PHONE AS A MODEM

Ever wanted to surf the net but didn't have a modem on your computer? You don't really need a modem to be able to surf the net, you can simply use your cell phone as a modem. HOW? This short tutorial will teach how to set your phone as a modem connected to your computer/laptop.

Frist is frist.
1.You need a cell phone.

2.It has to have gprs and it must be modem enabled

3.You need a means of connection from your cell phone to your computer or laptop (infra-red, bluetooth or usb cable)

4.You need a dialup connection

5.You need to know and change your proxey settings

This is how to go about it:


Step 1:Take your gprs enabled cell phone and connect it to your computer or laptop using either buletooth,infered or a usb cable.

Step 2:Create a dial up connection.Go into yor control panel, then into internet options.Then go to connections and add.Create a dial up connection and when it asks for a phone number type in *99#

Step 3:On your new dialup connection add the same proxy address you have on your gprs in your cell phone.

Step 4:Now on your control panel there should be something called modem options (If your 's doesn't have you'll have to search your computer for an option that allows you to change the acess point name or also known as the APN) here you must change the APN to w£ver your APN is on yor gprs in your phone.

Step 5:Go to start menu and connect,then connect to your dial up (make sure your cell phone is connected to your computer or laptop)

Step 6:Start your browser (internet exploxer,opera etc) and start surfing the net.

Note that every cell phone has it's own speed for example 3g phones can reach up to speed's of 48 kb/s.

I've tried to make this tutorial as simple and as easy to follow as possible.

Hope It help's?

THANK YOU!
