9.7 Using Your Phone as a Modem
(Internet Sharing)
If you do not have Internet access on your desktop or notebook
computer, you can connect your computer to the Internet by using
your phone’s data connection such as GPRS/3G. You can connect via
USB or Bluetooth.
Before you proceed
Make sure your phone has a SIM card installed, and your phone
has a GPRS/3G or dial-up modem connection. For more
information about setting up these connections, see “GPRS/3G”
and “Dial-up” in this chapter.
To set up your phone as a USB modem, you must first install
Windows Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync version
4.5 or later on the computer.
To use a Bluetooth connection, make sure your computer has
built-in Bluetooth capability. If your computer does not have
Bluetooth, you can connect and use a Bluetooth adapter or
dongle.
Setting up your phone as a USB modem
Connect the phone to your desktop or notebook computer using
the USB sync cable.
When the Connect to PC screen appears, select Internet Sharing,
and then tap Done.
The Internet Sharing screen then opens and automatically
connects your computer to the Internet using your phone.
