Use another Bluetooth phone as a modem

You can use another phone that has Bluetooth as a modem for your device to browse the Internet or to transfer other information.

To do this, create a Bluetooth modem connection on your device and then send information to the phone by using Bluetooth. The phone relays the information over the mobile phone network and then sends back to your device any information that you had requested over the connection.
