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.

Once you create a modem connection to the Bluetooth phone, you can reuse it whenever you want to use the phone as a modem. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and visible mode is enabled on both your device and the phone, and that the two are within close range.

Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC device has no integrated phone capability.

To use a Bluetooth phone as a modem for your device

1.On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.

2.Tap Add a new modem connection.
