how do i use my cell phone as a modem for my computer?

Question

i am trying to dial-up on the internet using my cell phone and a bluetooth dongle. I keep getting errors stating that the modem or other connecting device is busy or not configured properly, or one that says cannot connect to server after trying to dial with the phone. i can go to modem properties and query the bluetooth and it works.

Answer 1

People that I know who use cell phome modems bought a modem/cell phone PMCIA card from their cell phone company. Not all cell phones are compatible with modems. Maybe some one who has done this successfully with poist an answer.

Answer 2

this is what you need to do

Setup Blue tooth on phone and computer ( install drivers)
setup an internet account with your service provider (Phone)
setup Bluetooth modem on computer (phone) it is more complicated than it seem, but easy when you know how

plus very expensive

Answer 3

It depends what type of phone you have and your wireless service provider. I have an LG CU500 (Cingular) and i use it as a bluetooth modem

Answer 4

you need the data link cable for you cell phone, is the only way I know how to do that.

Some phones have one, others dont.
But you need to make the call with cell phone physically connected to the computer

P.S. Rhino man, no it wouldnt if he had unlimited nights and weekends
