connect laptop with mobile phone
Jan 30th, 2006 at 11:52am
 
Hi,
  I am looking to get internet access with my laptop using a mobile phone.

  I have inclusive minutes x-net all week-end with the orange network,i would like to know if any internet providers let you connect using a geographical number with a mobile phone.

  I understand most providers need caller I.D

  If there are any providers which do not require caller I.D and also give you an access number which does not use 0800 0845 or 0808 i would be interested to know about them.

  I know i am probably askin the impossible,but i would be able to access the internet with my inclusive minutes rather than pay seperately.

        Thanks in advance,even if it is a tall order  Roll Eyes

We have dealt with this a few times in the past. If you cannect to one of the few ISP's for whom we still have the Geographical number in the database, then you need to set up a PAYG account with them. See the thread Land lines for ISPs for details.

A bluetooth connection between phone & laptop is better than the Infra-red one. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the speed was much higher. You will still be restricted by your phone's modem which could be as low as 9600bps, but on more recent phones has increased to 14.4kbps, so if you're thinking of doing serious browsing, FORGET IT !!

Give us some more details if you want any further assistance as someone else has undoubtedly tried this before & will share their findings with you.
