I' planning to buy a Samsung J700 mobile phone and I want to use my PC's internet connection on it. I have tried searching the net but most of the tutorials for using PC's internet are for symbian phones only. Do you know if its possible to do it with Samsung j700?? If not then please recommend a phone in the same price range which has this capability.
Answer Are you wanting to use your phone as a modem for your computer so that you can access the internet? If so, then you need to know that it's not just about the phone, it's about your wireless carrier. You have to hae service with a carrier who supports tethering a cell phone to use as a modem. There aren't too many that allow this. Sprint does for many phones. All of the other carriers allow tethering only with certain data devices (BlackBerrys, PDAs) and most charge extra for this (on top of the data plan, there is an additional fee for tethering). So, basically, it's not really what it seems. Many carriers sell aircards (also called PC cards) that allow you to tether. Those unlimited plans run between $40.00 and $60.00 a month. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
