What if you dont have 3G?
We’ll here’s my story. I have a laptop in a very remote place. Internet cafe is so expensive plus virus (don’t want to plug my usb there). I connected my laptop to my old motorola rokr and used it as phone modem. It’s not as fast a 3G but was able to chat, check facebook and send reports.

It amazes me that you’re able to share it with 6 computers! Good job.

@Hell_Yeah:
1] install Nokia pc suite
2] make sure “3G” is indicated under the signal bar on your N70. if not try to get a good signal first. or if you haven’t done it yet , change the Network Mode in Network Settings to “Dual mode” instead of “GSM”
3] connect your N70 to your pc. USB cable is recommended
4] open pc suite and click the button Connect to the Internet
5] open your web browser (firefox, IE etc) and start browsing

Bangus how were you able to use your N70 to connect to GPRS?

I have the same phone (Nokia N70) and i want to use it on my laptop if I’m not at home. Hope you can help me. Thanks!

haha.. yeah!

used to connect my pc thru smart 3G before.. best alternative when no wifi, no dial-up, no dsl etc. must have a good 3G reception in your place though! and secure that USB cable! or you’ll pay 10 petot everytime you get disconnected..

came across your site coz i’m looking for a way to utilize the 3G function of my lenovo Y310. any ideas?

just a tip.. when downloading from a website.. always use download accelerators because the default downloader of the browser is pretty slow when using 3g..

3g saved my day too when i reformat my pc then i forgot to download antivirus. my dial up is pretty slow and i need it fast. so there..

[...] Last night, I made a 3G data call for the laptop for the first time. I was at a place with no broadband and a noisy phone line – dialup is only 28.8Kb/s or so. For casual use, the Smart 3G 10 pesos/30 minutes plan is not bad. [...]

bangus:
The 900KB+ is the USB cable speed.

For the actual speed, you need to look in the Connection Manager (for S60 phones).

joelski:
I couldn’t get the Bluetooth DUN (Dialup networking) to go up, either. I’m using IVT Bluesoleil for the Bluetooth stack.

budda:
For Nokia phones, easiest is to use the USB cable. On Windows, just plug it in and use “Connnct to the Internet” from the PC suite. Everything is automatic from there.

[...] My plan is to buy a 3G enabled phone that could act as the modem for my the computer at the boarding house. I first read this in Pinoy Tech Blog. Smart Communications offer P 10 for every 30 minutes of surfing. But it seems that I have to scrap this plan because Smart now charges an additional P 15 to convert files into HTML. I guess I have to content myself on renting. [...]
