Sometimes there is no other way to access the Internet, except to use a mobile phone. And here you have several applications. Next, the question will be discussed how to use the phone as a modem in connection with a tablet computer. It is important to note that this can be done in conjunction with a laptop or desktop computer. When using any version of the Windows operating system, the setup procedure will be approximately the same.
How to use your phone as a modem
To begin with, it is worth saying that such a way to access the Internet is quite an expensive pleasure, while the speed is not so great, and even rather rather small. You can resort to this option only if you simply have no other choice. In this case, you can perform the most primitive tasks on the network: open pages, carry out correspondence with interlocutors. You will not be able to download significant amounts of data, such as music or videos. So, let's figure out how to use the phone as a modem?
You will need the device itself, a USB cable to connect to the computer. It will be easier for you to create a connection for the tablet, because if the Android operating system version 2.2 or more is installed in it, it has a built-in function to work as a Wi-fi router, and Wi-fi is supported on most computers.
Next, you can consider the option of using terminals from different manufacturers. Let's start with Nokia phones. To use it, you should install Nokia PC Suite on your computer. I usually ship it with the device, so the disk should be in the box. Naturally, you need a cable to connect the computer to the device. Since access to the network will be implemented using a telephone, the GPRS function must be enabled in it. Using the installed program, it is necessary to enable “Internet connections” in it. Naturally, quality and connection to the network, which depends on the region and time of day, should be considered as another significant factor. Some telecom operators work better indoors, while others show poor results.
You can use a Samsung phone as a modem, and the method for this is very unusual. You must connect the phone to the computer, and you must first install the drivers for the phone. After connecting the cable and phone, you need to enter the device manager, and then enter the modem properties. There you will have to sign additional network parameters, and in order to determine them, you should contact the technical support of the operator. As before, you will need to create a modem connection. If you once set up dial up, then you know how to do it all.
How to use your phone as a modem via Bluetooth
Many modern devices have a Bluetooth module, in this case, it must also be installed in your computer. If the adapter is installed correctly, a new device will appear on the computer in the control area. You must enable Bluetooth in your phone’s settings, and then add the device. The setup wizard will show you the steps you need. If you follow the prompts of the program, then you can easily add the phone to the devices.
After it is connected to the computer, the operating system will detect new devices and install the required software. However, you may need a software disc that comes with the device, or you can download them from the manufacturer’s website. Using Bluetooth, the Bluetooth adapter app itself will add a new modem to the operating system. And in the end, you will need to create a remote connection.
Now you know how to configure the phone as a modem.
