Can I use my phone as a modem for my laptop with its wifi?

If so, how can I do this exactly??
Windows xp professional (if that is of any help)

If your device supports mobile hotshot (which is not a modem) then you can use that.  But if you are using an 8520 you do not have that feature.

  • Can I use my jetpack as a modem for another company?

    I have internet through another company. Can I use the Jetpack as a modem for the other company? I don't want to have to buy any other equipment!!

    No, it is a Verizon-only device.  And, most likely, the other company wouldn't allow it as it would be incompatible with their services.

  • How do I use my 8300 as a modem for my laptop

    Hi all,
    I'm new to this forum. This is my first post...
    I'm trying to set up my 8300 smartphone to be used as a tethered modem for my laptop to be able to get the full internet content anywhere with in cell coverage.
    Question 1: 
    I got instructions from the 'BlackBerry HELP' icon on the phone (my question was: how do i use my device as a modem) which seemed very complete. The modem is dial-up and when I try to connect I get Error 718 (basically a timeout error). 
    Can anyone help? 
    Question 2:
    Since this uses dial-up, would I be using my cell phone minutes?
    Thank you, Lar

    first thing is to look on the forum if people have already solved your issue. In this case, the tethering subject is quite frequent. You will certainly find your answer among these discussions :

  • Can I use my blackberry as a modem for my iPad cellular?

    I'm not sure on how the iPad cellular uses its 3g functionality.
    Do I need to insert my phone sim card into the iPad everytime I want to connect to the web using the 3g network?
    or
    Can the iPad use my blackberry phone as a modem to connect to the internet?
    (my blackberry is 3g and has modem functionality)
    Thanks.

  • How can I use my Iphone 3 (or 4) for soil sampling with my Wintec G-Rays 2 GPS reciever?

    Hello, everyone. 
    I work for a company in Michigan that does a lot of soil-sampling.  (We take core samples from precisely mapped areas of fields for scientific anaylsis.)
    My goal is to use my Iphone 3 with my existing bluetooth Wintec G-Rays 2 for precise GPS mapping in apps like GISroam.  The searchable apps in the App Store appear unreliable for tethering. 
    Also:  My boss has an Iphone 4.  (Perhaps that phone be more appropriate for this application?)
    Question:  Am I thinking about doing this in the right way?  Are there apps that will make this simpler? 
    Specs for the G-Rays 2 are found below.

    If your phone is locked to AT&T in the USA, then only AT&T in the USA can unlock it - you will need to contact them about it.
    The requirements for AT&T to unlock it are here - http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=wyYI6i46IlD
    Note that requesting and processing an unlock throught AT&T is the ONLY way to officially and permanently unlock your phone.

  • TS1741 Can I use my IPhone as a moderm for my laptop?

    How can I use my IPhone as a moderm?

    If your phone plan allows it you can turn on tethering.
    Which can be found under the settings _ General _ Network
    You should see an option to Set Up Personal Hotspot
    If you don't then you have one of a few problems.
    1. Your phone company / plan does not allow tethering
    2. Your iPhone got a little stuck after the last update (happened to mine), so reset the network settings;
         Under Cellular data Network, and re add all the details.
    3. You need to add the correct details into the Cellular Data Network settings.
    Hope it helps

  • HT204053 Can I use iCloud to share data (music, photos, etc.) with my wife's apple ID as well as mine?

    My wife and I have separate Apple IDs for our phones.  Is there a way to access photos taken in each device through iCloud without having to sync each device manually.  I would like to be able to share photos without having to sync each time.

    You can share photos with your wife with iCloud's "Shared Photo Stream" option (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379), but you cannot share music files between different Apple ID's.

  • Can I use the ac charger I bought for my mini with my new nano

    Having just bought a Nano, I want to know if I can use the ac charger I bought for the mini to charge it. I don't have enough access to a pc to charge it via the USB cable.

    Here are the specs on the Apple AC converter:
    Input AC 100-240 V 50-60 HZ
    AC input 0.35A max
    Output 5V, 1A
    I'm not sure how this matches up with the specs on your charger. Maybe you could find a website for your supplier and see if they advertise the unit for Nanos?

  • Can I use my phone number in imessage for both iphone and ipad in the same chats?

    I want to use iMessage from my ipad with my phone number not with my e-mail because most of my friends have not my e-mail under my name in their phones.
    So what I want to is being able to talk in the same chat from my ipad and iphone with out showing my e-mail to the person who I'm talking with because that making the chat appears one to me but two to him.
    Thank you and sorry for bad English ;)

  • HT5569 Can I use an iPad in a short-term rental apartment with free wifi in Scandinavia?

    We are considering buying an iPad 2. We will be traveling in Scandinavia and the Baltic area for five weeks this summer, staying in short-term rental apartments that all have free wifi. Wil we be able to use an iPad in these countries: Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Latvia? If so, what kind of an electrical adapter will we need to charge it?
    Thanks!

    Wifi is the same everywhere so no issue there.
    The Apple charger is universal, It can take voltage from most countries so all you would need is a plug adapter to connect it to European outlets.
    Your best bet is a set like this, so you are prepared for wichever outlet type you encounter:

  • App. that will let me use my phone as a Router for my laptop.

    I would like to be able to hook my laptop and phone together for access to the internet.  I don't use it enought to pay the extra 30 monthly fee.  Someone said there is a app with a one time fee that will do this.  Does anyone know the name of the app and how to find it. Thx

    {edit for TOS violation}
    does have some limitations and there is a paid version.  Be sure you read the comments from people who have used the app.  The Verizon hotspot app is probably much more reliable but more expensive.
    As is mostly true in this world.... you get what you pay for.
    Good luck,

    Alright, after trying stuff for some irritating hours, I think I've got something you can use. I haven't figured out how to get it to run all the time.
    (I must be an idiot becuase I can't find where to upload this file)
    Automator application
    Run Shell Script (ignore this actions input)
    ioreg -n AppleSmartBattery -r | awk '$1~/Capacity/{c[$1]=$3} END{OFMT="%.2f%"; max=c["\"MaxCapacity\""]; print (max>0? 100*c["\"CurrentCapacity\""]/max: "?")}'
    Set Value of Variable
    Variable: new variable... (I called it Battery Life)
    Run AppleScript
    on run {input, parameters}
              if input is less than "3.00" then tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true and local volume is true)
