Connect to internet, not via 3G, but via bluetooth network connection

I am considering buying this iphone,
and there are many options I can use to connect internet.
so can an iphone connect to internet, neither via 3G nor via wi-fi, but via bluetooth network connection?

The iPhone does not support tethering - at the present time anyway, which means using the iPhone as a modem for internet access with a computer, and the same in reverse - using a computer's internet connection to connect to the internet with the iPhone.

  • Screen-Sharing and Internet-Sharing via same network connection

    Hello out there,
    I'm using a TiBook (G4 867MHz) and a MacBook Pro 17". They are connected via a WLAN-router. Additionally the MBP is connected to the internet via an UMTS-connection established with a Merlin 870XU type PC-card.
    Network is working fine, including screen-sharing. Also the internet connection on MBP works without error. But if I activate Internet-Sharing via WLAN to get my TiBook connected to the internet, the MBP connection to the WLAN is cut off.
    Can somebody tell me what's going wrong and how to solve it?

  • E51 WiFi internet sharing via bluetooth

    I have E51 with established wifi conection to internet. Is it possible to share this internet connection with PDA (w/o wifi) via bluetooth ?

    I'm afraid not.
    You might have better luck buying a bluetooth adapter for your computer (if you don't already have one) and looking for software that will allow your computer to share its Internet access over the bluetooth connection.

  • Cannot Send Emails If Not Via Home Network

    If I am at home I can send emails via my wifi network without problem but I cannot send emails outwith my home wifi range. This is because my ISP (Orange) insist that I send outgoing emails via mail.orangehome.co.uk so I have configured my email settings accordingly.
    That outgoing setting does not allow me to send emails using the 3 Network or other wifi networks when I am away from the house
    Anybody else having this problem? It is a real PITA and reduces the effectiveness of the phone significantly.
    (A side effect of trying to send emails whilst away from my wifi network is that it screws things and any attempt to synchronise the mailbox thereafter results in an error 80072f30 until such time as I delete the message or messages in the outbox which failed to send.)
    John H.D. Tuach

    Hello Hans
    The problem I have can be explained with what has happened to me just today!
    I was sitting in the back garden and wrote two emails. (Normally my EE Brightbox router will allow me to use wifi in the garden so I thought it safe to send them.)
    Wrong!
    Because I had no wifi signal for whatever reason, the emails were sent via my network (3) and not via the EE wifi network.
    3 then attempted to send them via smtp.orangehome.co.uk (specified in my mailbox setup on my phone since EE insists I use that outgoing server) and I assume that EE then refused to accept them since they did not originate from an EE user. The phone (Lumia 920) at that point froze with the 'Sycnhronising' message static on the screen. When I went to 'email setup' I got a message to tell me that there was a problem with my email setup. Whether the main problem or not, my email password had been lost and even when re-entered, I had to switch the phone off and on to stop the  'Sycnhronising' message and get access to email.
    This was slightly different from previous situations - normally I get the numeric error message mentioned earlier. Even now that I have deleted the two emails from the outbox I still cannot use email until I delete and recreate my email account.
    I have my own email server which I would prefer to use for outgoing mail as opposed to EE and the Lumia does not offer any facility to alter outgoing ports (as far as I an see).
    Sorry if the reply is a bit wordy but I do feel that this situation deserves wider exposure as had I known earlier I would have chosen a broadband supplier who did not dictate the setting for outgoing mail server.

  • Can print via usb, but not via wireless network

    My new MacBook Pro prints to my Epson RX500 when the printer is connected via USB to the MBP. However, when the the printer is connected by USB to my desktop PC running XP, the MBP does not print to it. I can see disks and transfer files wirelessly among desktop PC, laptop PC & MBP. The MBP finds the RX500 on the network, and has a driver for it. I can set it as the Mac's default printer. When I print, say from OpenOffice or TextEdit, the dialogs seem ok. Sometimes I see the print queue icon wink in and out on the dock. But the document doesn't get printed. The desktop says the printer is shared, and I can print over the wireless network from my PC laptop running XP.
    One of the Apple troubleshooting pages suggests that I should have the same driver version on my XP desktop and my Snow Leopard MBP. I don't know how to tell what version the PC is running.
    Any suggestions?

    Just to be sure - you know that you can't use Epson's "USB-only" driver for printing to a Windows-shared printer?
    You must use the Gutenprint driver - that's why Apple included the Gutenprint drivers in OS X.

  • How do I use hotmail via Blackberry services and not via phone network so not using up my data?

    Hi,
    I have a new Blackberry 9360 and am having trouble with it. They said in the shop that I can access my yahoo mail without using up my 250mb of internet data, so can access it using the Blackberry services rather than the internet. I can't work out how to do this and can only seem to use the email through the internet where the messages come into my 'Messages' on the 'Home' screen, therefore I'm using up my data every time I open an email message when it comes in.
    Can anyone please help me as I'm wishing I could go back to Nokia at the mo!
    Many thanks.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.
    They gave me the impresssion in the shop that I could access my existing yahoo hotmail, send and receive messages on it for free via the BlackBerry services and not use up my data allowance and they didn't mean the Blackberry email which is a different thing. Have they misled me with this?
    Many thanks for any advice.

  • No internet access via guest network

    I have setup up a guest wifi network on time capsule.  Guests can connect to the network but the network does not allow them to access the internet?

    That would be the issue.
    The simplest fix would be to use the wireless on the Netgear for "guests".
    Next option would be to ask your provider if they can supply you with a simple modem.....not a modem/router or gateway type of device.
    After that.....not recommended.....you could try a different setting on the Time Capsule which would produce an error called Double NAT on the network....that may or may not allow things to work and create other problems as well.

  • N81 And Internet Share Via Bluetooth

    can share my pc internet on my N81 Mobilephone ?
    i have gnubox.it work on N73 ! but my n81 have pocketdata !

    One more thing i'm gonna have you do before I write out a whole step by step.. Go to your system preferences on your macbook. Then click the security tab, click firewall, then click advanced.  Make sure you are allowing your internet sharing/named services.  It should say allow connections.  If that doesn't work... I guess since I got 15 minutes i'll try to bust this out quick......  Did you try going to set up bluetooth device once again?  Even if it says its already paired do it again.  Once your Iphone and Macbook are paired again.  On your Iphone go to settings/general/bluetooth click on your connection and wait till it says connected.  Grab your macbook then Open system preferences and go to sharing. Now you can click internet sharing on the macbook "I also have bluetooth sharing on, but it sounded like you had already covered that part". When I don't pair them first before clicking internet sharing it doesn't always work..  You Should Have Internet!!!!       Just incase it still isn't going I got time for one more tip... On your macbook you can go to system preferences/ network and right click on the little gear on the left side by the + and - buttons.  Make sure your bluetooth pan is active. You can set the service order as well to move the bluetooth right below airport.  Hopefully that helps I don't have time right this second to write everything out.  I have a feeling it was probably your firewall or something I explained above.  Have a good day!   
    P.S.
    I will re-edit my post when I have more time.  Sorry for jamming it all together with bad grammar.  Hopefully you can follow for now.

  • Ipad 16-3G connection to Internet only via 3G. Wi-Fi?

    Dear All,
    IPad1 (16 - 3G): Safari can be connected to the Internet only via 3G network.
    There is no chance to connect to Internet via Wi-Fi.
    Extremely inconvenientю
    thank you for your answer!

    I had similar problems I couldn't connect to the internet with 3g although it showed a good signal. I had originally set up my iPad with wi-fi because Apple failed to initially send me the 3g sim. I went as far as doing a full restore with no joy. I finally sorted it by resetting the network on the iPad
    Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network settings
    Hope this helps

  • Using iPhone to connect pda to Edge via Bluetooth

    Any guidance on using the iPhone as a modem to connect to Edge for pda / computer ? I had this hooked up with my previous cellphone (Sony K790a) since I already had an edge account. Until Apple comes up with ActiveSync, I would like to continue to use this for Calendar / Exchange email.
    For the Sony, I found all the settings easily on the web, but I don't see anything for iPhone . . . am I missing something ?
    Thanks.

    This is called tethering, and you'll have to check if your carrier supports this feature.

    Share your Internet connection with your laptop with Internet tethering via Bluetooth or USB.
    Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.

  • Syncing via bluetooth disabled?

    AT&T customer support just told me that our syncing via bluetooth is disabled until we buy tethering. Is this true? If so, why?
    If it is not true, why does the iPhone pair correctly but then pops up a message on the phone saying we "do not have the necessary services".
    The device's bluetooth capabilities should not disable sync to my own Macs. This is crippling the device for no reason. Simply disable the device from tethering when attempting to connect to the Internet via bluetooth.
    Could someone enlighten me?
    We finally broke down and signed a contract for a GSM iPhone. It's the best. But AT&T and other "pipes" have had trouble keeping up with Apple's innovation -- or so it appears.

    I bought two iPhones and just assumed they would build in bluetooth capabilities as they did with the ipods. I just wanted to upload a few iphone apps I bought on my computer to the iphones. Syncing contacts and calendars is more involved.
    If I can sync with a cable, then why not via bluetooth? Perhaps this is something Apple does not support at this point?
    Then bluetooth on the iphone must be used only for tethering? In what other ways is it useful?
    Thanks for the quick response.

  • How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth?

    How can I pair an iPad with an android phone via Bluetooth? I get the pair message on both, but after acknowledging on both devices the connection fails to establish. I looked around and everything I found had to do with file transfer. I can share access to the internet via Bluetooth and it works with other devices I've tried this with. Thanks.

    Sorry.  After re-reading my question I realized that I wasn't clear.  I don't want to transfer files.  I want to use PDANet from my android and connect my iPad for internet access via bluetooth.  I know this is a 2 way transfer of data not very different from transferring files, but I just want to be sure that this is not going to work so I can stop trying as if I'm doing something wrong.  Like I said, I can do this with any other bluetooth capable device/computer I have.  Seems like it's just not working either by design or as a result of some limitation.  I guess 2 way communication with a headset gave me hope that internet access would work.  Thanks!

    I had an app which disables an iPhone to connect to the internet via mobile network. In the meantime I have deleted that app but it still affects my phone. For example iPhone shows that 3G sign on the top (next to the time) but it is unable to open any website. Is there anything I can do about it?

    What was the app you are referring to? I'm not aware of anything on the app store that is designed to do that, unless you're talking about an app that was causing a problem...
    Was/is your phone jailbroken?
