Iphone used as modem for laptop

Does anyone know if the iphone can be connected to a laptop and used as a modem (like a Blackberry) on the Edge network when wireless is not available? Thanks.

It is not legally available. And ATT charges for any tethering one does do. THere is an illegal workaround for this, that not only voids your Apple warranty, but could end up with a) a hefty charge from ATT for tethering (they charge 79.99 a month with a plan, but by the kb without one) and b) suspension of your service through ATT, and hence no iPHone (or any ATT phone) at all.
It is just plain old not available, and if you aren't afraid of either Apple or ATT legal repercussions, then a iPHone mod site would be the place for you - not here.

Thank you. Does this mean I can get rid of the mobile modern on my computer and the pre paid sim card in my iPad if I choose? (data and plan considerations aside)

E61 as Modem for Laptop

Hello Forum,
Has anyone ever managed to use an E61 as a modem for a laptop so you can have some sort of mobile internet via GPRS when travelling? It only seems to work the other way around that one can connect the phone to a computer via IP passthrough and access internet on the phone via the computer. But how about connecting the computer through the phone? Would either use cable or infrared to connect to the phone but how would one get further on to the internet?
E61

Hello,
Yes I have but all these instructions presume you have the most recent PC Suite running. This doesn't work on W2K but there is a driver to download and install, just I don't know how to install it. Can copy it into the system folder but wouldn't it need a registry entry...?

Cannot use the cable driver as this one is only for XP or higher but Bluetooth & IR should work. I f only I could install it on my computer.

How to use iPhone as a modem for MBP

bonjour all,
after looking up information about how to use my iPhone 3G as a modem to my late 2008 MPB i found a APP called NetShare that was removed by Apple for reasons unknown yet, and i was hoping that with a little luck there might be an alternative.
if you have any information please pass it on,
Cheers,
Sean

I'm from the US, and there has been no alternative because Apple doesn't want people to be able to tether on the iPhone just yet. Apparently they will be releasing tethering to iPhone users here soon, but Apple took Netshare down because of that fact.
Now I don't know if there is anything else available in Paris, but you might want to contact Apple or your cell carrier and ask them, they would have a better idea about it.

Using iphone as a modem for your home PC

I currently have a motorola slvr that I use as a modem on my home computer by connecting with the usb cable. It's the only way I can get internet at home right now.
Has anyone tried this with the iphone? I want to buy one in the next few weeks, but this may sway my decision.
Thanks!!

This is not an option for the iphone at this point.

How to use N9 as a modem for laptop

Hi,
I dont have much experience with phones, so hopefully this is a simple answer. I want to connect my laptop to the internet using my N9. The guy at the shop said I just use the USB to plug the mobile into the laptop and away I go. I've tried this, but it isn't working. I read on a discussion board I need to download Nokia Link, which I did but still no internet access. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Tan

IPhone as mobile internet for laptop?

Is it possible to use the iPhone as a mobile internet dongle when connected to a laptop? I'm in the market for a new phone and a mobile broadband account and it would be a deal clincher if I can get both in one.

Unlike some people it seems, I work for a living as a pilot, not spending my days like an IT geek surfing forums. So apologise for the delay in looking back in at this thread which you seem to think is an appropriate reason for insulting me.
I have the tethering app installed on my iPhone and it works fine. You use WiFi to connect to the phone which creates a shared connection.
I have no idea if it was removed or not...

Well, yes, I know that - I linked to the developer's site for the app you are referring to in my initial response to the OP (click on "only one" in the second post in this thread; in actuality, that app was posted on 7/31, removed later that day, reappeared the afternoon of 8/1, and was pulled again a few hours later, so it was available for probably less than 24 hours in total, but over a two-day period).
Given that, I did not really expect a reply from steve copeland, but I thought I'd ask anyway (even though my question was 60% rhetorical and 39% facetious).

Use imac monitor for laptop display?

Just curious, I've got a new mac book pro but the screen size just isn't sufficient for some applications. My 24" imac works great for it, but since this is my work laptop I'm not supposed to put these files on my home computer (not to mention the programs). So, I want to know if there is any way to use my imac monitor as a display for my laptop.
I know there isn't just a DVI in port on the imac, but there's got to be a way to do this... If it were a PC I'd say remote desktop.

christie.cone, Welcome to the discussion area!
Not directly the iMac does NOT have a video input.
However, you might want to take a look at ScreenRecycler.

HTC Hero as modem for laptop ( SOLVED)

Hi,
I have been trying to use my HTC Hero phone data package for browsing the web from my laptop with no success.
The steps I have taken so far ( based on googling the query and reading the wiki )
1. Installed USB RNDIS driver for SynCE from the AUR
2. Brought the interface up ( the interface is named usb0 on my system, not rndis0 )
3. ran the command dhcpcd usb0
And then it broadcasts for a lease and then times out.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Samsom

usb0 interface provide new kernel v. 2.28 - rndis-list is not needed. I'm using HTC Hero connected to my Dell laptop. There is no problem with dhcpcd usb0 command, but I have problem when connecting phone to running system. If I connect phone and than boot archlinux than interface usb0 is in system. If connect phone to running os, than interfac usb0 is not visible.
Thanks a lot, mate. Works now.

Using internal modem for sound input

This is possible in OS 9 using the Sound control panel- I use it for recording surveys I do over the phone. However, it would be nice to use OS X since I do everything else with that. The only options in the Sound pane are Internal/External microphone and "Sound Input", whatever that is. Any ideas? Thanks!

Quick google search brought up this site: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/audiocorder.html
You could give that a try.

If your cell phone carrier supports tethering with the iPhone, you need to sign up for a tethering plan with your carrier first.

Using iphone as Broadband modem

does anyone know whether it's possible to configure the iphone to act as a broadband modem for Laptop computer to connect to the internet ?
cheers

It is generally possible to enable or include Bluetooth profiles, such as the DUN [Dial Up Networking] profile required to connect a computer to the internet via Bluetooth by applying an approved firmware updater, but…
…as a practical matter, this just is not going to happen. at&t has no interest in promoting this concept, particularly at the comparatively 'discounted' data plan rates associated with the iPhone.
If DUN connections are really important to you, and you don't want to use a separate data card designed specifically for this purpose, take an inexpensive at&t supplied or unlocked GSM mobile handset capable of performing in this manner along with you, slip the SIM out of the iPhone and into your 'data modem handset' for the duration of your connection session. Be sure to watch how frequently you do this and for what duration, as 'unlimited' data is not really unlimited, with at&t data plans. There is no better explanation of this issue than that offered by the terms and conditions of your data plan…
