Most modern mobile phones can be used as a modem to connect to the internet. Using this feature usually saves money on the purchase of a USB modem.
Necessary
- - PC Suite;
- - USB cable
Instructions
Step 1
Find a program that is suitable for synchronizing your computer with your mobile phone. It is better to use a program that is recommended for use by the manufacturer of this phone. These applications include the PC Suite of various versions. Install this app.
Step 2
Prepare the cable required to connect your phone to your computer. Connect it to the USB port of your PC, after launching the program. Connect the cable to your phone. Select the operating mode of the device "Modem" or PС Suite. Wait for your phone to automatically sync with your computer. Usually in the corner of the working window appears the message "Phone connected …"
Step 3
Open the Internet Connection menu. Fill in the required items in the table that opens. Most often, you need to specify an Internet access point, username and password. Enter the information that you provided when setting up your cell phone to access the network.
Step 4
After completing the configuration, click the "Connect" button. Wait for the connection to be established with your operator's server. After the message about successful Internet connection appears, check the network access activity.
Step 5
Given the fact that the connection speed is relatively low, it is recommended to disable all unnecessary programs that use the Internet connection. Pay special attention to download managers such as uTorrent.
Step 6
Disable automatic updates of the operating system and antivirus software. This is especially important if you do not use an unlimited tariff for Internet access. If your phone does not have the function of charging the battery with a USB cable, then connect the device to an AC outlet. The battery usually discharges quickly enough when operating in modem mode.
