o2 Phone as Modem

 

Con asked a question in the forum:
 
Hi Mark,
I was considering moving from meteor ready-to-go to o2 bill pay and getting a new hsdpa phone (my current target is the Nokia 5800) so I could use the phone both as a internet surfing device and as a mobile broadband modem (with a laptop).  However, when I made enquiries at an o2 outlet as to the feasability of this approach they were very negative about it, saying that my internet connection would be much slower for a laptop than if I got a seperate dongle style modem. 
I'd like to hear more about your own experience and what you think of these objections that the o2 sales staff were making.
Thanks,
Con

When communicating with an infrared mobile phone, ensure that the phone's Infrared is switched on.Ensure that your Network operator (e.g. o2, Orange, Vodafone) has 'data-enabled'phentermine your SIM card. If not, call their Customer Service people.Infrared - Ensure distance of between 5 - 15cm (too close may swamp the IR eye).Thanks to Daniel for a resolution to a problem he's encountered. His problem viagrawas that the number 915000 wasn't recognised. Using the URL of as the o2 WAP site fixed the problem for him. If you can't connect and browse WAP via your Pocket PC, it could be that there's a problem with your account, with your network operator's WAP service, or the site you're looking for may be down. Try connecting to the site cialis with your mobile phone's WAP browser, to check the site and your SIM. If that works, then it's your Pocket PC that's acting up. Check your settings, and perhaps try a soft-reset of your Pocket PC. Double-check that you're dialing the right number, and using the 'Mobile' setting. When you try to connect, you get a "dialing" box. Check it looks like the following screenshot:
