Hi all, i currently am using my Sony Ericsson T610 as a modem on my laptop using a data cable on Optus in Australia and i have been doing it for free for about a week now and it's great but it dose have it's up's and downs. Ok using my Sony Ericsson T610 as a modem i can visit most sites but some sites such as awardspace don't work but i found a way to get around it. If you can't access cetain sites i just use a Proxy such as http://www.vpntunnel.net and it usually fixes that problem, otherwise i can't access it all together. OK another problem i have is that my laptop doesn't work with cookies. I ave changed the settings in internet options so it would let them work but it still doesn't. Any1 know ow to fix this? i think the problem may be that i am connecting to the net through my phone through a Proxy, so that might be it. Also i cannot access download programs and FTP clients, things like that. Probably because of the same reason the cookies aren't working but i'm not sure. Last problem i have is that i can't download any files bigger than 4mb in size. Now this is a problem because the reason i started to use my Sony Ericsson T610 as a modem is because i wanted to download music and games but i can't now but thats ok but does any1 know how this could be fixed? Also any1 who is on optus in australia and wants free GPRS on there phone and free internet on there computer just post here or inbox me. Thanks. Rock on Final Fantasy

wow, i wish we had free GPRS here in Romania...there are better payed alternatives but free is free, even if it is slow. At least for mail and reading on the internet it could be best.

yeah i use my phone as a modem for downloading music, reading emails, going onto prodigits, coming on ere, updating my website and lots of other things. And i don't really care about the speed it's free so who would knock back the cance to get free internet as long as they wan't? Speeds are good compaired to my dialup i've got at home, i get about 8kb/s on my phone wen downloading and on my dialup it's about 6kb/s so it's good.

I've tried before making my mobile phone as a modem. It was when I've subscribed a new broadband service, and that time, I don't have internet service in my house. Hence I had to use the my phone as a modem. It's very slow and very restricted. Like what you've said, many stuffs and services doesn't work well. We can as much use it to surf simple webpages only. Hence I don't think FTP would work with your mobile phone as a modem. Regarding about the filesize that you've said is 4MB, it could be that a limitation which your mobile phone can handle or a restriction from your ISP. I've not heard of any of such restrictions yet. As for the cookie issue, you've actually used a proxy service to surf your webpages. Hence the cookies are actually stored on the proxy servers, not on your computer. Some proxy services allows you to edit the cookie configurations, such as deleting cookies, or editing it's expiry dates etc. Hence configuring cookies on your browser would not work as it's not in effect. Anyway, mobile phone as modems are dead slow. Why continue using it if we've got broadband services? Unless there issn't any broadband services subscribed then we'll use mobile phones as modems. Moreover, it's extremely expensive on that low bandwidth network connection.

the guy actually said it was free so to some extent neither the connection speed nor the limitations are obstacles in using it, perhaps your nerves and if u are willing to pay to get more confort than there are other possibilities, but one laptop in the countryside or the one u take on vacation would really use that one.

Yeah i am going to get broadband hopefully, but i would still use my mobile as a modem because it's andy for when i can't go on my net and i use it to upload files and run my website so it's handy for some things. Also i use it to download music which takes about 10mins a song

If the internet is needed to be used in the countryside, then there issn't a choice but to use the low bandwidth internet with the mobile phone as the modem. Otherwise an alternative would be satellite broadband. However that would be slightly more expensive.

I do it but it's expensive and we used to have free gprs here in South Africa untill that mentally retarded bunch (Vodacom) stopped it  . Everyone was on a WAP rush in those days.

I hope you didn't register here just to ask that. You are in South Africa right? If you kept your ears open you would have known that Vodacom stopped it a while ago yet some people still clain to have it free. The rumour is that Vodacom made it free to intice people to buy their "VLive!" branded phones. Well they stopped it and made a HUGE profit. I am now anti Vodacom.

Using Mobile Phone As A Modem
hi ,, I have just been using my Telstra phone (Australian)with a Thai chip in Thailand as a modem,, It works great and fast ,, and you can still use the phone at the same time for calls ,, Pity we are being ruled by Telstra here and not allowed a sensible price for internet,, In Thailand it cost $8 for 100 hours unlimited download,, Telstra would charge about $400 at least

QUOTE (serverph @ Dec 31 2008, 04:22 AM)  i recently started using my mobile phone as a modem, and i use it only when i'm getting a 3G signal. it's much faster if the signal is 3G... sometimes it can even get 3.5G (HSDPA) signal [although my phone does not report that of course  i just notice the faster than 3G speed]. if the signal i get is simply GPRS, that's when it slows down, sometimes even slower than a dialup. my network has a fixed rate for a 30-minute period (even if you consume the whole period or not, even if it's crawling in GPRS or somewhat blazing in 3G signal). it's Php10.00/30mins (US$1 is approximately 48 philippine pesos). exceed 30 minutes, and you get charged for another ten pesos. which is why i always set an alarm for every 29 minutes to warn me of my usage, and don't exceed the time allotment and get charged for time i don't use if i exceed. mobile networks in our country are now serving wireless broadband using USB modems with their data-only SIMs (meaning it's dedicated for connecting online only, and can't be used to send SMS or call). as in the case of a mobile phone, it connects online using GPRS or 3G/HSDPA. what i don't like about it though is that you get tied up to them for a year or two, and if you want to discontinue the service before the contract is up, you got to pay an exorbitant disconnection fee. Yeah, Virgin and Vodafone offe those those things but Virgin is far by the cheapest available (5GB for $40AU)... The modem isn't so great though...
