hey guys...i have a motorola razr v3 and a data cable which came bundeled with it...i wonder if i can use my computer's internet connection on it???....please tell me if anything like this is possible....
BROADBAND ON CELLPHONE??
N
Never heard of it!!!!!!!!!
if your phone has GPRS support then u need to activate it thro your service provider and then you can connect to the internet
P
you mean to say browse internet on your phone using a landline / broadband connection that your pc has? Please correct me if i got that wrong.
oh did he mean it that way! :roll: if its that way then its not possible..
I
You can use slow, killer speed intenet via gprs of 50 kbps, but broadband, in ur dreams
Hmmm...., Moto-V3 can connect to GPRS via Bluetooth or use it as a modem with the Bluetooth PC USB Adaptor .
Between i dont think we can use the "data cable" and connect to the phone and use as an internal modem....

thanx for the reply guys....it was just a notion in my mind that if my computer can use my cellphone as a modem why not the other way around!!! being a prepaid user i find gprs service a bit too expensive....that was the only reason for this silly topic!!!
W
@sahil, where are you from? Gprs rentals are one of the cheapest in india. My gprs connection from airtel offers edge and full internet access at 150 rupees a month. Thats pretty cheap imho. But airtel rentals vary from circle to circle...
S
but here in delhi i checked up with airtel...they said that it was 500/month...also tell me what the hell is edge??

neh....i dun think it's possible
W
Well edge is a faster mode of gprs. It offers theoretical speeds of up to 384 kbps. 500 is pretty steep though.
it means ENHANCED DATA RATES FOR GLOBAL EVOLUTION (EDGE) this is a feature of the GSM phones it will work only if GPRS is active..

384kbps on a celphone!!!!......are you serious????......and you are getting all this for 150/month....thats hell lot better than any broadband connection.....
well u will not get constant 384kbps.. but avg ull land up sumwer about 200-250 kbps.. and yes it is cheap.. but then i dunno bout their limits.. the download limits i mean..
S
whizkid how much a month can you download with a edge connection??
W
The good thing is, airtel doesn't have a download limit! The only requirement is an EDGE enabled handset.
S
i dont get it...if thats the case one can download gbs of data with an incredible speed too....then why isnt it popular cause i surely hadnt heard about it earlier....
W
Hey! I said theoretical speeds of 384 kbps the actual speeds are much lower. But it is good enough. And Edge hasn't been fully implemented everywhere.
S
where do ya live....if any such kind of technology is available, it has to be present in the country's capital....dont you think so??
W
I'm near bombay. I'm pretty sure its there in delhi. Get an edge enabled phone from a friend and try it if that suits your needs.
A
orange gives gprs in 99/ pm...and if handset is edge enabled...its activated free...at least as of now...and yes i live in mumbai...
W
Afaik,thats only wap gprs. You need a full gprs connection to use your phone as modem. In bombay, orange charges about 400 bucks for that. Do correct me if i'm wrong there.
maan..i had a hutch edge connection for 99/month without any limit and i used to get a download speed of 25kBytesps...

Airtel EDGE service is faster than Hutch GPRS /EDGE
but airtel is 600rs/month
hutch is only 99/month
but airtel edge can be used also on any pc using a data connectivity to your mobile Bluetooth/irda/cable

any limitations on the sites that can be browsed ?
A
well guys now what i need for having GPRS/EDGE on my computer a Bluetooth dongl and which software?
Your Second statement tells why Airtel's service is costly.vk123 said:
Between, u can use hutch connection on a pc also with the support of datacable for rs. 120 PM and rs. 1.20 additional for any extra mb downloaded.
No limitationa on airtel 600rs connection but for hutch rs 99 connection u can browse WAP sites with ur GPRS/WAP supported phone. Hutch rs.120 PM connection charges rs1.2 for every mb transferred.vijaythefool said:
For GPRS/EDGE connection u just need a DAta cable or a BT dongle if ur phone supports it.abhinav said:
S
even Rs600 is damn cheap for an unlimited connection for the whole day and that too at a good speed...i am paying Rs 650 to sify just for the night unlimited pack @256kbps
V
What about the speed ! and can this hand sets continously used for long hours ?
yeah. it is possible to connect to the net on ur pc via the data cable. just set it up as a modem, and have ur gprs activated. for airtel, u just set up a dial up connection with the number *99***x# where x is the connection profile no on ur phone (usually 1). as for a hutch connection, they offer something known as hutch access, which is frightfully expensive. but the system can be bypassed, and u can use da net on ur pc with only gprs activated
Also if you get WAP u can use it as a modem and connect it to the PC or laptop to browse the net.
Or u can uise GPRS for internet on mobile.
