Phone to access the Internet. How to access the Internet from a computer using a phone (Android, Windows Phone) as a Wi-Fi modem? How to connect mobile Internet to your phone

What if you need Internet, where there is no Wi-Fi access point or a dedicated Internet line? This is especially true for those who travel a lot or are often on business trips for work.

There are several options here:
1. Buy a 3G modem from any mobile operator.
2. Use mobile internet through mobile phone.
3. Use mobile 3G Internet through a smartphone with a wi-fi module (90% of smartphones since 2012).

First option can be used if you do not have a mobile phone that supports GPRS or EDGE connections. Usually these are phones made before 2005. But this option is not cheap! You need to buy a 3G modem and pay a monthly fee for the Internet.

Second option more interesting. Here it is important that your phone supports GPRS or EDGE connection. In this case, you do not need to pay anything extra, because. mobile operators usually include a certain number of free megabytes of Internet in any tariff package. In extreme cases, you can choose a tariff package for yourself, where there are definitely free or inexpensive megabytes of the Internet.

I will tell you how to enable the Internet on a computer using a mobile phone using the Samsung C3322 Duos phone as an example. This phone has everything you need to use the Internet directly from your phone or connect it to the Internet on your computer. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a desktop computer or a laptop.

My goal was to connect my laptop to the internet via my mobile phone using a PC-to-phone connection via BlueTooth (bluetooth) to avoid fiddling with wires.

Now step by step how I connected my computer to internet via mobile phone using BlueTooth connection.

1. Check the Internet connection settings on your phone. To do this, you can send MMS. If it is sent, everything is in order, there is a connection. If it is not sent, you need to call the operator and receive settings from him via SMS and set these settings.

2. Turn on BlueTooth on your phone. In my case, the path on the phone is: Menu - Applications - BlueTooth - Options - Settings - Enable / Disable BlueTooth

3. Turn on BlueTooth on your computer. On my laptop, BlueTooth is turned on using the Fn + F3 key combination (the antenna icon or specifically the BlueTooth icon can be drawn on the BlueTooth power button). If your computer does not have a built-in BlueTooth adapter, you can buy it separately and connect via USB.

4. When BlueTooth is turned on on the computer, the BlueTooth icon will appear near the clock (lower right corner of the desktop). At the same time, additional drivers for the BlueTooth modem will be installed.

5. Click on this icon with the RIGHT mouse button and select "Add device". Then follow the instructions of the Add Device Wizard. During the search, the phone may ask permission to connect to the computer, pay attention to this and click on "Allow" or simply "Yes" on the phone.

If the Wizard did not detect your phone, then check if BlueTooth is enabled on the phone, put the phone closer to the computer (range up to 10 meters), check in the START menu - DEVICES and PRINTERS (for Windows 7) your phone may have already been found earlier.

6. Go to the START menu - DEVICES and PRINTERS (for Windows 7), if the Wizard does not automatically transfer you to this panel after the search.

7. We click with the RIGHT mouse button on the picture of the found phone.

8. Select "Dial-up connection" - "Create a dial-up connection ..." (for Windows 7).

9. Select any modem from the list, usually the first one in the list.

10. Enter the phone number, usually *99#, you can find out more precisely from your operator or look on the Internet using the search. "Username" and "Password" are usually not filled in, this can also be checked with your operator. Next, we call the connection as you like - it's just a name.

11. Click the "Connect" button. The wizard will create the connection. Please note that the phone may ask permission to connect - click "Allow" or just "Yes" on the phone. If the wizard displays an error message, the selected modem may already be connected, just select another modem from the list - repeat steps 7-10.

12. Everything. You can enter the Internet, which will prompt you to do the Connection Wizard. With the following connections, select the desired connection (via phone) already through the "Network Connections" icon near the clock, the lower right corner of the desktop.

ATTENTION!!! If for some reason you need to delete an extra connection, go to START, select "Run", write ncpa.cpl this is a panel Network connections , which for some reason is hidden in Windows 7, and here you can already delete or rename connections. Use the RIGHT mouse button on the selected connection.

Thus, using your mobile phone, you can easily connect your computer to the Internet where there is no way to connect via a dedicated line or Wi-Fi connection.

Third option- this is to make a router or access point out of your smartphone. On a smartphone, you need, respectively, to have either 3G Internet or regular mobile Internet.

So, open the top panel of your smartphone or tablet and turn on "Access to Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi Direct" (you need to hold your finger a little to open the settings).

Save the settings and open wi-fi connections on the computer (antenna in the lower right corner). In the list, select your network and connect by entering the password that was in the settings or the one that you yourself came up with.

Everything, now the Internet works on the computer!

Today, the Internet on the phone through a computer is a very common phenomenon. For high-quality and uninterrupted operation of devices, it is necessary to make their competent connection. At the same time, to connect phones and computers, users use a cable or “bluetooth”, which is turned on in the mobile device itself.

After connecting the phone, on the computer, go to the "Start" menu, then to "Settings", from there - to the "Control Panel", where you need to find the line "Phone and modem". Select "Modem" and click "Add".

To install the Internet on the phone through a computer, you need to install a modem (in this case, its role is played by a mobile phone). The installation process can be performed using a boot disk (if it is included with the phone or cable) or a file that contains the drivers for installation.

The next step in the installation is to select the desired modem from the list, in accordance with the model of the mobile device. When you click the "Next" button, the system will provide a choice of the port on which the modem should be installed. As a rule, this is COM 1. In some situations, a window may appear on the screen warning about possible incompatibility between the modem and the installed operating system. Users in most cases ignore this information and click the "Next" button. In this case, the system displays a message about the successful installation of the modem, which indicates that all previous actions were performed correctly. Next, click "Finish" and proceed with the settings.

Before proceeding with the next steps, it is recommended to check the connection again. After that, you need to open the "Toolbars" menu "Modems". After selecting an already installed device, you should enter its properties. In the "Additional communication parameters" an additional initialization command is written. In accordance with the instructions in the user manual, the necessary information is entered.

To set up an Internet connection on your phone via a computer, you must create a new connection in the network connections menu. To ensure correct (stable) operation, the system provides for a "setup wizard". In this open window, you should mark the line "Connect to the Internet", after clicking the "Next" button, you need to make a manual connection. In order for the Internet connection to work on the phone through the computer without failures, the settings must be made in accordance with the information contained on the websites of telecom operators.

Communication settings may vary depending on the type of connection, operator, and cell phone brand. Many users often experience difficulties when trying to set up the Internet on a Chinese phone. Before starting to take actions to change existing and enter new parameters, you need to make sure that the Internet connection service is connected and available. Depending on the mobile service provider, the parameters of the new profile are entered. To do this, open the "Services" folder in the telephone menu, in which there is a "Profile" tab.

To obtain unlimited (within the limits of the operator's services) opportunities for accessing the Network through a mobile device, there is the "unlimited Internet on the phone" service. At the same time, users are given the opportunity to use a high connection speed. However, as a rule, tariff plans provide for some traffic restrictions. You can use unlimited Internet connection only within the connection region. This service does not apply to international and intranet roaming.

Hello, dear subscribers and guests of my blog! In today's issue, I will tell you about the features of setting up the Internet on a mobile phone. A mobile phone is the very first improvised computer tool with which a person can access the Internet.

In order to be able to be online in social networks, read news, use a navigator or check mail, you need to set up an Internet connection on your phone. Not everyone knows how to properly set up the Internet on their phone. Internet setup is divided into two types: automatic and manual. In this article, we will consider all possible options for connecting a mobile device to the Internet.

How to set up the Internet on the phone automatically?

One of the easiest and fastest ways to connect your phone to the Internet is to order an automatic setup service from your mobile operator. The option to receive settings for accessing the Internet is free for all available Russian operators, and does not depend on the connected tariff plan. To receive automatic settings, you need to call the call center from your mobile phone, and then leave a corresponding request. After some time, the phone will receive automatic settings for the Internet, and the user will need to agree with their installation. To do this, open the message, and then select the "Set Settings" button. This method is one of the most popular to connect your phone to the Internet.

There are cases when, after receiving automatic settings on the phone, the device cannot access the network. In this situation, you will need to perform the following manipulations:

Most Android phone models may not support the automatic configuration option for mobile operators. A number of such operators include: MTS, Life and Beeline. If, nevertheless, your device does not connect to the network, then you will need to create the settings yourself. To do this, you need to order settings from your mobile operator, for which you visit the official website from a computer, fill in the required fields and send the settings to your phone. There is also a way to use short numbers, which you need to dial from a mobile phone that you want to connect to the Internet.
