    Default Can you browse internet on pc with vodafone GPRS?


    Just a quick query... I see that you need the vodafone mobile connect service to be able to browse the internet by connecting your mobile with USB cable.. (as an alternate option to the USB stick)
    But then I was just wondering if it is possible to browse the net by just using a compatible mobile with in-built modem, usb cable and an active GPRS service ? (whatever be the limitations such as slow speeds, only restricted websites or only WAP sites)

    Also, if the answer is a strict "Not Possible", was such an option available earlier let's say on Hutch? or is it available even now on other mobile operators?
    Thanks!

    Not possible as per Vodafone. Earlier with Hutch also, you needed Hutch access.
    Theoretically possible but needs some research. Try googling!!

    Yes I do know that you can use Mobileconnect to browse on your computer using the phone's internet but I was asking for an alternate way :d

    Desktop or laptop must have one of the facilities.
    usually Landline based Internet connection is
    activated in Cellphone in WIFI mode/blue tooth. .
    Was that a question to me?
    If so, the phone is a n79 and it would be connected to the computer via either bluetooth with help of a dongle or an USB cable.

    With regards to the landline internet connection, yes it is easy sharing that over wi-fi on a phone.
    But we are more concerned about sharing vodafone's GPRS on a computer without Mobileconnect.

    what do u mean alternate way?? Vodafone has 2 types of GPRS, mobile connect is full internet.

    but if u just want to access website, u can use rent-free GPRS (vodafone live) as well. (same settings as mobileconnect, only APN changes)
