I want to use my mobile phone and laptop to connect to the internet.

I have both O2 and meteor PAYG sims.

The Samsung mobile is recognized (control panal > Phone and Modem Options) when I connect it using a USB cable, as 'Samsung Mobile Modem'.

O2 have sent their settings to my mobile and I can connect to the internet from the phone.

I presume I now need to add some settings to the laptop.

anybody have these settings or have a link with the details.

thanks

thks got meteor up and running.

anybody got the settings for O2.

ie Username, password and Extra initilization commands.

From other thread:

Go to Start Menu => Control panel.
· Double click "Phone and Modem Options."
· It will bring up a small window with 3 tabs, select the second tab "Modems."
· This will show a list of modems that are installed on the PC.
Your phone should be listed if it is detected.
· Select the appropriate modem and click "Properties."
· This will then bring up another window; please click on the "diagnostics" tab.
· In diagnostics, please click "query Modem"... this will take a moment to work.
This will check that the laptop and modem are communicating correctly. If this doesn't work the modem isn't being detected and may
need to be paired again.
· Next click the "Advanced" tab, which is beside diagnostics.
· Here there is a field for "Extra initilization commands."
· Enter the following command : at+cgdcont=1,"IP","data.mymeteor.ie", as seen below.

Setting up the dial-up connection
· Go to Control Panel => Network connections.
· Select "Create a new connection" (menu on side panel).
· This will bring up the connection wizard; Click next to begin.
· Select "Connect to the Internet" and click next.
· Select "Set up my connection manually" and click next.
· Select "Connect using a dial-up modem" and click next.
· Select the appropriate modem (your phone) from the list and click next.
· Enter an isp name eg: Meteor Internet Access"
· Enter the dial��up number; *99# for Nokia handsets or *99***1# for all other manufacturers.
· Enter Username and password and click next.
Username: my
Password: wap

You need different connection strings for various operators

For Meteor Phone Settings: (sent a text to meteor (50047) with the words SETTINGS, you will receive two texts back and select options and select install.)
