10.9  Using Your Device as a Modem 
(Internet Sharing )
Internet Sharing connects your PC or notebook computer to the Internet 
by using your device’s data connection (GPRS or EDGE, for instance). You 
can choose to connect via USB or Bluetooth.
Follow the procedure in this section to set up your device as a USB modem. 
To learn how to set up your device as a Bluetooth modem, see “Use the 
device as a Bluetooth modem” in this chapter.
Notes 
•  Make sure your device has a SIM card installed, and your device has a 
GPRS or phone dial-up modem connection. If your device has not been 
set up with a data connection yet, tap Menu > Connection Settings on 
the Internet Sharing screen. For more information about setting up these 
connections, see "GPRS" and "Dial-up and Other Connections" earlier in 
this chapter.
 
•  If you want to use a USB cable connection, you must first install Windows 
Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.5 or later on the 
computer.
