Does bluetooth on my phone require internet usage
August 8th, 2009 at 8:37 am
i did this flawlessly on my nokia e71 with my carrier ATT/Cingular. Currently, I’m able to use the Unlimited MediaNet data plan to access my email, browse the internet, pay my bills etc. from the phone (the plan is $15 BTW) . is a tethering plan still a MUST have even though this works fine with this connection?

@comeon6
google “wmwifirouter .91″. you should find it in the modaco forum. download wmwifirouter and ics cab files. there should be instructions on how to install them. if you still can’t figure it out give me your email.
