Access Internet From

Mobile Using Computers

Internet Connection yes,

you read it right. I am not

talking about using mobile

to access internet on your

PC. Its the opposite I am

demonstrating here. So

you will be able to use FREE

internet on mobile. Of

course, you may need to

pay for internet service you

use already on PC. Now as

with most mobile hacks,

this is limited to symbian

mobiles which includes

almost all Nokia Series60

and Many Sony Ericsson

phones. Why do I need

this? Yep. I felt the same

long time back and also left

the idea, but our reader

Manish wanted to know

this. And now I am done

with this I am finding this

quite useful, specially

during IPL matches these

days. I can check scores in

kitchen while cooking,

without running to

bedroom every 5 minutes!

Lazy me, I know… ;-)

Anyway online most of the

time, I need internet on

mobile only to update

themes, games and other

stuff. Downloading

themes, softwares and

other stuff on PC and then

sending them to mobile is

one option but I always

find its tedious. This one is

really better as its FREE and

speed is much better than

what GPRS ever offered!

How it will work? We

normally connect PC and

Mobile for file transfer and

data synchronization. One

step ahead, we use GPRS

on mobile to connect

internet on PC side. All

these means, two devices

can connect to each other

and share Internet. Only

remaining possibility left to

check was, can mobile dial/

use/access internet on PC?

And here is the solution

which will work for sure

but may need some

efforts… Access Internet
