[sahil_blues]

hey guys...i have a motorola razr v3 and a data cable which came bundeled with it...i wonder if i can use my computer's internet connection on it???....please tell me if anything like this is possible....

 

[navjotjsingh]

Never heard of it!!!!!!!!!

if your phone has GPRS support then u need to activate it thro your service provider and then you can connect to the internet

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

you mean to say browse internet on your phone using a landline / broadband connection that your pc has? Please correct me if i got that wrong.

 

[bharathbala2003]

oh did he mean it that way! :roll: if its that way then its not possible..

 

[imcool]

You can use slow, killer speed intenet via gprs of 50 kbps, but broadband, in ur dreams

 

[drgrudge]

Hmmm...., Moto-V3 can connect to GPRS via Bluetooth or use it as a modem with the Bluetooth PC USB Adaptor .

Between i dont think we can use the "data cable" and connect to the phone and use as an internal modem....

 

[sahil_blues]

thanx for the reply guys....it was just a notion in my mind that if my computer can use my cellphone as a modem why not the other way around!!! being a prepaid user i find gprs service a bit too expensive....that was the only reason for this silly topic!!!

@sahil, where are you from? Gprs rentals are one of the cheapest in india. My gprs connection from airtel offers edge and full internet access at 150 rupees a month. Thats pretty cheap imho. But airtel rentals vary from circle to circle...

 

[sahil_blues]

but here in delhi i checked up with airtel...they said that it was 500/month...also tell me what the hell is edge??

neh....i dun think it's possible

Well edge is a faster mode of gprs. It offers theoretical speeds of up to 384 kbps. 500 is pretty steep though.

 

[bharathbala2003]

it means ENHANCED DATA RATES FOR GLOBAL EVOLUTION (EDGE) this is a feature of the GSM phones it will work only if GPRS is active..

Well edge is a faster mode of gprs. It offers theoretical speeds of up to 384 kbps. 500 is pretty steep though.

384kbps on a celphone!!!!......are you serious????......and you are getting all this for 150/month....thats hell lot better than any broadband connection.....

 

[bharathbala2003]

well u will not get constant 384kbps.. but avg ull land up sumwer about 200-250 kbps.. and yes it is cheap.. but then i dunno bout their limits.. the download limits i mean..

 

[sahil_blues]

whizkid how much a month can you download with a edge connection??

 

[Wh!Zk!D]

The good thing is, airtel doesn't have a download limit! The only requirement is an EDGE enabled handset.

 

[sahil_blues]

i dont get it...if thats the case one can download gbs of data with an incredible speed too....then why isnt it popular cause i surely hadnt heard about it earlier....

 

[Wh!Zk!D]

Hey! I said theoretical speeds of 384 kbps the actual speeds are much lower. But it is good enough. And Edge hasn't been fully implemented everywhere.

 

[sahil_blues]

where do ya live....if any such kind of technology is available, it has to be present in the country's capital....dont you think so??
