Laptop Internet Connetivity via SE T610 and Bluetooth

Posted by btr Fri, 05 Nov 2004 21:51:39 GMT

I have successfully configured my SE T610 via a Bluetooth USB adapter to connect my PC to the internet using T-Mobile GPRS.

Here's my setup.

  • Laptop PC (Windows 2003 Enterprise Server)
  • Sabrent 2.4 GHz USB Dongle USB Adapter (I bought from AxionTech for $16.95 this afternoon)
  • Sony Ericsson T610
  • T-Mobile T-Zones Unlimited Plan ($4.99/month)

    Installation steps:

  • Install Bluetooth Software for the USB adapter
  • Pair the device (be sure to select a passkey to secure the connection, confgiure the services for the cell phone as bluetooth device, select Dial-up Networking)
  • Configure the Dial-up Networking (select PPP connection and set the phone number to *99***2#; no need to set up user id and password)
  • Add a new data account in SE T61o Connectivity/Data Comm (APN: wap.voicestream.com, CID will be 2. if not, change the dial up phone number according. The digit before the # is the CID number)
  • Click on T610 Dial-up Networking on PC. It should show connection up quickly if everything is configured OK

    I am getting 38 kbps through Road Runner Speed Test. Compared to 2655 kbps over a broadband connection. It's very slow, but it's fast enough for usage on-the-go.

    And it's so hard to believe that I can use HTTPS on the PC while T-Mobile blocks HTTPS on the cell phone. It's very hard to comprehend what T-Mobile is going after.

    The flash estimate for December's HSBC China PMI rises to 49 from the previous month's 47.7. "The growth momentum remains weak with additional downside risks from exports and the property market not yet fully filtering through," says HSBC's chief China economist. Beaten down Shanghai shares get a nice bounce from the number, but remain lower by 1.1% on the session.
