How to Connect GPRS Via Bluetooth

Once you've set up your PC to read your cell phone's GPRS, you can use the Internet at your own convenience.

You don't need a modem on your computer to be able to access the Internet; you can do this via Bluetooth on your phone's GPRS, if your phone has Bluetooth capabilities. It will allow you to use the browse websites, check your emails, watch videos and listen to music on the Internet. Once you've configured a modem and set your computer modem default to search for your phone's Bluetooth, you'll be connected whenever it suits you.
