How to Tether a LG Cu920 to a Laptop
If you need to access the internet on the go and you do not have access to a wireless network or phone with a data plan, one alternative is to tether your cell phone to your computer. Tethering uses your mobile phone as a dial-up modem, allowing you to access the internet anywhere your phone has a service signal. The LG CU920 is one phone capable of tethering as long as you have the feature enabled through your phone service provider. Once enabled, tethering your LG phone to your computer and connecting to the Internet is a simple and straight forward process.
