In our days, everyone has a personal computer, and the majority of us, are using frequently the Internet. But what do you do when you need to find some information, or you work online and you need to submit your work, or you need the internet for something that can't wait and your internet fails to connect? The fixing of the internet connection could take long time, because our internet providers are always busy. But, happily, with the advanced technology, we can use our smartphones to connect to internet.

Even smartphones are quite small, they can do lots of interesting things and with so many unlimited Internet offers for mobile, we can afford a nice internet connection to our PC using the smartphone. But the question is: "How to use my smartphone as a modem?"

Of course, it is not quite hard and you don't have to have studies in software engineering or be a genius to make this happen. Not all smartphones have the same menus and settings, but they don't differ too much, so, the example of establishing the connection I will give you, should help you.

In order to connect to internet through your smartphone, you should now that you will need the following: Bluetooth or plug-in cable, your computer must operate under Windows XP Service Pack2 or Service Pack3, and an internet connection on your smartphone (you better have an unlimited internet connection).

First of all, you have to verify if your phone is connecting to internet.

On your phone: See if you can find an application named "Modem Link" or a similar application in Programs menu.

Go to Settings in the main menu, then go to Connections-> then choose the type of connection (USB or Bluetooth) and activate your smartphone as Modem.

On your computer: You should disable the application ActiveSync. Then, you have to install the drivers for your phone, in order to get your phone recognized by the computer and to be able to exchange data from phone to PC or vice versa. The drivers are located on a small CD, which came along with the phone in the same pack.

After you have installed the drivers and the phone is yet connected to the PC, go to My Computer->Control Panel->Phone and Modem Options and choose the right modem. If you don't have the connection added on your computer, you should manually add one connection. In order to do this, follow the next directions.

Go again to Control Panel->Network Connections, then, click on Create a new connection. It will appear a window which welcomes you to the new connection wizard like in the next image.

You should click on NEXT> then->Connect to Internet->Setup Connection Manually->and finally Connect Using Dial-up Modem. Continuing, you receive an option list with phones connected to your computer and then you have to select your working smartphone from that list. To recognize rapidly in the future your phone connection, you should name your new connection in the next window appearing on the screen.

Finally, you can now surf on the web using your intelligent and performant smartphone!
