Use another Bluetooth phone as a modem
You can use another phone that has Bluetooth as a modem for your device
to browse the Internet or to transfer other information.
To do this, create a Bluetooth modem connection on your device and then
send information to the phone by using Bluetooth. The phone relays the
information over the mobile phone network and then sends back to your
device any information that you had requested over the connection.
Once you create a modem connection to the Bluetooth phone, you can
reuse it whenever you want to use the phone as a modem. Make sure that
Bluetooth is turned on and visible mode is enabled on both your device and
the phone, and that the two are within close range.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC
device has no integrated phone capability.
