Handphone+Bluetooth Adapter+PC= Internet Connection??

A Year ago i bought a SE T610 SonyEriccson mobile phone due to my old motorola retirement. This phone has a bluetooth feature that i like so much, coz by this feature i could connect my phone to my computer so that i didnt have to go to the shop and spend some money to add ringtone or wallpaper. But to do that i have to buy another device, a bluetooth adapter for my computer.

Evidently we could connect our PC to the web by using handphone. Maybe for the first time i think that is not possible,but you now in this world impossible is nothing :-). But how??

1.First Step: Preparation
We need to prepare some stuff
-PC
-bluetooth adapter
-handphone (GSM/CDMA) that has bluetooth feature and already set for GPRS connection
- and of course enough phone pulses :-)

2.Second Step: GPRS setting
If the phone GPRS hasn't set yet we can set it for instance who use TELKOMSEL by send a sms message "GPRS" to 6616 or if you use INDOSAT send "GPRS" to 3000. Follow the instruction well and the GPRS setting will be installed to ur phone.

3.Third Step: Phone Setting
Activate the bluetooth feature of the phone. For SE T610 go to Connectivity-Bluetooth-Turn On

4.Fourth Step: Bluetooth Adapter setting
After the setting stuff accomplished, we can go straight to the PC. Make sure the bluetooth adapter driver has already installed. The driver usually come with the package when we bought one. After the installation, plug the adapter in. Start the bluetooth application at the PC. Click "My Buetoooth-Bluetooth Device Discovery" and the program will searh for new device. If there is no problem our handphone name will appear in the bluetooth application. Clck twice in the phone icon and the services will be available. There are several services provided by the application, choose "Bluetooth dial-up networking service".

5.Last Step:Connecting to Internet
You have to remember the CID number on your phone setting. In SE T610 you can see the CID through : Connectivity-Data Comm-Data Accounts-indosatgprs(if you use indosat provider)-CID
In my phone the CID for Telkomsel (because i use simpati card) is 1 so use that number to connect
There will be some form to fill in Bluetooth DUN Modem Connection
username : (just empty this form)
password :(just empty this form)
dial :99***CID# (in this case 99***1# )

explaination :
if there is several gprs setting on your phone:
1. Sat-Gprs
2. Telkomsel
3. Excel
4. IM3
5. etc

For connecting with setting number 1 use: *99***1#
for setting number 2: *99***2#
for setting number 3: *99***3#,
etc, its depend which connection you shall use
If everything run well you will be able to connect to the web immediately

The price each Kb for SIMPATI is Rp.12,- and MENTARI Rp.5,-
So which one will you choose is depend on your own taste and wallet thickness:-)
Enjoy the technology
