It's called tethering and it can be done quite easily, but the network won't like it if they find out.
I've done it with my iPhone.. normally O2 charge something like £25/month on top of your current bill to activate tethering on the iPhone but there's other ways to do it



I just connect my E71 to my laptop via cable (or bluetooth sometimes) and press connect to internet using the Nokia PCSuite, then it connects using my standard '3' Connection i would use if i was using it on the phone itself...How will the network know...


They will see your UserAgent of the browser on your computer as I'm sure most of their connections are proxied.

Hadn't thought of that one, although, I can set my phone browser to show up as various browsers so they couldn't use that against you.

Some sites format/have different content depending on what the browser is, it's mainly to switch between mobile and desktop content.

really? thats quite a clever idea. Back to the original topic though even with excuses like that I'm sure they have powers within your service contract to tell you to GTF

They do, I've been using tethering a bit recently and was wondering how they'd be able to tell.

On my phone I just have a program that shows as a wireless access point.

To the network it will look exactly like any other app, eg google maps, apart from downloading gazzillions of data I can't see how they would ever know.

yeah just depends what systems it has to go through before it hits the actual Internet, out of interest, can you only use www or can you ssh/ftp/smtp too?
