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 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.
To use a Bluetooth phone as a modem for your device
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >
Connections.
2. Tap Add a new modem connection.
3. Enter a name for the connection.
4. In the Select a modem list, tap Bluetooth.
5. Tap Next.
6. If the phone appears in the My Connections list, skip to step 11.
7. If the phone does not appear in the My Connections list, tap
Add new device, and follow the remaining steps.
