I have an android phone: an HTC wildfire. I have 2G internet activated on it. Is it possible to use this internet on my laptop? Has anyone done this yet?

Sometimes the restriction to connect to the services resides in the phone manufacturer or in the carrier.

If the service is not locked, you can go to Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Tethering & portable hotspot, and then select the method (USB tethering is preferable since hotspot drains your battery very fast).

If these options aren't available, your phone may be restricted and you may want to consider to replace your phone's firmware with a third party's one, like cyanogenmod

Hi,

All phones with Android 2.2 and above are having USB Tethering facility. So all one need to do is plug in the USB and check the notification bar on Android phone and change the charge only option to USB tethering.

Thanks

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) All you need is that when you connect your phone with usb it will ask for type of connection and then you must select nokia pc suite . Soon after selecting you will recieve a pop up on your f21 screen regarding setting up of a mobile broadband connection,there you follow the steps. After that your mobile broadband is ready to be used as an internet connection via bluetooth
