6.6 Using Your Phone as a Modem

If you find yourself in a place without an Internet access for your computer, you can
connect your computer to the Internet by using your phone's data connection (G,
for instance).
Important
Note
You need a SIM card installed on your phone to use it as a modem for your computer.
1.
Make sure your phone's data connection is turned on. See "Turning GPRS/G
on or off" earlier in this chapter to learn how to turn on the phone's data
connection.
2.
Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
3. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
4. Select the Mobile network sharing check box.
Note
When using Mobile network sharing, the USB mass storage feature is disabled. Also,
you will not be able to use HTC Sync.
You need to install HTC Sync before you can use your phone as a modem. Refer
to "Using HTC Sync " in Chapter 9 for details.
