Internet connection yan via GPRS. same principle as PLDT WeRoam. the only difference is that you are using your phone as a modem, connecting to the Internet, instead of doing a dial-up or a WiFi search.

your phone can connect to the internet via GPRS and it can also browse (using the WAP browser or an Internet browser). what this does is just transfer the browsing to your computer instead of the phone.

yes... the rate is P 10/30 minutes.

and this can be done via a direct cable connection (which is sometimes included with the phone) or via BT. although the latter offers a more stable connection.

don't expect speed though. connection speed averages around 9 kbps.... pang mobility lang talaga.

Very well explained, happy_gilmore

Any of these three connections would do. Since my laptop has no infrared, I either use the cable or bluetooth.

I agree.. Im using my n70 to connect to internet, 3G kasi kaya mabilis there are two ways to connect, you must have a bluetooth or a usb data cable and the most important thing is you are a smart subscriber, it will cost you P10.00/30 minutes tipid na, ok pa diba? The problem I got so far is, I couldnt access yahoo messager..

Same problem with YM access.

I think I read in tipidpc or pinoypc before that you need to change one of your connection setting for it to work with ym. firewall with no proxies?

[batang_raon14]

Yup, punta ka lang sa PREFERENCES ng YM, go to CONNECTION, and select FIREWALL WITH NO PROXIES and click OK. Oks na oks na yan.
