LG

I received a new notebook computer. When I'm traveling is it posible to access the internet thru my Vu? I already have Media Net thru AT&T and I'm trying not to have three devices with three different bills for internet service. I do not know the proper terms so I hope this makes sense. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you, Amanda

It should, it looks like it has the capabilities, but it's up to AT&T and the Plan you are on. I would call AT&T support and ask them if you can "Tether" the Vu to your PC for Data connection using your current Plan, or if you will need to upgrade to a real Data Plan... I think you would use the AT&T "Connection Manager" to make the connection, but support can help you with there software. The software is free to download from AT&T.

On the LG End you will need the USB drivers which are on this site at:

SOme times the Carriers discourage using your phone for Tethering, I know Sprint has locked this out of "Non Smart Phones"

Let me know what you find out!
