LG

I was wondering how do I use my LG rumor as a internet modem to my laptop. I am running XP, I have the USB cable, and whenever I try the phone as modem option it tells me I have to initiate dial up networking with my computer. I am not sure how to do any of this as it is new to me. Any help would be great, thanks!!

Thanks for your question. I don't have my Rumor readily available today but I will post up an answer for you tomorrow.

Rumor is not EvDO, so you dont have the ability to add a data plan to it so that you can use it as a wireless modem. However, the Rumor can be used as a dial up modem via Bluetooth. But without EVDO this will make DUN (Dial Up Networking) slowwwwwwwww.... Do you remember what it was like having a dial up phone modem? Regardless, your laptop will need to have Bluetooth or you'll need to purchase a USB Bluetooth dongle for your PC/Mac. DLink makes a good one. I believe there is a way to DUN with a USB cable on the Rumor however the same speed rules apply.
