The ability to access the Internet using a Bluetooth equipped
cellular phone is something that most people have an interest in doing.
Having a Bluetooth cellular phone provides a huge advantage to mobile
users. They have the option to access the Internet from anywhere without
the need of a WiFi hotspot, landline phone for a modem, Ethernet connection or
another PC available with Bluetooth access. These users have the freedom
to get on the Internet from the car, boat or any other place where a wireless or
physical connection is not possible. In order to use this you must make
sure that you have wireless data service through your phone carrier. In
this section you must pair your phone to the PDA.
Make sure that your Bluetooth radio is active and your
cellular phone is in discovery mode so that it is visible.
Open Bluetooth Manager on the PDA. Select New.
Tap on 'Connect to Internet via phone' and tap Next.

Select the type of cellular phone that you have.
Chances are your phone may not be in the list. You can select the
default option 'Phone not in list'. For my particular phone the
Ericsson T68 matches very closely with my Sony-Ericsson T608. Tap
Next. The next screen gives some brief instructions on setting up the
Ericsson phone. Tap Next.

Your PDA will not try to detect any Bluetooth equipped
cellular phones within range. The PDA should find your cellular
phone. Tap on the detected phone and tap Next. The next screen
will prompt you for a passkey. I would recommend using a numeric
passkey which would be much easier to enter on your phone. Enter the
passkey and tap next. Your phone will then alert you that a connection
is attempted and if you want to accept it. Accept the
connection. It will then prompt you to enter a passkey. Enter
the same passkey you entered on the PDA.

Once the passkey is entered both devices will be paired and
a shortcut icon will be created. This time tap twice on the shortcut
icon. A Dial-Up connection window will appear. Tap on New
Connection and tap on OK.

In the New Dial-Up Connection window enter your information
to connect to the internet through your service provider. In my case I
am using SprintPCS. The phone number to connection to the Vision
service is #777. This is a local call. Tap OK.
NOTE: Connections to other carrier networks are as follows:
Verizon: #777
T-Mobile: #99
AT&T: *99#
The network Login screen will then appear. For SprintPCS customers
leave the User name and the Password blank. For Verizon customers use
<your phone number>@vzw3G.com as the User name and vzw as the
Password. For T-Mobile customers leave the User name and the Password
blank. For AT&T customers type in 'A' as the User name and 'A' for
the Password. For all carriers leave the Domain field blank.
Since I don't have any other service than SprintPCS I cannot verify other
carriers. All of the info that I have included was based on
research. Tap on the OK button.

Your PDA will now attempt to connect to your carriers
service based on the information that you provided. If successful you
should see your phone dialing to the carrier to connect. Once
connected your shortcut icon in the Bluetooth Manager will have green
arrows. You should then be able to surf the Internet via PIE or access
any other Internet services.

If you have an ISP that you want to use to access the Internet
then the process is the same. Instead of using the phone number to access
the cellular carriers network (in my case #777) you would just enter the phone
number of the ISP to access. Then you would have to enter your User name
and Password that you use for your ISP's account. The PDA will then dial
the ISP's number using your cellular phone.
