Hello. I am all new to this wireless internet on phones. But was wondering if you could help me. Basically I want to connect my laptop to my phone (via bluetooth) to the internet, I have a Sharp GX30i phone on the vodafone network (has GPRS), and my laptop has a bluetooth dongle ready. So, I installed the modem software on my laptop, and it has come up with Select modem driver - so I selected Bluetooth. Then under neath it says APN (#1 up to #5) then a blank space after (presumably for some more codes/numbers.) Then under neath this there is another option which says CSD Call - Either 'Via Analogue Line (V.32) or Via ISDN line (V.110). Can anyone suggest which one I choose, and if so, what do I do? Then after this the 'Dial-up network entry comes up, where there is a space for Connection Name (which is SHARP GPRS (bluetooth) by default, then 'Username' (which is blank) and password (which is also blank.) And then there is an advanced box.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you!!!!!!!!!

I have only ever got that to work on phones and every other phone I have used like this I have had to use the full AT command as the dialling string which is

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"

where the last parameter "apn" is your actual APN

that usually suffices but if you need the ful spec of this command read here

Ok right, well my actuall APN is apparantly pp.vodafone.co.uk, and the IP is 212.183... sommit, does that need to replace the IP in AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","pp.vodafone.co.uk"

the APN is the access point name and is a text value whereas CID is the numerical sequence number of the data account within the phone so really whether you use 1, 2 etc depends on the CID value of the data account which has the APN that you wish to connect to

in general you need to connect to a full GPRS data account which for vodafone means the APN is "internet" (no quotes)

is there a way to find out the CID value of the data account?

thats a wap APN whereas on vodafone you almost certainly need a full internet GPRS APN as I don't know of any proxy servers you can use with vodafone to get around the wap limits like you can on O2 pre paid

edit: on SE phones the CID is listed along with the data account info but on other phones I have used (like V3 etc) you simply have to count the data accounts from the first until you get to the one you want, starting at 1, and the count you reach gives you the CID value

thats why I prefer to use the command I gave as it always works no matter what phone
