Topic: Internet connection via cell / mobile phone - Help?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I've seen a few posts on here about using a cellphone to create an internet connection in order to download from netserach and the like with VDJ while gigging...(I Think!) Can anyone tell me how do to this via my iphone, if that is indeed possible?

Most places I do gigs dont have wifi available so it means I can't do requests using netsearch, but if I could somehow utilise my internet (3g mainly depending on area) via my iphone that would be great. Cheers!

go to your provider and ask/look up "Tethering"..
All the Iphones, Androids, and blackberries are capable of it, but some providers require you to have a large data package before they let it work..

If your computer already has bluetooth built in, and your using windows 7, then its actually pretty easy..
If you need to use the cable, (depending on the phone) you may need to download software to help you with it..
 
Hi yes I have bluetooth, windows 7 and unlimited data package on iphone, what do I need to do?

Like Huey said, Jailbreaking is the way to go. If you're looking for a tethering app on Cydia, MyWi 5.0 is the way to go...
