girlx Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 you should be able to use your phone as a modem- call AIS (1175) and tell them to send the GPRS info to your phone. then connect your phone to your computer via USB or bluetooth. you should be able to use nokia pc suite to set up your connection.... connect via the access number *99***1# and leave the username/pass blank. off you go.

goldfinger Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think, he has also to buy some internet connecting time. 20 hours at 100 baht, best you go to a mobile shop and they can do for you. But Bluetooth is not a very quick line......... If you have to work more with the inet, better go to IC center Lamai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Connection through 12call/AIS is most definitely 20 hours for 100 baht. Go over that tho and your costs will skyrocket. You do not have to go to a phone shop to buy it, just call 12call and they will charge your phone and set everything up. I didn't need to input any user name or password when using my phone as a modem and since the OP's phone is pretty advanced, he probably won't have to either. It is not super fast and I'd recommend going someplace with a fast connection to download Nokia PC Suite if you don't have it already. It is a fairly large program.

goldfinger Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I think, 20 hours at 100 Baht was the minimum to choose(not sure), but you can also buy 50 or 100 hours if you need. With *139 you can check your remaining time whenever you want. I bought definitely 20 hours, but they creditet to me 2400 minutes, maybe something like a promotion....

sbk Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I didn't need to input any access number or anything into my computer. I plugged my phone into my laptop, started up Nokia PC suite and the data was already there, input into the phone by 12call presumably. Clicked connect to the internet in PC Suite. And it connected without asking for any information at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
