Bt Usb Wireless Adapter

[slippery when wet]

I have a bt wireless adapter for my computer and want to change service provider.

I was just wondering if this would work if I switch or if bt have set it up for only bt.

Thank you.

I look forward to your answers.

You'll have to elaborate a bit

Bluetooth (bt) is s system to connect devices over a very short distance with each other.

For example a bluetooth headset with a bluetooth phone.

Or a bluetooth phone with a computer.

If a computer does not have bluetooth, a little USB bluetooth adapter is used to enable your PC to talk with your phone (and use your phone as a modem to access the internet).

I have the feeling you're not really talking about bluetooth but some other adapter.

Either a wifi (802.11 b/g) wireless adapter with which you are connected with to a wifi access point, or a USB GPRS modem, with which you connect either to the AIS (one2call) or the Dtac GSM/GPRS network.

Put us in the right direction, so we can give more info!

Cheers

thanks for your reply.

I am actially talking about a wifi wireless adapter.

As my computer is about 4 years old I was not able to get wireless without ordering this from bt. Now however I want to change isp and was wondering if bt would have somehow locked this adapter so that it can only be used on a bt system only.

Thank you

p.s when I refer to bt I mean British Telecom and not Blue Tooth.

Thanks

Ah, that clears things up, I was thinking Thai related, so British Telecom didn't enter my mind

Normally Wifi hardware is not locked to a provider, but BT might have done this through the software included.

Normally with a wificard in your laptop, you should be able to do a scan for available hotspots, and chose any of them.

It'll then depend on the wifi hotspot provider how to get online, most will guide your browser to a log in screen where you provide a username and password, and allow you access on that.
