How To Use A Cell Phone As A Modem

Featured Replies

I have a cell phone and fitted with a True Inter sim. When I hook it up to my PC via a USB cable the system finds a modem and installs it.

Now what?

When I go to setup a phone/modem connection the system asks for an area code and wont accept blank (the True dial up is *99# I think)

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Nokia N72 cellphone and I use it as a modem to go on the internet. I buy phone card of 200 baht for 50 hours internet (dtac). The 50 hours are valid for 1 month.

First a had to contact call center to activate.

Good luck

Hi kenny

What model is your phone?

On Win 7 and XP user name and password are blank and its dials *99#

How are you trying to set up the connection and what is your OS?

My phone is a "MyPhone Q21".

Not sold here in Thailand I don't think but popular in the rest od SEA.

It's a dual sim.

When I connect it to my PC via the USB cable, Windows XP sp3 finds it and installs it as a modem, no problem.

The sim I'm wanting to use is a True Inter.

I am pretty sure you need to establish a data account with Truemove before successfully accessing their network. You can do this either by calling *9000 or by sending the appropriate code to 9789.

I am not certain you can add data packages to the InterSIM, the terms and conditions are not quite clear, but you may be able to.

I found this re: GSM dial-up

Forget about using the TRUE SIM for Data. It's limited to half the speed of the other networks. Use HAPPY in the first instance or One2Call as a second choice. Use TRUE on where 3G in available. In your case, your phone is simply not capable.
