How To Use A Cell Phone As A Modem

[AussieKenny]

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.

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.
