    I use my Nokia E71 on my three network as a modem whilst out and about and also at home if my home line is down all for my £5 a month internet add on. Im told they dont like it but not sure how they know, my data usage only ever says ' you have not used any data outside of your allowance'
    I have recently added a programme from Joikuspot that turns my phone into a wifi access point which is brilliant.

    I have an E63 on the three network, just wondering how you did this? Is it using bluetooth or a cable connection?

    thanks.

    thanks.

    I found the bluetooth was a real pain ( kept asking to accept the connection every few minutes) so tended to use use a cable, very simple set up using Nokia PC Suite and very reliable.

    I now use an application I bought for around £5 called Joikuspot which turns your phone into a wifi access point and my laptop sees it as a wireless network and connects that way.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..
