Sprint HTC Touch as a modem

**itouch24** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-26-2008, 12:10 AM

I used to have a treo 755 and used PDANet to use my cellphone to access the web via my laptop... is there a similar program that will allow my laptop to access the internet using my touch from sprint with no WiFi?

thankgs in advance !

PDANet will work via bluetooth/cable with the Touch as well.

Use ur touch as phone as modem aka tether. U can use USB or BT for wireless connectivity.

Does Sprint charge for tethering?

they say they charge, BUT THEY DONT, i work for sprint and never had one of my friends or customers charged for their tethering, as long as they have the data plan there good.

Yes it's a myth because when U go online with ur phone, U use the same IP when U go online tethering. It is difficult to detect especially when U r switching online usage between the two. Just set it to sprint PCS just to be sure.

WM6.1 and Wireless Modem
I recently upgrade my Touch to Windows Mobile 6.1 and since doing so, the wireless modem feature is acting up. More specifically, when I go to the Comm Manager, and then to Internet Sharing, set the PC Connection to "Bluetooth PAN", and click Connect, I end up with the following error message:

Error Code 67 Registration Failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again.

This did not occur with WM6.

Any thoughts?!

Thanks!
