Q&A: Can a RAZR be used w Bluetooth on a laptop to access Alltel Mobile Web?
Question by echo_me_back: Can a RAZR be used w Bluetooth on a laptop to access Alltel Mobile Web?
I have a red Razr from Alltel, with unlimited Text Mesaging and Mobile Web. (this part’s tricky, it took three tries with Alltel to get the right combination of services.) The web is reasonably fast over EvDO network, and I would like to be able to use the phone as a Modem for my laptop via Bluetooth.
Does anybody know the correct combination of hardware, software and the steps to make it happen?
Is there a ‘dialup’ number, or does it just send the same as the OpenWave browser?

Mobile Web and using you phone as a modem to get on the internet are 2 different things. You would need to buy an additional service for this use. You would want to buy the USB cable as the Bluetooth will slow down your connection (the network is faster than what the Bluetooth can transmit to the laptop), causing a bottleneck.
