Use phone as a modem to access internet via GPRS on PC

First  make sure GPRS service is activated by your service provider before attempting to connect to internet.


Install PC suite software on Personal computer from the link http://www.nokia.co.in/support/download-software/nokia-pc-suites/compatibility-and-download#
This will provide all the required drivers for recognising the phone hardware.I am using Nokia 2730 Classic phone.

Connect phone to PC with the cable provided .I connected my phone to PC with the data cable to a USB port on PC.

In your phone , go to Menu-> Settings -> Connectivity ->Packet Data -> Packet data settings ->Edit active access pt -> Packet Data acc. pt. Write here airtelgprs.com

Now in your PC , go to start ->settings->control panel->network connections->make new connection->
for dialing to internet->my connection manually->connection name ->AIRTEL->phone number->*99***1# ->user name and password blank.

Then try connecting to the internet via PC.That should work.

Optional setting.->
In your phone , go to Menu-> Settings ->Configuration -> Default Config Sett.Choose here Mobile Office.
go to Menu-> Settings ->Configuration ->Preferred access pt. as Mobile Office.
