I’m gonna show you on this tutorial how to surf the internet with your mobile phone (Symbian – Nokia) wihout extra charging your bill.

It is a tutorial i will show how to connect your Symbian mobile phone to internet via bluetooth.

I will post here only few steps, but at the end of the page I will pun a address where you can find the full steps and some troubleshooting.

Let’s start:

First you must have a laptop with a bluetooth device, or a bluetooth USB adapter.

Find out the COM-Port associated with the Bluetooth-Software

 Next you’ll need to install a modem. Go to Control Panel-> Phone and Modem Settings -> Modems ->Add. Check the box “select modem manually“ and choose the “direct communication cable“. Now you see a list of COM-Ports. Choose the one you looked up earlier.

Open the properties for the “Communications cable between two computers” that was created for the Bluetooth connection.

Go to the modem tab and set maximum port speed to max (115200). This will increase the speed from the default 19.2Kbs to 115.2Kbs.

Now we’ll set up an incoming connection: At the Network connections page choose “New Connection Wizard“. Choose Advanced Connection->Accept incoming connections or just incoming connection (depends on your Windows version). Select the “Communication cable between two computers” that you have added just now.
On the next screen, choose “Do not allow virtual private connections”. Now you’ll have to add the user you specified in the phone settings. Also assign the password entered on the mobile. You may also choose to allow devices to connect without password. To do so, check the following after you finish setup on the wizard.

In the next dialog you are presented the network protocols. Open up the TCP/IP properties and select the “Allow callers access to the local network“. If you want to have the IP assigned by DHCP or manually is up to you. Windows 2000 users specify the IP range manually, since the DHCP feature doesn’t seems to work. For manual IP settings, you can specify any range of your IP depends on your usage. Here I will allow four connections to my host computer.

Activate routing on your computer. Open up the Registry editor by clicking Start -> Run and type “regedit.exe“.

In Registry Editor, locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Set the following registry value:

Value Name: IPEnableRouter

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value Data: 1 (Default: 0)

A value of 1 enables TCP/IP forwarding for all network connections that are installed and used by this computer. 

Quit Registry Editor.

Reboot your machine to apply the settings!
