Did some searching and couldn't quite find the answer to my question.
I've been using my Alltel 8130 as a modem for my PC & laptop for some time now...works great. All I needed to buy was a bluetooth usb kit(IVT Corporation USB Bluetooth adapater + BlueSoleil software) from RadioShack for $39.99. I run the software, bind my computer to my phone, then dial-up to the alltel data network. Speeds vary on reception...here at home my DL rate averages 16kbps due to poor signal(2-3 bars 1X).
Anyways...I was wondering if there was a way to configure my phone as a modem through USB cable instead of through bluetooth. I've got USB 2.0 and I would imagine the internet connection could possibly be a bit more reliable and faster via USB connection. Is this possible, and if so, how do I do this?
Thanks in advance!
