Follow this instructions the only thing that changes is your carrier settings.

Modem link via Bluetooth for Windows Smartphones

This is a brief tutorial on how to do a modem link with the MPx 220 via bluetooth. This is for connecting to Cingular's GPRS network.
I highly suggest that you have a unlimited data plan before tethering your computer.

1st: Pair your phone to the computer, windows will recognize the phone and install "Standard Modem over Bluetooth Link"

2nd: Go to Control Panel, Modems and Phones and confirm, if its not there try adding it via the add button.

3rd: Highlight "Standard Modem over Bluetooth Link" and click the Properties button. Then select the Advanced tab.
Type in the string you see in the image.

4th: Create a new dial up connection, and make sure you use "Standard Modem over Bluetooth link" mine picked this automatically because its
the only "modem" I have.

5th: In the username field type: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM, in the password field type: CINGULAR1 make sure both are in all caps.

Type *99# in the Dial: field and press connect

this was an easy set up but have noticed that it is half the speed of the usb, can this be changed or is this the max for bluetooth???

for me the modem connects
but all the pages never loads.
is it cuz i have the 5.99 t-zone plan? thanks

[alfredtv]

mine connects but the usb cable connects 2x faster

[cuboosh]

do you notice pages loading faster connecting via usb? or do they load the same as using the BT? i noticed i get alot of timed out connections on certain pages!
