I used to be with AT&T with my 8525 and then switch to Sprint which of course doesnt work with Sprint. So i ended up getting a Samsung Rant and dont exactly like the web browser so i was wondering exactly how i would go about sharing my data connection with the 8525 via blutetooth. I tried it once and this is what i did:
1. I went to settings and clicked on connection settings under the connections tab.
2. clicked on Add a new modem connection under "My ISP"
3. When i do that it asks to enter a name for the connection and to select a modem, so i select bluetooth as modem and click next.
4. Then it asks for the device the connection is on and i select my rant and hit next
5. then it asks exactly this and has a text box under it: "Enter the number exactly as it should be dialed. include extra numbers, such as an ouside line or credit card" didnt exactly know what to put here so i just put a few randon numbers in to see what next step would be
6. then it asks for user name password and domain....dont know what to put here so i just clicked finish
7. when i try to connect to it. it says connecting and a message on my rant says entering into bluetooth data mode, and the 8525 tries to connect for a minute and says connection failed and goes back to today screen.
So if anybody could tell me in detail what info it is that i need it would be great. and also under select modem drop-down box there is a selection called "cellular line(GPRS, 3G)" is it possible i could just put the info for the data plan in there and it connect to the sprint data plan if that is possible..if it is can you tell me in detail the information u need and how to do it......THANKS
