Computer internet via android phone

ghinfo · 10-03-2009, 10:53 AM

Anyone know if it's possible to use an android phone as an internet modem for a computer? Sometimes I'd prefer to access the internet on a laptop when I'm out - can I achieve this by routing my internet access through an android phone?

(I could do this via bluetooth through a Sony Ericcson mobile to a mac - it must be possible to somehow link an android phone to a linux pc?)

AFAIK only through Wi-Fi tethering and you'll need to be rooted for that.

I would be very happy if someone proves me wrong!

i would suggest you do a search in the forums. i've seen reference to this topic several places.

Have a great afternoon!
