This article explains how to access the internet using a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone connected to a computer.

How to Get Internet With a Bluetooth-Enabled Cell Phone

Using your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone as a modem for internet access on your laptop is great in a pinch when there’s no Wi-Fi service available or your regular internet service goes down. However, all the data downloaded to and uploaded from your laptop is using your phone’s data plan. Keep an eye on data usage to avoid unexpected overage surcharges or data caps.

This method pairs your phone with your computer, connecting them over a Personal Area Network (PAN).

  1. Activate Bluetooth on your phone (usually found under the Settings menu) and set your phone to be discoverable or visible to other Bluetooth devices. If you’re on an iPhone, turn on Bluetooth from Settings >Bluetooth. Android devices enable Bluetooth through the drop-down menu at the top of the screen. Pull down the menu and tap the Bluetooth icon.

If you can’t find the Bluetooth program manager, try using your computer’s search utility to find a program with the word Bluetooth anywhere in it, since you might be unknowingly using special Bluetooth software.

If you aren’t prompted on your laptop for the type of service to use with your Bluetooth phone, try going into the options menu of your Bluetooth application to find that setting.

What You Need

Only a few things are needed to get your laptop up and running with internet from your phone:

  • Bluetooth-enabled cell phone
  • Bluetooth adapter (built-in or external dongle) for your laptop
  • Data plan from your mobile provider

There are two alternatives to this method, including using Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking and your wireless provider’s login information to tether your phone to your computer. The easiest route, however, may be to use tethering software like PdaNet for smartphones or Synccell for regular phones, because these apps don’t require you to make many settings changes or know specifics about your wireless provider’s technology.
