64 Minutes to Get Online Using Your Pocket PC as your new Internet Access Provider
Ok, So I got tired of paying $12/h at a wifi internet cafe with no view when I'm paying $300 a night for my hotel room with a view but with no wifi. I normally have a EVDO Broadband Wireless Internet AirCard with me at all times but this time, I forgot to bring it. In fact, I'm not entirely sure where it is come to think of it. So with 2 pocket PCs in hand, the Cingular 8125 and the Audiovox ppc6700 from Verizon, I'm gunna get online over bluetooth.
I quickly found a RadioShack in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii that has a cheap $39 bluetooth dongle. I installed it into my IBM thinkpad BUT decided to CLOCK myself using the the stopwatch on my $12 Timex. Afterall, I tell everyone how much of a hassle it is to use a PDA as a DUN (Dial Up Networking) Modem. So this looks like a perfect time to give it a whirl and see how long this process REALLY takes... below are the times in HOUR:MINUTES:SECONDS format and the details of what I did in that time...
0:00 sec walked into hotel at 1:04 pm
2:45 sec tore open bt case from local maui radioshack and plugged in my ibm thinkpad
3:31 sec started driver install from cd
5:18 sec inserted bluetooth dongle
6:43 sec walked over to the air conditioner to figure out why my room was 84 degrees with 90% humidity
7:52 sec restarting computer since the driver install wants me to
12:12 sec started sending off some sms text messages and forgot about this bluetooth project
14:11 sec successfully paired my cingular 8125 to thinkpad
16:39 sec I’m lost. It says connected but when I try to transfer files it tells me that no device was found
19:33 sec I lied. I went to my pda mydocuments folder and clicknheld a jpeg file then selected BEAM. It then took me to a page where I could choose INFRARED or OTHER. I hit other and the Bluetooth transfer started. Cool. Now I can download the drivers onto my 8125 and move them to the laptop for full install ok… embarking on phase two…
22:45 sec just realized that I don’t have all the needed files online. Argh. I’ll have to pause the clock and put them online before continuing so that you get a realistic install schedule. Argh.
24minutes went by. I decided to call the office and ask for help. They put the doc and drivers online at:
http://wireless-internet-access-provider.com
22:49 sec started the download over EDGE network NOT EVDO. But only took 3 min
25:04 sec ok. Found the document on my pda 8125 and started sending to my thinkpad 2,703,231bytes being sent.
34:40 sec finished transferring the file to my thinkpad, unzipped it and sent the #2 application BACK TO THE PDA.
40:04 sec this is the tricky part. The earlier part you just had to do basic stuff and the install CD for your bluetooth dongle pretty much carried you here. This is where you have to do some detailed configs… I’ll elaborate here.
This is what I did in the last 5 minutes above.
turn off EVDO or EDGE. The easiest way to do this is the turn ON FLIGHT MODE then turn it back off. This way your data connection is broken. You WANT a data connection broken so that you PHONE can be a DIAL UP MODEM (ahhhh!) – If you’re currenly online, which you had to be to download the software, you can't dial out.
Create a new Dial Up Networking Account. In XP go to Start > My Network Places – RIGHT MOUSE to select PROPERTIES > NETWORK TASKS / Create New Network Connection > NEXT > Connect To Network at my Work Place (dial up)
Then enter: *99# as the dial up number to call or if you are using a Verizon Cell PDA then enter #777
in the following screen enter WAP@CINGULARGPRS.com with password “cingular1” or enter your10digitphonenumber@vzw3g.com and vzw for the password in these fields
1:04:51 sec IM ONLINE NOW! answered a few phone calls and sent out some maui mms picture messages to jealous friends then remembered that I’m actually doing a project. So I’d say I threw about 15 minutes of fudge time into the equation here.
Personally, I find that step by step instructions just get me confused so let me give you a 15,000 foot Mt Kilauea Perspective in checklist format.
1. Make sure you can transfer files between your PDA and your computer. Via Bluetooth
Install WinModem Onto Your PPC
2. Make Sure that your Internet Connection Is DEAD. You wanna be able to make an outgoing dial up phone call.
3. Create a New DIAL UP Networking Account using the call in numbers and login/pw above on your laptop
4. realize that most bluetooth software will WIZARD you through this process so you’ve probably done #4 already without knowing it if you just installed the Bluetooth system.
5. Run Winmodem in Bluetooth Mode so that your phone is ready to accept a DIAL command from your Laptop quicklink: http://wireless-internet-access-provider.com
6. then go to START > Connect To > EVDO/EDGE DUN (Dial Up Networking) connection you setup in #4 above.
6.5 PS... if you have trouble reconnecting, just restart your Pocket PC. Your Bluetooth settings should stay put so you wont have to fiddle with it any more. Of couse, if you want better battery life, you really oughta turn OFF bluetooth when you're not using DUN.
7. If you have any questions askem at http://wireless-internet-coverage.com/forum for answers. Happy Traveling!





1. Never outcall a 6 foot tall "female" massage therapist to your room. 2. Never get drunk while your wallet is sitting on the bar (especially if the profile of a thick stack of $1oo bills is clearly visible). 3. People will PAY YOU CASH if you install a mobile
So offer them an alternative. When they call you, tell them you only accept cash and give them a unique Login and PW. You can create up to 10 unique user accounts with an enterprise grade router called the
You may not be able to cover your whole $750 Four Seasons Suite bill but it sure is nice to be able to slough off that $14 martinii bill passively. Go ahead, try it, it may not be a cash cow for you but even cash calves are nothing to sneeze at.
