How to use your PDA / smartphone as a 3G Broadband modem – PDANet

Finally data plans on mobile phones are getting much more affordable – even to the point where some telcos are offering “All-you-can-eat” data which means you can download as much data as you want each month without any caps or additional charges. On top of this, networks are also getting faster with standard 3G connectivity allowing for 7.2Mbps, which is blistering fast compared to the dial-up connections of 5 or so years ago.

The question that many PDA / smartphones users ask is “how do I use my PDA / smartphone as a 3G broadband modem?” Attaching a laptop or any other data sucking device to your 3G phone is called tethering. This can be achieved via connectivity options such as USB, Bluetooth or WiFi. However some carriers actually charge you for tethering.

Solution: One way to avoid charges from your carrier and to use the fast broadband speeds offered by your 3G cellphone is to use PdaNet.

I’ve had this for several months now and I have to say it’s the best 30 bucks that I have spent in a while. Works perfect. I was able to drop my DSL at home and I save well over $30 every month and I’m totally mobile.

Eddie

Great product.

eclair

This has bailed me outta trouble more times than I can count out here in the west where cities are few and far apart. Even at home when the cable went out! Love it. Great for travel, one time fee, and ease of use make this a great bargain. Wherever you can get cell phone, you can use pdanet.

scott logan

Fantastic…..

Coleman

This is a wonderful product (you do need an unlimited Data plan)

DaVid

We all know why we buy PDANET and i’m willing to tell everyone I know about it because of that reason alone. This product is truly plug and play once installed. Mine reads 2.4 mbps and that is while i’m working in the basement of the hospital facility. I have a Sprint SERO plan which has unlimited data access included. My Mogul phone, PDANET and SERO plan are a perfect combination! Thank you PDANET!!!

DaVid

This will save you from an additional plan needed for tethering your phone. This product was very simple and quick to install on both my laptop and Mogul phone. I was able to achieve 2.4 mbps in the basement where I work. Mix this product with a Mogul and a sprint SERO plan, which has unlimited data and your mobile browsing is complete without the need for another device or another contract. It only took me one day to try this to decide I can’t live without it! Even my co-workers are interested in this product due to my demonstration. Oh yeah, you can set it to automatically connect once plugged in via USB; true plug and play after that baby!
