No, I didn't mean GPRS here. What I want to know is that is there any way which we could use the mobile phone as an interface for the PC to get connected to the net.

I got this crazy idea when i installed a bluetooth device into the pc. then there was a new connection named 'Bluetooth Dial Up Network connection' automatically created in network connections folder. and also there was a bluetooth DUN modem & a bluetooth fax modem dirvers installed into the system.

will I be able to connect my phone to the pc via bluetooth and then go online using it? if so, then what should the ISP be. can I use any ISP available in srilanka? how fast the speed would be be?

    I don't think its cheap, even if you managed to get some sort of connection you may be charged with the outgoing charge of your mobile service provider + charge for your ISP and your speed will be the usual dial up speed connection.

    Accessing internet via GPRS will cost you a fortune!.....And getting a W-Fi router and a W-Fi enable phone will also cost a fortune!......Wait till Airtell arrives!....When i was in India i used Airtell they have a package..Its only 100(Indian RS) per week and you get ~20kbps bandwidth.....via GPRS on mobile

    This is NOT about asking for HELP....:no:

    I'm just looking around to see if there is way to go online using a phone and discuss about available wireless connection methods in Srilanka....
