Connect to the Internet via bluetooth or usb from your laptop to your RAZR V3xx

Wanna know how to connect to the internet for free via bluetooth from your laptop to your razr v3xx in Windows Vista?

Step 1: Make sure you have bluetooth turned on in your computer. If you don't have bluetooth you can buy a usb bluetooth adapter at any wal-mart stores.

Step 2: Turn on bluetooth on your RAZR V3xx for discovery

Step 3: Go to the bluetooth devices and click add device

Step 4: Complete adding your RAZR bluetooth device

Step 5: Go to NoCharge.com and pick a phone number to dial

Step 6: Go to control panel and click on set up connection

Step 7: Click set-up a dial-up connection and click next

Step 8: Click on standard modem over bluetooth link and click next

Step 9: Copy and paste the phone number you have obtained from nocharge.com and add the prefixes *99# such as *99#(123)456-7890

Step 10: Enter the username as guest and password as password

Step 11: Click connect and viola! It should tell you that it's registering your computer on the network. Open your favorite browser and start surfing! You can do the same thing over USB as well. The only difference is USB has a 12Mb/s bandwidth while your bluetooth link is only 921Kb/s. I did a throughput test and I got 1.6Mb/s download and 300Kb/s upload via USB and only 700Kb/s download and 256Kb/s upload via bluetooth
