Advice Wanted On Bluetooth And The Internet

[Nat Hunt]

I wish to purchase a laptop and have wireless access to the internet anywhere in the Uk. Rightly or wrongly as I understand it I need a mobile with bluetooth to complement the laptop. Is this right and is it merely a matter of dialling your ISP and getting a signal or is there more to it than that. Do I need any extra equipment ?

I thought looking at the heading that this was another DENTIST thread :lol:


NAT HUNT I would say your getting the two confused bluetooth sends the signal from your server PHONE i.e. ORANGE etc etc to your earhole and back again via a microphone........... its as far as I know nothing to do with a LAPTOP these are two seperate pieces of technoligy but not having a LAPTOP and knowing its new capabilities I may be wrong but logic tells me also what I have stated here??????

You can of course send emails from your PHONE or pictures or video and vice versa by putting in the email address.....
Hope this helps

your LAPTOP works Independently to your PHONE you need to register with a server ISP who supplies the link to your laptop the same as ORANGE etc etc etc supplies your signal to your phone...........

If your mobile phone has GPRS, you should be able to use it to connect your laptop to the internet. The actual connection between your mobile phone and laptop can be made using Bluetooth.

There's lots of info at:

I own a brand new mobile phone. All I can do on it is:

Text
Call
Play the front nine of Forest Hills Country Club in level par 37

I have yet to send a text, but when the big day arrives, I would feel confident about being up to the task.

I can play a game where a parachuter jumps into a target area. I don't play it very well.

I have used €43.78 in call credit since last Christmas, when my beloved got me the phone as a present.

The trick in the golf is to stay out of the rough. Very difficult to control a shot out of the long grass.

... and to keep your head down.

Yer man on my screen is very good at keeping his head down and still.

However, I'll note what you say and keep an eye on him in future, Mel.
