Using your mobile phone for internet access

Here are the instructions for getting your laptop to connect to the internet via your mobile device. Of course you have to have the data service through your provider. Depending on the service you have you may or may not get charged for your connections.

1. Download and install Activesync on your PC (click here for the download from Microsoft).
2. Once you have Activesync installed, plug in your Wing to the USB cable and then into your PC.  This will detect and install some device drivers.
3. Once that is complete, unplug the Wing.
4. On the Wing, click on Start, Settings, then choose the Connections tab at the bottom.
5. Run the USB to PC program.
6. Check the box and then click ok at the top right.
7. Close the settings window.
8. Still on the Wing, Click Start, Programs, Accessories, Internet Sharing.
9. Plug the Wing back into the USB cable and to the PC.
10. First time the PC may install more device drivers – wait until they are all installed before next step.
11. On the Wing, be sure the PC Connection setting in the Internet Sharing program is set to USB and the Network Connection is on T-Mobile Data.
12. Click Connect at the bottom.
13. On the PC – Surf away!
That is all there is to it!
Let me know how it goes for you!
