samsung i730 laptop modem
i posted this in the samsung forume but that place isn't exactly hopping so i will try in here. I have a samsung 1730 and sunscribe to the 45 dollar data package. Can i hook this up through bluetooth or the serial cable and get my laptop onto the web? I have had heard different standpoints that verizon allows this or verizon does not allow this but my simple question is how can i do it if possible.

As long as you have a national access data package, which it sounds like you do....you can use a data cable with your phone to hook your laptop up to the web.....hope this helps and happy surfing! 😉

I have the data pack, is there any special setting or anything i need to change on the headset or should it be pretty simple to set up.

it's not though the headset....you need to purchase a data cable kit. In the kit is all the software you need to get hooked up.Just hook up the cable though your phone to you laptop.

Your I730 can be used as a modem, BUT, the $44.99 PDA plan does not cover that usage, that plan is unlimited internet on the PDA only, when connected to your laptop you would use more bandwith. In the fine print and all the terms and conditions brochures you got when you signed up it states that if you use the phone other than the way the plan is setup Verizon reserves the right to disable said feature. In short, NO, you can't use your I730 as a modem otherwise they will disable your EVDO capability. It basically comes down to a bandwith issue. It's an issue they're working on to come to a suitable settlement for everyone. Just be forewarned.

tech support told me as long as it was resonable usage and i didn't have it on 24x7 it would be no big deal. I am not looking to replace my home isp i just want it for when i travel here and there. And since verizon is whoring out their evdo to ampd mobile for multimedia purposes i doubt they are having bandwidth issues.
