+Pirate & Crafty Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I just bought a PDA with Bluetooth and my Cell phone has Bluetooth. The Cell is the Motorola E815 and the PDA is Tungsten E2 My question is can I actually use the PDA to dial my ISP using the Cell phone as a modem? By the looks of things I can, but the problem I'm having is that the PDA sees the Cell, The Cell sees the PDA looking for it, but it asks for a security code and they just won't link up together. Any ideas? The PDA has the code set, but when I enter the same code in the cell it just won't link? Anyone? Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I think the default code for all bluetooth devices is 0000. However, you also have to do some other things to the phone. One of them is to enable dialup access. I have the older V710 and have data working with a Pocket PC, however, the V710 was easier to get working as Verizon (if that's your carrier -- you didn't specify) added a few more restrictions on the E815. Anyhow, I don't know exactly what to do, but would point you to www.howardforums.com for the answer. Visit the Verizon subforums and you'll find a wealth of information on people's experiences getting this to work. Quote Link to comment

I hope that isn't it? Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 No, I'm pretty sure that people got it to work, but had to jump through some hoops. I know for a fact that you have to enter a secret code string -- something like ##dialup. Then, you should make sure you read up about differences between usign 1xrtt (about 100kb/s data) and whatever Verizon calls it's broadband (about 400-500 kb/s). The V710 can only use the 1xrtt network and apparently Verizon isn't too upset about people using their minutes for accessing data this way. I've seen mixed advice about using the broadband, however. I think I read that you can call Verizon and have broadband removed from your plan if you have an E815 so it will only use the 1x network. Not entirely sure, though, so you gotta head to howardforums. Quote Link to comment
