Just wanted to report a usage of a cellphone to get an the Internet
The phone is a SAMSUNG SGH-T509 and cellphone service is through T-mobile
The Internet service is only for prepaid (not postpaid) contracts.
The cellphone is connected through a USB cable/dongle from MYBAT, the
SAM-T809.
I haven't yet worked out the details of usging the BlueTooth
capability of transferring files from the cellphone to PCs,
Details are below.
