How to use your phones 3G/4G connection to browse on your computer!



What is Tethering and will it cost me anything?

Tethering is a way to use your phones 3G/4G connection on your computer, this makes it easier for you to use internet on vacation/anywhere away from home.This WILL cost you money if you do not have a unlimited data plan on your phone. If you do not have a unlimited data plan, then I suggest you to keep a eye on the phone so you do not your data usage limit, if you do you will be charged money and it will not be my fault. If you do have unlimited data plan, browse away!


Easy 4 step Tutorial

Step 1: Go to [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and select whichever phone you have, in this case an android device because this post is for androids. During installation PdaNet will add an ethernet interface ("en2" in most cases) to your network list. If the network preferences window pops up, just selected "Apply" with the default DHCP settings

Step 2: Click on PDANET for the Android device. You should get this page(Spoil). Then click download for mac/windows. Click the Free download, The only thing with the free version is that you will not be able to visit crypted pages/Aka secure sites (Emailing site/Microsoft sites). You will have premium for the first 15 days.

When you have the app PDANet open you should see two options to click. They should say "Enable USB Tether" and "Enable Bluetooth DUN" Click on "Enable USB Tether" and make sure USB Debugging is Enabled.
