Establish a connection between your phone and a computer using a USB cable.
Before mobile broadband was invented, Internet connections were mainly via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable. A lesser known way to connect is by using a mobille phone. Many modern phones can be connected to a computer. This connection is mainly used for file transfer. However, with your manufacturer's PC Suite installed, you can use the connection to access the Internet.
