Use another Bluetooth phone as a modem

You can use another phone that has Bluetooth as a modem for your

device to browse the Internet or to transfer other information.
To do this, create a Bluetooth modem connection on your device and

then send information to the phone by using Bluetooth. The phone

relays the information over the mobile phone network and then sends

back to your device any information that you had requested over the

connection.
