ACCESSING INTERNET ON CELL PHONE
|
< Older | Newer >
In the USA we call them a cell telephone, in Europe or most of the world they call them a mobile, in Germany they call them a Handy. Any name it is the same and sometime they are close to the same, but as always in the world as the Thai would say,
“SAME SAME.”
But different.
I am annoyed and sometimes cannot be bothered with the noise of people telling me how to do something that does not work. Pat a writer lady came to Thailand and wished to access the internet over her new Motorola Cell phone that the vender told her would work anywhere in the world. I have people telling me about these global solutions, or world solutions for wireless, mobile phones, satellite telephones. I really wish these global companies would tell the globe.
The bottom line is when someone tells me it will work anywhere in the world I know they have not every left their country. Maybe they mean the biggest cities in the world and the world is only the USA and Europe. But for the rest of the world it does not exist.
I got more curious because Pat wanted to access and I hate to talk to Thai people about anything other than food or maybe massage. After those subject life become impossible. To discuss something complicated is just a way of banging my head on the wall, but me and Andrew went and helped Pat the other day talk Thai, or better yet bang our heads on the wall.
WHAT I LEARNED
You need to have a telephone that GPRS ready and IF you have a wireless telephone you need to have Bluetooth ready to make it work. I suppose you can use a cable of some form. As best I can tell it will not work anywhere in the world for access and you may be able to buy
MY INTERNET DESIGN FOR ACCESS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO INTERNET!
COMPUTER NEEDS
WIFI - A computer that has wireless feature already inside.
CELL PHONE NEEDS
1. BLUETOOTH
(Connect wireless enabled computer to wireless cell phone.)
2. GPRS
(Makes it so the cell phone can receive internet pages.
INTERNET ACCESS
I will dial the USA long distance and download and upload my emails.
CELL PHONE ACCESS
I will buy a simm card or load my computer in the country I am inside of, they can unlock most of the time.
So a new project soon, so I can go to the jungle and not come back.
We did NOT get the new telephone to work for Pat because her telephone was too new, and the Thai system of internet access did not support her system.
