My appologies if this has been asked before. When travelling I currently use my Nokia with a USB lead and the Nokia PC Suite software for internet connection. I dont think the software is available for linux so are there any other options out there to allow internet browsing via the mobile?
Thanks Craig.
 
I have a nokia and I use it as an improvised modem -when I need to- with my linux laptop and also plan to do it with Pandora.

When you plug the phone to the computer via usb it asks you to choose between mass-storage or nokia-suite modes. You must choose nokia-suite operation mode, and then a device named /dev/tty0 gets available in the linux system that represents the phone modem (not only this device gets created, but this one is the only one that matters now).

Then you have to use a program like wvdial, for dialing using that modem, and its configured internet connection and voila!

This is my /etc/wvdial.conf file:
Code:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","gprs-service.com"
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
Username =.
Password =.
Stupid Mode = 1
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Compuserve = 0
Force Address =
Idle Seconds = 3000
DialMessage1 =
DialMessage2 =
Auto DNS = 1

With bluetooth its also possible. But slightly different way.
