Update: I highly recommend NOT to use Smart Unlisurf. Here’s why.
I don’t have a USB dongle from any of the big 3 telcos. I only have my N79 cellphone and since I can’t bring my Sky Broadband internet here in Davao, I am now using Smart Buddy Unli Surf.
I subscribed to their unli-surf for 1 week, 300 pesos for 7 days, used my N79 as an internet modem, and now I can surf the internet using my laptop with 3G speed.
How do you avail of the Smart Buddy Unli Surf? Simply follow the instructions at the Smart Buddy website here. After subscribing, you can now browse any site on your phone or use your laptop by using your phone as a modem.
How do you use your cellphone as an internet modem? It depends on your cellphone unit. For Nokia N79, all I need is the Nokia PC Suite. I connected my cellphone with Smart Unli Surf to my laptop via the USB cable, open Nokia PC Suite, open One Touch Access, selected Smart Philippines on the selection and clicked Connect. Here’s a screenshot of a successfully connected modem:
That’s all for now. This post is posted using Smart Unli Surf. 😉
Boss, broken link…
I might try this when I buy a new phone, I’ll get a 3g enabled phone…
im thinking of doing the same, but through Globe sim using my K800i 😀 I have a sony ericsson PC suite too pero dati tinatry ko, ayaw gumana. I’ll buy a globe tatoo sim and try this one out. Im expecting a good connection but not as good as far as speed is concerned (sabi raw ni DJ Moe e,HAHA), but we’ll see, i’ll post about it in my blog pag nagawa ko na to 😀
Mukhang masarap dyan sa davao ah.. kelan kaya ako makakarating dyan
I have a question, if for example i’ve tried this and I got a very high speed, does it mean I will have a high speed with smart bro?same location of course.. naalala ko kasi nung nagtanong kapatid ko sa smart, best way to check daw is pag malakas ang signal ng 3G mo sa cellphone, mabilis din daw ang speed ng smartbro sa location mo..
@babyface… i think they are right since smartbro plugit also uses the same 3g/hsdpa network of smart. kaya kapag walang 3G signal sa lugar nyo, don’t buy the smartbro plugit. pero kung mabilis yung 3g sa phone mo, same thing with your smartbro plugit.
Same here bro, im also using my nokia 3g phone for surfing. i think that it is the same with the usb dongle available. thanks!
@babyface
padagdag sa sagot ni marhgil, i second the motion on his answer. but the best way to know it is to borrow a device from your friends. im sure me friends kang meron. yun kasi ang ginawa ko sa haus namin, i tried both smart and globe, wala pa kasing sun 3g here sa gapo as of now. smart wins. thanks.
Guys meron lang akong isheshare sa inyo. iba ang ginagamit ng smartbro na frequency hindi tulad sa 3g na celfon. sa celfon 3g 2100, sa smartbro 3.5g 850 kaya mas mabilis ang smartbro plug it kasi hsdpa sya. kaya the best way is siguraduhin mo muna na may 3.5G na sa lugar nyo.
take Nhoel advice, borrow.
