Hi,

Can I link to the internet on my laptop via my mobile phone that has
internet access??? and if so, do you think the charges would be just
like using my mobile as stand alone ???

Thanks in advance.

Gary.

Probably?
My crystal ball is in for servicing so I can't tell what phone you have,
on what network, or tariff.

I can say that a Bluetooth connection will limit your connection speed
to around 1Mbps d/l, Whereas a USB lead wouldn't

This is called 'tethering' and whether you can do it depends on several
factors such as whether the laptop has Bluetooth, and whether your network
provider allows tethering.

They can be massively higher. See my blog post for an example:
