Nokia 6700 on O2 as a Dongle
in [UK Mobile]

From: Riddles on 20 Jan 2010 12:53 I get conflicting opinions as to whether I can plug my Nokia 6700 into my laptop and use it as a dongle for websurfing and emails. I would appreciate replies from anyone who has actually done it rather than just opinions, but all information would be gratefully received. The phone is on a �10 per month contract.

The handset is certainly capable of doing it, however your contract and what you are/are not allowed to do with it is probably going to be the limiting factor. Regards Jon

Looks like I need to contact O2 for their ruling. Has anyone else used the 6700 as a dongle? Regards, Riddles
