The Internet is an integral part of the life of a modern person. We go to work - we look at the phone, in the office we sit at the computer, and even at home with a glass of beer we watch TV - more and more often also via the Internet, and not the central antenna. But we’ll talk about TV and strong drinks another time, and today I would like to focus on mobility - how to connect the Internet via a phone, because almost no one can live without it today. In fact, connecting a modern phone, smartphone or tablet to the Internet is not that difficult. There are even several methods, which we have already discussed in some articles, and today we will put them all together so that a complete picture emerges.
How to connect mobile Internet to your phone?
The simplest and affordable way connect internet to mobile phone- This is the so-called “mobile Internet” service, which is provided by absolutely all mobile operators. In all modern tariffs, it is already tied to the number by default, but it is worth considering that for accessing the Internet the subscriber is charged an additional fee - each operator has its own.
It should be noted that in recent years all leading operators have tariffs with an included volume package mobile internet traffic, which is very convenient and profitable. For example, I use Tele2, which has a cool option - exchanging minutes for gigabytes, aimed specifically at those who speak little but access the Internet a lot via phone - I wrote a separate article about it, read it!
To activate mobile Internet you will have to do a few simple steps on your phone. On a standard “naked” Android you need to go to the “Settings> Additional settings> Mobile networks" and activate the "Mobile data" mode.
Because I'm currently using Xiaomi smartphone, which works on branded shell MIUI, then I can show you how to turn on the Internet on Xiaomi. You need to go to “Settings” and open the “SIM cards and mobile networks", where to activate the toggle switch "Mobile Internet".
By the way, there is also a traffic setting here - if you know that the limit free internet is limited, then by entering the value of the volume provided to you according to the terms of the tariff, the phone will track its overuse and report it using notifications.
In order to disable mobile Internet, accordingly, you need to turn off the “Mobile data” mode.
What to do if the Internet on your phone does not work?
There may be several reasons why the Internet does not work on your phone. Most often, for some reason, Megafon subscribers ask about this, but this also happens with Beeline, MTS and Tele2. I would recommend checking your mobile hotspot settings. There is a situation where the settings of cellular operators go wrong - for example, if you bought your device overseas and it has default configurations for another provider, or you often change SIM cards and the phone does not have time to adapt to them.
To correct the error, you will have to manually enter the parameters to correctly connect your phone to the Internet. This is done in the same section “Settings - SIM cards and mobile networks”, where you need to click on the name of the SIM card of your phone
On this page, you can change the settings for connecting your phone to the Internet one by one.

Internet on your phone via WiFi
Another simple way to access the Internet from a smartphone is perfect if you are at home, in the subway or in a cafe - this is WiFi. There are two options here to configure the distribution of the wireless signal.
- If you have already read articles on this blog, then you probably know how a phone connects to the Internet via wifi router. No? Then it will help you - scroll it all the way to the subsection about accessing the network from a mobile phone.
- The second one is also not quite complicated. If you do not have a router, then we can use personal computer or laptop. In order to do this, read about how to share a computer connection and allow other devices to access it.
When we talk about these two methods, we mean connecting your phone to the Internet via Wi-Fi. To enable it on your phone Android versions above 4.0, just go to “Settings” and move the slider to the active state.
After this, you will see a list of networks available for connection. You will choose either a network with a password you know, or a public network that is open to access.
The same thing happens with the iPhone - the “Settings” section, the Wi-Fi slider to the active position.
Internet connection via Bluetooth
Finally, the last option for connecting the Internet to your phone is via Bluetooth, connecting it and a computer that has the Internet. The method is a little specific, since you will need additional software, a lot of settings and super-user rights (root access) on your mobile phone - it’s easier to do this using one of the above. However, for those interested, it will be discussed in a separate post. Wait!

Thank you! Didn't help
Modern phones are capable of performing the most different tasks and greatly simplify our lives. For example, you can use your phone to connect the Internet to your computer. In this article we will look at exactly this case.
Method number 1. Phone as a point Wi-Fi access.
If you have a laptop or your desktop computer equipped with a Wi-Fi module, then for you the most in a simple way Connecting the Internet to your computer via your phone will be a Wi-Fi hotspot. Modern phones can create Wi-Fi access points and distribute the Internet through them, which they, in turn, receive from mobile operator using , 3G or LTE.
In this article we will demonstrate how this is done using an example. operating system Android. First you need to open Android settings and find a section there called “Other networks”. In some cases, this section may have a different name. For example, on phones with original Android shell it's called "More".
In the “Other networks” section, you need to open the “Modem and access point” section (this section may be called “Modem”, “Access point”, “Modem mode” or “Connecting an access point”).
In the “Modem and access point” section, enable the “ Mobile point access."
After enabling this feature, your phone will create a Wi-Fi hotspot. In order to connect to it, you need to look at the name of the Wi-Fi network and password. To do this, open the “Mobile access point” section.
IN this section The name of the access point and its password will be indicated. Using this data, you will be able to connect to the created Wi-Fi hotspot and access the Internet on your computer.
Method number 2. Phone as a USB modem.
You can also use your phone as a USB modem. In this case, you can connect the Internet to your computer via your phone even if there is no Wi-Fi module. At the same time, using your phone as a USB modem is even easier than as a Wi-Fi access point. Below we will demonstrate how this is done using an Android phone as an example.
First you need to connect your phone to your computer with via USB cable. After the phone is detected by the system, you need to open the Android settings on the phone and go to the “Other networks - Modem and access point” section, just as we described above. In this section you need to enable the “USB modem” function.
After this, your system should automatically detect the USB modem and connect. Usually, after enabling the “USB modem” function, the Internet appears on the computer within a couple of seconds.
Mobile Internet is still quite an expensive and slow way to connect to world wide web. Therefore, use it as the main Internet connection for desktop computer quite inconvenient.
However, there are times when there is simply no other option. For example, during a vacation trip or a breakdown of the main Internet provider. In such cases, you have to resort to using the mobile Internet. In this material we will talk about how to connect a computer to the Internet via a mobile phone.
The easiest way to connect your computer to the Internet via a mobile phone is to use the Hotspot function. Most modern smartphones have this feature.
After enabling the Hotspot function, your mobile phone will start working like , creating Wi-Fi network with access to the Internet. In order for the Internet to work on your computer via your mobile phone, you just need to connect to this Wi-Fi network.
It should be noted that using the “Access Point” function has a number of disadvantages:
- Not every mobile phone supports this function. As a rule, only advanced smartphones provide this opportunity.
- Using the Hotspot feature results in more fast discharge mobile phone battery.
- Using the “Access Point” function leads to increased consumption of Internet traffic.
- To connect to an access point, a Wi-Fi module must be installed on your computer.
Mobile phone as a modem
The second way to connect a computer to the Internet via a mobile phone is to use the mobile phone as a modem. Unlike "Access Point", this method Works with most modern mobile phones.
Since this method of connecting to mobile internet quite complex we will look at it step by step.
Step No. 1. Connect your mobile phone to your computer.
Connect your mobile phone to your computer using a cable or . After connecting, install a program to synchronize your mobile phone with your computer. This could be the Nokia Suite program, if you have a Nokia phone, or the program Samsung Kies, if you have a Samsung phone. If your phone came with a driver disc, install them too.
After connecting and installing all the necessary programs, your mobile phone modem should appear in Device Manager.
Step #2: Create a new Internet connection.
Once you have connected your mobile phone to your computer, you can begin creating a new Internet connection. To do this, open Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center and shared access.
In the “Network and Sharing Center” window, click on the “Set up a new network connection” link.
After this, the “Set up a network connection” window will open in front of you. Here you need to select “Set up a telephone connection” and click on the “Next” button.
In the next window you must specify the number to dial, username and password. This data will be used by the modem to connect to the Internet. To find out your dialing number, login and password, contact your mobile provider.
After entering all the data, click on the “Connect” button. If you did everything correctly, your computer should connect to the Internet.
This happens: you urgently need to connect to the Internet on your computer, but for some reason the network does not work. I only have a smartphone at hand Android based, and there is no modem that could act as an access point. Is it possible to do something about this? Another way is that a smartphone can work as a modem. You will also need USB cable for connecting a smartphone and a computer to each other.
Actually, this is the cable itself:
Connect your smartphone to it, and the cable to an available USB port on your computer. This must be done.
Turn on mobile internet.
Now open Settings on your smartphone.
Tap on the “More” line in the “Wireless Connections” section.
Here you turn on the USB modem using the switch.
Actually, this completes the process - the computer should connect to the Internet automatically. All you need to do is launch your browser and open the desired page.
However, practice suggests that everything is not always so wonderful. If the Internet is not connected, you may need to turn it on manually. To do this, go to the “Network and Sharing Center” through the control panel and find a new connection.
Right-click on it, then when the menu appears, click on the “Enable” line.
The Internet should connect.
If you double-click on a connection, you will see information about it, including traffic consumption.
There is another way to connect - through Internet distribution from a smartphone. This is the way we are. As practice suggests, it is relevant in most cases for laptops that can be connected to an access point via Wi-Fi.
Articles and Lifehacks
This instruction will tell you how to use the Internet from your phone to your computer via USB - using a data cable and the appropriate settings on your phone and computer.
Windows 7 will be used as the base operating system, the settings of which can be easily adapted to both earlier and older versions.
Configuring mobile device settings
- First you need to set a certain configuration for your mobile device;
- You need to go to the settings section and there to the section wireless networks, enter “Modem Mode” and check the “USB” item;
- Next, you should turn off the running network screens and connect to the mobile Internet.
Date cable and drivers
Now we connect the data cable to the mini USB port of the mobile phone and to the USB socket of the computer.In this case, in most cases, the necessary driver programs will have to be installed independently. Otherwise, they will need to be installed manually.
If everything is connected successfully and correctly, the screen will display a corresponding notification.
PC Settings Configuration
Next you need to configure the PC:- To do this, you need to go to the “Control Panel” (Start menu) and set its viewing mode to “Large icons”;
- Then enter the “Modems and Phones” section, where a request may appear specifying the geographic location (here you can write anything you like and click confirmation);
- After this, the required “Modems and Phones” directory will become available, from which you can go to the tab with modems;
- Here you need to find in the proposed list the model of the used mobile device, which in this case acts as a modulation/demodulation block, and by activating it go through the “Properties” section;
- In the directory that appears, you need to go to the section for additional communication parameters and enter the following code in the initialization line: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet";
- Now you need to close everything through confirmation open windows(OK) except for the main setup, in which you should go to the “Sharing Control Center”, and from there to “New Settings” network connection", selecting the connection settings via phone option;
- Then click “Next” and select the required modem from the proposed list, after which a form for entering data will open;
- Here you do not need to specify a password and username, but only the name of the operator used, as the connection name, and telephone number;
- Now you only need to activate the connection with confirmation and, after it has been successfully established, you can click on the network overview button, after which the default browser with a functioning Internet should open.
On each individual phone there may be software differences in the menu from those indicated in this manual, but they will all be intuitively similar.
If the connected phone uses more than one SIM card, then the Internet connection will come from the card of the first value.
The APN must be specified correctly in the settings, and the tariff must allow connection to the network.
