    W995 + Laptop Internet Connection

    Hi,

    I have a Sony W995 mobile phone on an Orange Dolphin Pay Monthly contract which gives me 500mb worth of internet browsing per month.
    Can I use the phone as a wireless\wired device, connecting my laptop to the internet? Or is this 500mb just for the phone?
    The reason for asking this here is that I contacted Orange and the rep said no, without any further reason.
    Apologies in advance if this is a daft question.

    HG

    According to the terms of the contract your probably aren't allowed to use the phone as a modem and share the internet with other devices. There's nothing technically stopping you, companies just like to charge more for a different data package which does exactly the same thing!
