How to Connect to the Internet by a Mobile Phone
- 1). Purchase a mobile phone that supports Internet access. Select and contract a cellular service plan that supports Internet data transmission.
- 2). Access the Internet from your mobile phone using the web-access icon. Most Internet-accessible phones are equipped with a built-in icon-button that will access a web browser. You can then surf the Internet, accessing all necessary information, as you would any Internet browser, navigating with the mobile phone's keypad, touchpad or touchscreen.
- 3). Connecting to the Internet with your mobile phone is also possible using a 3G hotspot. Some new smartphones are equipped with the ability to create their own Wi-Fi hotspot. Activating the feature enables anyone within a radius dependent on the mobile phone and cellular service to use your Wi-Fi hotspot to connect to the Internet. Hotspots function like any public Wi-Fi network and you connect your wireless-enabled laptop or PC to the Internet by selecting the mobile-phone hotspot as your wireless network connection.
