I have read many articles about this certain rSAP or remote Sim Access Profile that works via bluetooth. It allows phone kits that have a gsm antenna to connect to your phone and access the sim to authenticate and use instead of another independent sim. What I want to ask about this is that could the galaxy y (or another android phone in general) connect to another mobile phone's sim to access sim related functions?

Hi
i have a couple questions regarding internet access.
1. Is it possible to have gprs/3G internet access and share it to a pc via the X1's wireless card? I only have bluetooth and usb internet sharing option...
2. My sister has an usb 3G/HSPDA (7.2Mbps) internet access pen that uses a sim card and she conects it to her laptop to have mobile net with a 5GB monthly plan, she conects it to the pc via usb, the pc asks for the pin (dunno if it uses some username and password or not) and then the mobile company software has a conect button to get the internet access.
My question is, can i use that sim card on the X1 and use the X1 like that usb 3G pen? to have internet acces on the X1 and be able to share it to the laptop and benefit from the 5GB download plan (cause with my current sim card i only have a 100MB data tranfer plan, which sucks)
Thanks and sorry if this has been answered before
2. Yes you can. Works great
Not sure how USB 3G dongles work or are setup, so I was wondering if it's possible to get one & be able to use my phone's existing 3G contract through one of them.
At the moment I have to plug my phone into my laptop & use internet connection sharing, but would rather be able to use a usb dongle for the simplicity.
From what i understand, 3G USB dongles connect directly to your network and therefore supply direct communication between your laptop and the network.
There is no need then to connect the dongle to your mobile and hence use the mobile to connect to the network.
I am not aware that they have any method of connecting to another, 3rd party network connection.
The simplicity is, that the dongle is plugged in, connects to the network and then you can surf. The downside i suppose is that you need another contract of some kind.
If you must use your mobiles connection, why not try bluetooth, i guess would be neater than cables.
Well I wondered if the usb dongles are using similar settings to what contract mobile phone does. And if so is it possible to use your mobile phone's sim in them to make them work?
I tried the bluetooth & it didn't seem to work, but then if it did, it would be draining my battery on my phone even faster.
Hello xda-devlopers,
I have been faced with a small dielemma, recently my wireless adapter for my desktop computer has broke! Now I know that my Diamond as an Internet Sharing Capability but only transmitts from my Service Provider that is Orange.
I get the same wi-fi signal to my phone as I normally did with my computer and I was wondering if there is any software/connection settings to allow me to use wifi signal off my phone to my desktop computer?
Thanks for reading!

As sarcastic as that one-line reply of a web link is, I don't think the OP wishes to use his Cell / mobile provider for internet.
If you read his question, he states that his wireless card DOES NOT WORK therefore WM wifi router is not a solution.
What the op seems to want is the ability to use his phone as a wireless card for his machine without wireless, to connect to a wireless network. Meaning that even with out a sim card inserted, he could join his PC to a wireless network.
If I find out how to do it, I'll post back.

# Support for sharing your Wi-Fi connection to USB, and vice versa
Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to run a prepaid mobile broadband sim from the PDA instead of using the dongle connected to a laptop or desktop?
In other words is there a connection manager for PDA phone by any chance?
This will certainly increase the usability of the sim, one can get connected from anywhere - no laptop/desktop needed!
Cheers,
Fulham
If you want to use the phone as a modem, then yes this is possible. You can use Internet Sharing on the phone to connect the laptop via USB or Bluetooth, or better still install WifiRouter to connect the lappy via wifi and connect to the Internet via 3G.
I do this when I travel OS on hols.

I think you are referring to using the phone as a modem and then connect the laptop for web surfing via it. But this is not what I want to do.
I want to put the sim (by taking out one in the usb dongle (prepaid mobile broadband) supplied by the carrier) in my touch hd sim card slot and get connected, then surf internet FROM WITHIN THE DEVICE (touch HD) ITSELF.
Thx

OK...I see now. I suspect you can, although you may need to configure the phone with appropriate connection settings for your carrier. If you are lucky the SIM *may* do this for you.
Having said all that, don't be too suprised if it doesn't work. Also, the handset will need to be unlocked before you put the prepaid SIM in it.

Any idea as to how to do it step by step? How to insert the APN (access point name) of the provider?
Can someone help please?
The phone is already unlocked.
cheers

I have an O2 prepay mobile dongle and my Phone was on O2 contract (so it had some O2 APN settings already).
Although the phone reports a 3G signal, browsing doesn't seem to work when using the dongles SIM.
Question from #6 above continues.
Hi,
in my car VW Passat + RNS510 + bluetooth premium
This basically is a cellphone included in the car and uses the rSAP protocol to get control of my cell phone (HTC touch pro 2 WM 6.5).
So far so good.
It pairs fine.
shutdown the phone connection and take full control of the SIM card
BUT
The cell phone also loose the data connection. No more internet access on the phone. No mails, no exchange server access....
This is not only anoying for the internet and mails. It is also blocking any WM application to get data access. In other words, I'm using an application called MOBBYWAY (http://www.mobbyway.com) to get the speed cam, radars and other troubles on the road informations. Now the application is useless
Does anyone knows if there is a workaround to get back the data without removing bluetooth connection?
???
HELP ...
Which brand is your phone and do you have data plan
Yes, I have un unlimited data plan for the cell phone. (Orange)
As I wrote, it is an HTC touch pro 2
bump.
would like to know the answer to this question too...

Hi,
it seems no one has informations on this.
Just to make some additional data in the game.
The car is able to provide the internet connection through the 3G connection of my data plan.
So far so good.
My laptop can use the internet connection of my simcard.
But this support exclusively support Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking profile.
The touch pro2 is not able to get the internet access through this path. No support of the Dial-Up networking.
who has any idea?
The equipment is working as follow
1/ Touch Pro2 contains the sim card with my Orange cell phone account + data plan
2/ The car contains a so called VW bluetooth premium 2. Which is in fact a cell phone
3/ The bluetooth premium pack takes control of the SIM card and shutdown the TP2 phone access as well as the data plan
4/ The bluetooth premium pack act as a phone AND provide my data access via bluetooth Dial-Up Networking
5/ Any device that support this profile is able to get access to internet. This is the case of my laptop
BUT I WANT TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITH MY TP 2 cellphone.
This one is not able to do so. The current reason seems to be the TP2 does not support bluetooth DUN access for getting connected to internet....
HELP
I am not sure of the protocols of each of the tech's however if it is not conflicting etc. wouldn't a simple reg edit change the shutting down of the phone dataplan etc???? Is there another way to add another protocol that will work? with the TP2? I know lil naive but I am still learning all this stuff and my brain is aboutr fried. not sure if configuring a MS SBS 2003 for the first time is harder or all of these things you have to remember LOL
I have the same problem with the Galaxy S II.
When i'm connected in RSAP with my VW's car data connection don't work, and so all the app cannot access at internet.
RSAP (Remote Sim Access Protocol) move the line from the phone to the car's nav kit (RNS510).
