Using your Nokia E70 as a modem

Need an Internet connection? No WLAN in range? No problem. Use the GPRS or 3G connection in your Nokia E70 to get an Internet connection for your compatible PC over the cellular data network. Here's how...

Getting started

In order to use your Nokia E70 as a modem for your PC, you must have:

Getting started
  • Network access: an operator agreement for your Nokia E70 that includes GPRS or 3G data transfer
  • A compatible Windows-based PC with a USB port
  • A Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-53 (supports USB 2.0 standard and maximum transfer speeds)

Note: It is also possible to set up a Nokia E70 – PC connection using Bluetooth or infrared. For more information, please refer to the Nokia PC Suite help menu or your Nokia E70 user guide.

Setting up your PC – phone connection

  1. Install Nokia PC Suite software on your PC. If you already have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite installed, skip to the 'Connect to the Internet Using One Touch Access' section below.

    Caution! Do not connect the USB connectivity cable before or during PC Suite installation.
  2. Setting up

    Note: If you have changed the default connection setting, refer to the Nokia E70 User Guide.
