My name is Andrew Sutton, aka Shandy.

I was a Microsoft VB MVP for a couple of years (Apr 2004-Mar 2006) and was a vbCity Leader between April 2003 and June 2007.

How To Use An i-mate SP3 On Virgin Mobile PAYG To Act As A Modem For A PC

I managed to get my i-mate SP3 to act as a modem for my Dell 620 laptop by adding the following modem initialisation string in the bluetooth setup dialog.

+CGDCONT =1,"IP","goto.virginmobile.uk", where goto.virginmobile.uk is the apn address as entered in the settings from my previous post, Setting Up An i-mate SP3 With Virgin Mobile Pay As You Go In The UK To Use The Internet.

I also had to setup a dialup connection using the *99# number with no user name, password nor domain entered. The network was set to Internet.

The access speed is pretty slow but it does work.
