How to Setup Any GSM Phone With T-Mobile

By Andrew Larson

Using a T-Mobile Phone as a modem with a windows machine. First I would like to say you CANNOT use the Sidekicks or Samsung Behold and Memoir as modems for almost anything else out there this will work.

This walk through will not work with any windows mobile phones. That is a different easier setup I will add later.

Prerequisites

-Must be able to browse internet on device.
