Connecting your mobile with PC is as easy as 1, 2, 3

There are three common and easy ways to connect cellular phone with computer.

  1. Infrared.
  2. USB or data cable.
  3. Bluetooth.

In order to connect your personal computer with cellphone, you must have at least one of these in your mobile.

Now you must be wondering how three of these connect your cell phone with your computer.

How to connect via Infrared?

Materials:

  1. Infrared dongle for personal computers.
  2. An infrared-enabled cell phone.
  3. Cellular phone's software for example PC Suite.

What is infrared dongle?

Infrared dongle is an electronic-USB device that enables your personal computer to receive and send infrared signals. The procedure of connectivity through infrared is different from bluetooth.

Step-by-step method to connect via infrared:

  1. Firstly, switch on the infrared reception in the cell phone and connect the infrared dongle with the computer.
  2. Now just align the device horizontally with the infrared dongle, so that it is connected to your computer.
  3. Open up and run the cell phone-PC software in order to communicate with the cellphone. Most of the mobile phone companies provide PC suite software or you can download from the net.
  4. Now, you can send and receive data from computer to the device.

How to connect via data cable?

Materials:

  1. USB data cable.
  2. PC Suite mobile software.

What is a data cable?

A data cable is a long cord, which connects your computer with your cell phone in order to share data between them. The data cable transfers electrical signals from cell phone to computer and computer to cell phone.

Step-by-step method to connect via infrared:

  1. Connect the data cable at the serial port or USB port on the back of your computer's CPU.
  2. Just connect one end of the data cable to your cellphone and other end to your computer.
  3. Open and run cell phone PC suite software to start transferring data from your cell phone. Most mobile companies provide data cables with the mobile or you can buy it from a mobile store.

How to connect via Bluetooth?

Materials:

  1. USB bluetooth dongle for computers.
  2. A bluetooth-enabled cell phone.
  3. Cell phone software (PC Suite).

What is a Bluetooth dongle?

A bluetooth dongle is an electronic-USB device which can be connected to your computer and then you can send and receive all types of bluetooth signals.

Step-by-step method to connect via bluetooth:

  1. Firstly, connect the bluetooth dongle to your computer and install it's driver as provided.
  2. Then, switch on your cell phone's bluetooth reception, so you can send and receive theĀ  bluetooth signals to the computer.
  3. Now, run the installed personal computer software for that particular cell phone, which you are going to connect. For most of the bluetooth-enabled cellular phones, PC Suite is already provided when you initially buy a cell. There is one more option, you can also download from the net.
  4. Now what, you are already on your way to send and receive data from your computer to your handset.

Now, enjoy sending and receiving ringtones, pictures, themes, games, songs and many more things. One more thing, I prefer www.download.com for all free software downloads.

Okay Ms. Kat Thurston but what it is for?

kat_thurston 17 months ago

I had figured that with there being a way to connect your cell phone to your computer than you could more than likely be able to have just one internet instead of a plan for your cell phone and a plan for your computer. I have came across a deal where you can get unlimited internet usuage the phone itself is a little expensive but in the long run if I end with one bill instead of two it will be worth it.
