Windows 7 has a great in-built feature that allows you connect your mobile to it and directly make all calls from your PC. You can directly use your phone’s internet on your PC as well. This is really good for those who wish to surf the net while on the go. I have a Motorola L6 and Windows 7 detected it in seconds and installed the required drivers. However you need bluetooth connectivity for this and this cannot be done by connecting your phone through USB cable.

How to Connect:

1.  First install your required bluetooth drivers for Windows 7 (if you haven’t already).

2.  Click on “Add New’ devices on the bluetooth icon in the taskbar. Make sure your phone’s bluetooth is turned on and visible.

3.  Windows will search for your device(s) and will display the same. Select your mobile and click ‘Next’.

4.  Windows will give you an auto-generated passkey which you will have to enter in your mobile.

5.  Windows then installs the drivers for your mobile and upon installing you will get the following screens:

Also you will get a icon of your mobile in your ‘My Computer’  window. Just double click on it and it will open a new window to perform all the operations like making calls, using your computer’s speakers and mic to talk while on call, transfer files to and fro your mobile, connect to internet and more. Have a look.

Once you get here, you can do everything from your PC and can control your phone to a large extent. The best part I liked about is the – Internet! Most of the mobile providers have started charging separately for PC internet through your mobile but using this you can use your mobile internet to surf the net! Although it will be slow but you can at least use it to check your mails and finish off any important work. So no more paying those extra bucks just for a few minutes of surfing on the net.

Tip:

If you have problems connecting your mobile to windows, I would advise you to first update windows using the ‘Windows Update’ and then try again. Alternatively, you can even check if you got any drivers CD with your mobile and make use of that as well.
