Hi
Does someone know of a phone that has the ability to share internet data with a laptop, but is reasonably priced in comparison to iphone & higher end Android phones?
What options are there in NZ?
Thanks
J

I want other devices that dont have internet connections (laptops etc....) to use the Phones internet connection.
Is this possible on low end phones, or can they only "receive" internet?

I brought a nokia 5230 on trademe for $90, it sort of has wi-fi sharing capability if you install the nokia ovi suite and connect via bluetooth, then enable internet connection sharing and create a ad-hoc wireless network.... given up my adsl connection to use 1gb a month on 2degrees for $20.

Does anyone have experience with phones that can HOLD hotspot sharing reliably 24/7.
I want to use a phone as a remote router 24/7..but my experience is that some phones shut off HOTSPOT sharing occassionally for no reason, and you need to physically turn it back on.
The phone I want to set up will just be ON permanently and charging on MAINS. Need robust 24/7 connectivity, remotely (it will be in an unattended lab)
