What is tethering? In simple words, tethering means using mobile device to share Internet access for another device (Wikipedia).
Before tethering, make sure you have 3G or at least EDGE has been activated. For Maxis user, key in *136# and press “Call/Send” to activate 3G. While waiting for 3G activation, download phone settings by key in *100# > Phone settings > Choose Phone model. Save the settings file once received.
JoikuSpot Light Wifi HotSpot
Once you able to browse Internet, proceed to download and install JoikuSpot Light (FREE version). Download button on right sidebar. Select your phone model, it support most of Nokia smart phones.
JoikuSpot Light make tethering as easy as 1-2-3. Launch the app and choose your 3G connection to go. It then create a Wifi hotspot start with “JoikuSpot_xxx” without password. Connect your laptop or iPod touch to the wifi and you are tethering over 3G connection.
By the way, the light version only support basic HTTP/S browsing. For VPN access, email protocol (POP3/IMAP) get JoikuSpot Premium with a small fee.
My Two Cents
Tethering technique is really useful when TM Streamyx line is down. JoikuSpot light almost zero configuration, good for non-techie user.
Since it doesn’t have password, beware of neighbour steal your line. Don’t forget to exit JoikuSpot when not using to save 3G connection fees.
