APN

[endlesslyonline]

Not sure if this is the correct section to ask this, but hopefully someone can help me here.

Ok, here goes,

I have been thinking if something like this might be possibe, google was no help (which probably means its not possible )

I have an android phone, and would like to create a custom APN on my PC ( i have uncapped internet on there) and then just set my phone to connect to that custom APN, now here's the thing, i have no idea where to start?!

so if someone can point me in the right direction, on how (if possible) to create an APN, that would be a great start.

Thanks

Another word for "custom APN" is wifi.
That is what your trying, right? Use home internet instead of 3G.

Does the phone have wifi? If not get one with it and save yourself the effort.

Yah, i have wifi @ home, but just at home. I would like to use the apn connected to my PC on the move asswell

So like:
Phone --> GSM/HSDPA --> home pc --> internet?

It's possible, but you're still going to be paying for the GSM leg of the data trip, which effectively makes this setup pointless.

If you want to schedule downloads and stuff on your pc from anywhere though, a VPN + remote desktop setup works pretty good.

What i basically want to do is use internet on my phone (facebook, twitter, browsing, whatsapp, weather, etc) , but not pay for it, it should go via my internet at home, basically create my own type of "BIS", so if i understand you correctly the settings you gave me will basically do that, but i will still be charged for packet transfers between PC and phone? yeah, then it will be pointless ....

Yep. If you touch the cell network at any point in your data traffic flow, you will be charged.
If you want "free" browsing on your device, then BB may be the only viable solution... but who would want a BB??

ok, so its confirmed, it cant be done

Thanks for the help.

One last thing though, how does a company like IS give you access to "cheaper on device internet" via their APN ?

A company like IS operate on a whole different level than users like us. If you have millions, you can surf for free.
