hi...
does anyone know of any hardware device that lets you connect your sim card to your computer so the computer can function as a phone? i'm not sure if a 3G modem can do it...i want to be able to make calls and send texts from my laptop not just browse and i'm thinking if there's a small device maybe expresscard or SD that'd be extremely useful...thanks
I use something similar to this:

Does that allow it to function as a phone t34b4g5? www.dekart.com has some cool stuff as well....
I use my Nokia N95 for that. Connection on the laptop via Bluetooth, on the laptop it's basically an old fashioned dialup connection to a special number (*99#). The phone makes the UMTS (3G) connection.
Works like a charm but you do need a dataplan of course.
Not by itself no, but there are apps readily available for different types of phones that will enable you to send txt messages and make phone calls.Quote:
