When we are out of our home then we can still remain connected to the internet and that way is our cell phone. It is the best way to surf on internet when we are out, and also it is a chep method as it doesn't cost much. I most of the time surf on my cell phone more than a computer because of no accessive bill and mobility. Do you use your cell phone to surf on internet?

I do not have a cell phone having a big screen and good graphics enough to view or use internet, though I do surf internet on my cell sometimes. I use my fathers cell for surfing internet as his cell phone is a good one. I use cell phone internet only when my PC internet is not working for some reason. I do think that cell phone internet is a great supplementary tool to PC internet, Though it can't be a primary internet for usage. I have friend who use cell phone internet after connecting the phone to PC and using phone modem. But mobile internet is way to slow and not comparable with PC internet. I use mobile internet as a secondary tool only when my PC internet is not working or when I am away from home and want to check out my updates on the internet.

Well, that's really sad that you don't have a good enough phone to surf internet on it, but anyway you have had the experiece of surfing online om your father's cell phone. And cell phone internet is not made for connecting it with a pc as it is very very slow but the speed on mobile is fast enough. Thanks for your response.

Ok, that means you are a temporary user of internet on phone. And that's good that you ard taking the advantage of the technology that you have by using your cell phone for surfing on internet as well. It is very useful if you don't have any computer near you. Thanks for your response.

I don't use my cellphone to surf the Internet, just my PC, or my laptop when I'm away from home.

I tried using my phone to surf the web, but only once. I don't find it very practical or intuitive. The connection is too slow, I don't want to type with a keypad and I refuse to buy an overpriced phone (which includes most phones on the American market). Besides that I think it's just not worth the price (cell phone rates in the United States are HUGE ripoffs). However, I'm in the minority.

Yea the speed of intermet is slow in cell phone . But here in india the data rate plans for internet on phone are very cheap and that's the reason why i use my cell phone more than a computer. But as a said typing using a keypad is a big problem. Thanks for your response.

i just got a phone that will even allow me to get online! I do use it some, but from what I have seen they are still limited in some capacities. I have found it useful though to check out a few things. Especially football scores and weather. IT was cool bc when my dad and I traveled to go get my stuff I just punched in the weather channel and watched the forecast for the region to see if we needed to tarp the load or not! Awesome!

Yea, there's lots of phones that do a lot more than mine, but mine does a lot more than what I use it for too! I just need to explore it a little more!

Oh yea. They are limited in many things but you can do many things with your cell phone as well, besides getting fontball scores and weather you can also check your e-mails and can surf many websites too. Thanks for your response.

Yea, speed of cell phone is slow as compared to the broadband speed of the computer also you don't have a flash flayer in most of the phones so you are not able to access some of the sites which requires flash plar to work properly. Thanks for your response.

Yea everyone will preffer using internet on computer rather than on cell phones. Cell phone is useful when when your are not near a computer and you immediately need to access the internet. But the internet on phone is a little slow. Thanks for your response.

If I don't have my laptop with me,then I'll use my cellphone for surfing the internet. Nowadays the browser on the smartphones are getting better and better and there are tonnes of free wifi hotspots out there.Surfing the internet through the phone is getting more enjoyable compared to the old days where the browser is laggy and takes forever to load. Cheers.

@harry89 (2330)

Yea you are right the speed of the browsers now a days is fast enough. Well if you get those free wi-fi hotspots then what else do you want more just go there and enjoy your time. Cell phones are really very useful in todays life. Thanks for your response.

Yea, internet surfing using mobile phone is very useful because of the mobily, size and very low cost and free in your country. It is very useful when you are not near any computer and laptop and you immediately need to get access to the internet. Thanks for your response.

Ok, maybe you think that it is slow because you are used to computer's speed, but it is very useful when you don't have any computer or laptop near you and you want to get access to internet. I am just loving it. Thanks for your response.

@ip5217 (1655)

Although using a desktop or laptop is still my recommended way of accessing the internet, it cannot be denied that having a phone with browsing capabilities is recommended too. This is advisable to those people who are dependent on the internet, like me. I have just bought a new phone with this feature and I think I'm loving it.

Ok, so that means you are a new user to internet on phone. But i am sure you would be enjoying it. Yea i agree that internet is made for computers and laptops, but cell phones are very useful now a days for acessing internet as you can access internet any time using your cell phone. Thanks for your response.

Yes, I do. My friend installed Opera Mini in my pocketpc and I can enjoy surfing the net at no cost at all. I just use proxy IP add. I'm loving it cause I can use net even if I am at home or away the office but computer is still the best for me.

@harry89 (2330)

Yea computer is still best for everyone, but cell phone is a good alternative option of computer or laptop to get access to internet. No doubt that computer is more better than cell phone , as the internet speed in cell phone is a little slowdr than that in the computer. Thanks for your response.

Yes, I'm always on the go and surf a lot via my mobile phone when I dont have a computer and notebook around. Here in my country, we have unlimited mobile data plan. Just pay a fixed subscription fee and you can surf unlimited. Very convenient as I can search for any information no matter where I am.

@harry89 (2330)

19 Oct 10

Well, that's great that in your country you have unlimited data plans for a fixed amount of money. Here in my country the situation is almost similar. We get 2.5GB of usage for so cheap. So i have been using internet on my mobile for last 6 months. Thanks for your response.

@harry89 (2330)

19 Oct 10

Ok, if your phone supports just those things then that's great. I can even access mylot on my phone, my phone is very useful to me as it saves the electricity that i would waste to surf internet on computer. Thanks for your response.

@indahfth (11161)

Yes, I often use my phone to open the internet. I am more likely to use mobile phones than on computers. I logged in MyLot, also use the phone. With cell phones, in addition to saving electricity, using a mobile connection smoothly.

@harry89 (2330)

18 Oct 10

Well you are doing similar to me then, i also access mylot mostly from my cell phone so as to save electricity, we know how much electricity a computer and cpu consumes, whatever you earn on mylot would be gone in your electricity bills, so its an intelligent idea to acces those sites on cell phones which can be easily accessed by your cell phone. Thanks for your response.

I don't right now. But I would like to get a phone that does that. When I become employed I know my job will require me to keep tabs more. Plus I have my money making sites I would like to be able to check on the go.

@harry89 (2330)

Yea cell phone is very useful for accessing internet, you can use it on the go and can even surf most of your money making sites. I mostly use my cell phone to surf my money making sites as it is cheaper than using a computer and is available everywhere. Thanks for your response.

Yes I use my phone to check my emails everyday when I am away from home for many hours.I think this is a wonderful facility that we are getting to access the internet on the go through our mobile phones.I am planning to buy a more expensive handset to be able to use social networking much more easily too on the phone.Which mobile handset do you use?I have a smart phone but am in search of a better one for faster surfing.

Right now i have Nokia 3600slide, but i bought it two years back and now a days more advanced and cheap phones with good features have come. I think you should go for a symbian applications based phones and download a opera mini software in that phone and you are ready to access almost everything. Thanks for your response.

Yes, I do. I use my cell phone to go online, especially during my working hour. I find it very convenient to use cell phone to surf the net when computer is inconvenient to be in place. It does not cost much for the operator I am using, which is around 0.01% of my salary per day.

@harry89 (2330)

Ok, that's good that it does not cost you much to surf internet on your cell phone , because of this use can use your cell phone for surfing for hours specially when you are not around any computer and you need to go online. Thanks for your response.
