What you need
To using mobile internet over Bluetooth you need a few common things that is probably you have all ready. You just need a computer with Ubuntu (Linux distribution) operating system loaded. Then you have a Bluetooth enabled Mobile phone (Cellphone) which you want to use as a GPRS/EDGE/cdma 2000 1x/EVDO/HSDPA modem. You don’t need a data cable because your data communication from your PC to Mobile phone will be wireless through Bluetooth.
Make Your System Ready
Before starting the job you have to make your system ready. You may have to install some packages. By default those packages should be installed on your Ubuntu system. But make sure they all are installed.
Install the relevant packages
You need a Bluetooth device manager for gnome. There is a package named bluez-gnome. By default bluez-gnome is installed on your Ubuntu PC. You have to check that this package is all ready been installed. You can check it in Synaptic Package Manager. You will find this here:
System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
You have to also check for the package bluez-utils, bluez-pin, ppp. If those package are not installed then go to Terminal.
Application > Accessories > Terminal
Now install those with following command
sudo apt-get install bluez-gnome bluez-utils bluez-pin ppp
Permissions
Your user needs to be able to dial-out (if you are the first user on an ubuntu system, this is already done):
adduser your-username-here dialout
Log out and Log in again.
Connect to your phone
Now you have to turn on bluetooth on your phone and computer. If you’ve already tried connecting them before, delete any reference to your computer from your phone’s list of Bluetooth devices. And delete any reference to your phone’s ID from your Ubuntu PC. To do this go to here:
/var/lib/bluetooth/
Now delete all folders/files there. If you have problem with permission then do the following command on Terminal and try again.
sudo chmod -R oa+rw /var/lib/bluetooth
Now if the gnome bluetooth applet doesn’t appear yet, run:
bluetooth-applet
It should make your computer discoverable by default.
Do a bluetooth scan on the phone, and add your computer as a paired device.
Enter the same pass code in both phone and computer. They should bond.
Now you can edit the properties of the computer on the phone’s list of Bluetooth devices and tell it to always accept connections from the computer.
Now you need to find your phone’s bluetooth mac address, make the phone discoverable, and run in Terminal
hcitool scan
Copy the MAC address (the text with the capital letters, numbers, and ‘:’s) somewhere convenient. You’ll need it many times.
Now you’ll need to find out what channel to connect to:
sdptool browse XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX <-- Insert your phone's MAC address here
Now probably you ‘ll see the followings reply.

The number you want is the Channel number for Dial-up Networking. You find this under Service Name: Dial-up Network (Pointed in top).
Configure bluez
Now you are going to configure the bluez. Just type the following command in the terminal.
sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
Add the following text at the end:
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX; <- Insert your phone's MAC address here
channel 1;
comment "P900 PPP connection";
}
restart blue-utils
/etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart
Configuring PPP
Now you have to configure ppp. Just run the following in terminal.
sudo gedit /etc/ppp/peers/BluetoothDialup
Now you see a blank text file. Then paste the following on the file
debug noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/BluetoothDialup" usepeerdns /dev/rfcomm0 115200 defaultroute crtscts lcp-echo-failure 0
Save and close the BluetoothDialup file. Then run the following.
gksudo gedit /etc/chatscripts/BluetoothDialup
Now you see a blank text file. Then paste the following text on the text file, replacing your-apn-here with the APN from your data services profile and your-data-profile-number-here with the number you stored the profile into on the phone . If you don’t know your apn (access point name) contact with your operator’s help line.
TIMEOUT 35 ECHO ON ABORT '\nBUSY\r' ABORT '\nERROR\r' ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' ABORT '\nNO DIALTONE\r' ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' '' \rAT OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","your-apn-here"' OK ATD*99***your-data-profile-number-here# CONNECT ""
The “AT+CGDCONT=1″ command depends upon your operator. So get the right command from your operator’s help service.
