How to connect to your phone via Bluetooth to access Internet

this is not 100% foolproof, but works for me.

Config your files:

/etc/bluetooth
-
edit rfcomm.conf and main.conf

/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#

rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;
#
# # Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:26:CC:8A:24:59; # my real MAC, hack me
#
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
# run sdptool browse to get the DUN chan
channel 1; #S40 DUN
#
# # Description of the connection
comment "Dial-Up Networking";
}

/etc/bluetooth/main.conf
[General]
# List of plugins that should not be loaded on bluetoothd startup
#DisablePlugins = network,input

# Default adaper name
# %h - substituted for hostname
# %d - substituted for adapter id
#Name = %h-%d
Name = YOUR_BT4_BOX

# Default device class.
#Class = 0x000100
Class = 0x0a010c # run "hciconfig hci0 class"

# How long to stay discoverable
# The value is in seconds. Default is 180, i.e. 3 minutes.
# 0 = disable timer, i.e. stay discoverable forever
DiscoverableTimeout = 0

# Use other page timeout than the controller default one
# (16384 = 10 seconds)
PageTimeout = 8192

# Behaviour for Adapter.SetProperty("mode", "off")
# Possible values: "DevDown", "NoScan" (default)
OffMode = NoScan

# Discover scheduler interval used in Adapter.DiscoverDevices
# The value is in seconds.
# Defaults is 0 to use controller scheduler
DiscoverSchedulerInterval = 0



/etc/ppp/peers
-
create file "BluetoothDialup"

/etc/ppp/peers/BluetoothDialup

debug
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/BluetoothDialup"
usepeerdns
/dev/rfcomm0 115200
defaultroute
crtscts
lcp-echo-failure 0


/etc/chatscripts
-
create file "BluetoothDialup" ( yes the same name as above )

/etc/chatscripts/BluetoothDialup
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", "INTERNET"'
OK ATD*99#
CONNECT ""


note: the line
OK ATD*99# is your dialup number, mine is simply *99#

note: the line
OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "INTERNET"'

is very importaint, especially the "INTERNET" entry, this should
match your phones service. Mine is "dna INTERNET" on my phone, but the correct info for the script is "INTERNET".
If you get an error about needed to subscribe to blahblah, you got it wrong!



/var/lib/YOUR_BT4_BLUETOOTHDEVICE_MAC/
-
create a file called "pincodes"
enter on one line...
/var/lib/YOUR_BT4_BLUETOOTHDEVICE_MAC/pincodes

YOUR_PHONES_MAC PIN

example:
00:11:22:33:44:55 1234

-

restart the bt daemon...
user@bt~#/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

to connect issue the command...
user@bt~#pon BluetoothDialup

to disconnect issue the command....
user@bt~#poff BluetoothDialup


problems:
If you have previously paired your phone in windows,
you may need to delete the old pairing,
then re-pair in BT4. Pairing will be from BT4->Phone
( accecpt request and PIN:1234 )

Thanks for your guide. My operator is also dna (finland).

However i got one error

pon BluetoothDialup
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/BluetoothDialup: unrecognized option '/dev/rfcomm0'

So what I have done wrong, or is there something missing.
My phone is Nokia 6210Navigator

be sure to edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf with your phones MAC ( device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx )

Hey, I found one way to get the WAP/GPRS dialing info from your phone, unfortunately it involves using a W-word OS.

Connect phone to computer and the proper drivers should install. The phone should be recognized to have DUN services.
Under the bluetooth device configuration menu --> diagnostics .. there's an option to append to a log, and then view the log after connection... through the log, I was able to find the input that I needed:

02-14-2010 00:37:24.964 - Interpreted response: OK
02-14-2010 00:37:24.965 - Sending user initialization commands.
02-14-2010 00:37:24.975 - Send: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ibox.tim.it"<cr>
02-14-2010 00:37:24.980 - Recv: <cr><lf>OK<cr><lf>
02-14-2010 00:37:24.980 - Interpreted response: OK
02-14-2010 00:37:24.981 - Dialing.
02-14-2010 00:37:24.991 - Send: ATDT*###<cr>
02-14-2010 00:37:26.413 - Recv: <cr><lf>CONNECT<cr><lf>
02-14-2010 00:37:26.413 - Interpreted response: Connect

Now, I'm sure the information must be in the SIM card because I couldnt find it anywhere in the phone settings.
Maybe getting a hardware kit, like this: SIM Card Reader/Writer Kit would be much more "l33t".

Anyway, before I get burned for mentioning the W-word. Thanks for the tutorial. I wish my connection wasnt so painfully slow that its pretty much useless. It was really good way to learn how to properly bind bluetooth devices to backtrack, in any case.

Thanks.

Nice tutorial, I wanna try this once I can figure out bluetooth. Would you happen to know where I can change the Bluetooth pin? I was playing around with rfcomm to try make a connection to my phone, but when I tried entering "1234" it didn't connect.

Admit it, you haven't even red OP's post, have you? Let me explain why I'm saying this:

/var/lib/YOUR_BT4_BLUETOOTHDEVICE_MAC/
-
create a file called "pincodes"
enter on one line...
/var/lib/YOUR_BT4_BLUETOOTHDEVICE_MAC/pincodes

YOUR_PHONES_MAC PIN

example:
00:11:22:33:44:55 1234

I'm not gonna lie, I overlooked the second part of his post. Right after I replied I reread everything in the forum and saw that part and couldn't remove my post because first it had to be approved by the moderator. Sorry, I'll pay more attention.
By the way, I got it working by placing a pincodes file at: /var/lib/bluetooth/nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn/pincodes
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn as in your BT4 bluetooth mac address. This page helped me: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/Bonding

be sure to edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf with your phones MAC ( device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx )

hm i have same mistake.
checked /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and its

#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
#
	rfcomm0 {
#	# Automatically bind the device at startup
	bind yes;
#
#	# Bluetooth address of the device
	device phone mac;
#
#	# RFCOMM channel for the connection
	channel	2;
#
#	# Description of the connection

Hi I just wanted to tell that I got this working, actually I cant pair my mobile phone with my bluetooth device. However I dont need to use bluetooth, I can use usb cable to connect my phone. I also use KPPP to connect to internet.

in gnome is a tool to connect phone using bluetooth, is there any for KDE?
