It's never free, I'm afraid. Usually to do that you have to set up a tethering plan with your provider, and those are very expensive. Also providers tend to only support smart phones for their tethering plans. What service provider do you have?

Edit: Just reread what you wrote. Did you mean get free internet for your phone from your laptop? If that's the question then its only a matter of if your phone has wifi....

Yeah from my desktop :) I want to get internet via bluetooth. I am trying to figure out what this guy explains here: Internet on Sony Ericsson Mobile using Broadband « A TECH GEEK UNVEILED

I did not manage to get it working yet, though :( Could this be possible? I mean, access the internet via bluetooth?

Yes it is possible but it I've never been able to get it work myself. Never had much use for it, I guess. It depends if your phone supports it. In that article was he using the same phone model as you?

Edit: Just looked at the article and I noticed I didn't see your phone listed under the compatibility list, unless I missed something.
 
Hey good news! I managed to get it working although I am having freeze problems while loading a page with opera mini. Will post back later!

Awesome! Glad to hear you got it working! I'm curious to see how this works out.
 
Actually it loads the first page only and cannot load then. for example if i visit our forum, it doesn't load when i fill in my login details and click login. I am still working on it!
 
So I take it this is kinda like the reverse of tethering? Getting internet access on a phone through a hard line like cable or dsl? Interesting concept.
 
That's quite cool, I'm using my touch as a wireless dongle for my desktop at the moment and getting the same speeds as I would using my eithernet cable. I'm using an app and program called PDAnet, don't know if it's of any use to you :)
 
Hey there guys! Guess what! Yesterday i randomly found out that my phone can access the internet via opera mini! For free!! Dont ask me how this happened, because i dont even know lol. It must have been those settings i did months ago to get bluetooth internet. Right now i am browsing lpf via my s500i :)
