Android Device or iPhone as Modem Over WiFi, Bluetooth and USB

Android Device or iPhone as Modem Over WiFi, Bluetooth and USB can be setup to use the Internet connection of these devices on your Computer. Here is how to use any combination – you will obviously have one of the combination. Nokia Smartphones are excluded because Nokia itself has excellent software for this work. Because of vendor lock-in, you practically can not use a 3G USB modem to pop up the SIM card and connect to the Internet. It is not that your SIM card will not match ! It is the PPP which will disconnect your computer even initial connection happens. My work is some what on the GO, I can not run with an Ethernet cable, so practically hacking through these vendor lock-in is nothing new to me, I am doing it for past 10-12 years !
