Result
As a result, it turns out that the answer to the question "how to connect a smartphone to the Internet" is extremely simple. It’s enough just to take a little time to prepare when it comes to connecting via a computer. And to cope with this task, you do not need to have any special skills in the field of Internet technologies.
Although it may be easier to issue a tariff with unlimited Internet to a SIM card once, for example, from YOTA, Tele2, Megafon, Beeline or MTS and not wonder how to connect to internet smartphone, never again. But there are also situations when the mobile coverage of the operator in a given region is either completely absent, as can be observed with YOTA or Tele2, or when it is very weak and the output speed is very low. Then a personal computer with a wired network connection, a USB cable or the Connectify program just comes to the rescue. By the way, many old stationary computers do not have a Wi-Fi module and cannot create a wireless access point. But this problem is easily solved by purchasing a USB adapter, although this is an additional cost. Perhaps it's better to connect via a regular USB cable?
