Use your mobile phone from web browser |
Nokia PC Phone is an experimental service that gives you the ability to use your mobile phone from your web browser. You can call, text, and manage contacts from your phone – all through your PC! The great thing about Nokia PC Phone is that you can use it to communicate with friends and family even though they don't have the Nokia PC Phone themselves. No one will be able to tell the difference because your calls and text messages are actually made from your own Nokia phone.
Nokia PC Phone System Requirements
Bluetooth or cable connectivity (only USB cable connection is supported with Series 60 phones)
Windows XP 32 bit with service pack 2; all Bluetooth stacks that PC Suite supports are suitable with Series 40 phones but we recommend Microsoft Bluetooth
Windows Vista 32 bit; only Microsoft Bluetooth is supported (with Series 40 phones).
Vista support is still preliminary.
Supported Browsers
Nokia PC Phone service is optimized for use with the following browsers.
Microsoft Windows XP and Vista:
- Firefox version 2.0 or higher

Series 40 Phones
In general all new S40 phones with Bluetooth or cable work fine with PC Phone. More detailed information of your phone you can get from Forum Nokia (registration required).

If it is "S40 3rd" edition or later there is a good chance that Nokia PC Phone works with it. Also some 2nd edition phones work as well.
