Hi, today, I'm going to show you how to Uber order online without a smartphone. First, you set your browser to go to m.uber.com. That is assuming you have an account with Uber already. When you go to put in your sign-in information here, and your password here;  if you enter it wrong, you'll get this network error thing. I've been hearing a lot of people saying they keep getting their error network here. That might be because they haven't gotten permission from Uber to use this site.

I never got permission and it works for me, I can't tell you why, but that would be my first suggestion if you do. Put the right information in and the right password and you still get that network error, then I would email them and ask for permission to use the site. If you just want to try and see if it works, go ahead. I'm going to pause this and enter my information and I'll be right back.

I'm using Chrome. I'm logged in now and I'm not seeing any popups saying allow location, but when I used Firefox, I tend to see this popup saying, "Allow location," and I just click yes. It should possibly go right to your home if it knows where that is, at least it does for me I'm not, this is not my home because I'm using it somewhere else. For me, it usually starts right at at my home.

I'm way out and the building is here and the time is ten minutes. Let's go in towards Portland. You can see it here, there's a car, there's a car. Let's say I'm at the Japanese garden, I'm a tourist here. I have my laptop for some reason at the Japanese Garden. That's the problem. You can use a computer to get to your place but then if you don't have a computer at your place you might not be able to order an Uber to get back. This is also good for ordering rides for people that you know that you want them to come to visit you or a lot of other reasons, like you don't have your smartphone with you or don't even own one.

Assuming you've gotten this far and not caught up, you can look down here, this is very so much of the app. You can slide it to the different kinds of services. In Portland we have these services, in other places they have other services. UberX is the cheapest. If I click set up pick up location it'll pop up and right now it's surging. It's a little higher than normal and it'll ask, yeah sure that's fine. If you don't want to do the surge you can wait a little while. If I have a credit card I guess, I haven't used one before, I can add it there. Make sure to use PDX 19 and you'll get your first ride for $15 off. Then when you are ready to go, you just click request and be really ready because it will show up right away usually within two minutes. Right now it says five minutes and they actually mean.

Almost always are there on not more than ten. I hope this helps people be able to order Uber online, if not you can contact me with your problems or try to contact Uber support. If you contact Uber support just be precise and just ask the question over and over again until you get the answer.
