A modem to connect to the internet? I already asked an ISP provider and they said that it's possible, they only need to configure my celfone so it can be detected by my PC.
But my problem is that my ISp provider is so slow in acting on my request. But a friend of mine have already done it. And with that you can surf the internet using any computer just hook your phone to the computer. Of course it will eat up your celfone load.

Try downloading your cellphone's specific modem driver and install it to your laptop. If its detected, do the testing like a regular modem. If it did not work then something is to be set in your cellphone. If it did the rates are the same as the regular call, so its expensive compared to just using the regular phone and modem.
