Tethering Question

i need to use my wireless phone as a modem for my laptop while i'm travelling. i was looking to use the new LG CU320 because it has the UMTS which would be great while i'm on the road, plus the megapixel camera and bluetooth for when i need it to make calls. i don't want to get a wireless data card since i won't be using the internet enough to need one. any suggestions or help is appreciated. thanks!

i don't think so. on cingy's website all of the data and laptop connect plans request that you has a pc card or pda device and pay a monthly fee.

typically alot of data software cd's like mobile phone tools from motorola have software on the cd that allow you to use you phone as a dial-up modem. not sure if anything like this has been created for the phone in question. also some phones have dial-up linking programmed and profiled into the phone. but as far as UMTS speeds i suggest you call cingy data support @ 1-800-304-3044.

this should be possible you will need to make a new coonection in windows using dal up networking! i forget the dial up number contact me privately and i will look for it!
i have done with with my pda and devices like that the big thing is you have to know the CORRECT ettings cingular will tell u to use the settings for laprtop but it wont work you have to use the same settings that are in your phone!!!
