Using the phone-as-modem is an extra service with requires an agreement of 2 years just on that service so I don't recommend it. There's a few problems with phone as a modem. 1.

also, if you are in an evdo area, you may want to change the setting called DDTM, which allows voice calls to interrupt your data session. this only works in evdo coverage, but by roughly october, everywhere will have evdo.
side note:
if 040793 doesnt work, then the phone wants your MSL. to get this, call tech support and simply say, "i cant make calls. it says my account cannot be valida...
