Using a Razr V3 as a modem

I heard somewhere that I could use my Razr as a modem on my PC. If this is true, other than a Bluetooth dongle, what would I need? Thanks!

Could use a USB cable... a USB-A to USB mini 5-pin.

Other than that, I would check with your carrier to see how much it costs to use it as a modem. Some carriers offer a flat rate, others charge per Kilobyte.

If you have Cingular, I would have to recomend you get a Data Connect Plan, NOT the Unlimited MEdia Net, as it will not work to connect your computer to the net. Cingular charges a flat rate of 59.99 *Until the end of March* after that it'll be 79.99 monthly for UNLIMITED use. However, I hate to burst your bubble, the Razr has the regular GPRS connection... in other words, it's not worth it to use it as your modem. If you're going to be using your phone to log on the net, get a phone that has the capability to connect to whichever faster connection your wireless carrier offers. As I said, quite honestly, it's not worth it to use the razor as a modem.
