Phone as modem and Sprint vs. AT&T

Guys,

I am aware that the RAZR2 V9 and V9m can be used as a modem for a laptop. I believe this can be done via Bluetooth or USB, is that right?

Also, what plans are actually necessary to support this functionality? I currently have sprint, so I'm familiar with their Power Vision offerings. Is the Power Vision Ultimate sufficient? What is the AT&T equivalent?

Finally, any knowledgeable sources on the differences between the Sprint and AT&T versions are invited to share their thoughts. Realistically, I'm looking for the most, best functionality that this phone has to offer, for the lowest price.

Any guidance is helpful. Thanks.

Can't tell you anything about ATT plans, but you need to sign up for "Phone as Modem" with Sprint in order to connect with your phone.

It used to be that with Vision services, if you could figure out how to connect with your phone then you were OK and you could sign on, even anonymously. Not so anymore.

If you try to connect with any phone with Sprint and you DON'T have the PAM plan, it won't connect. I have discussed this with tech support, and the ability is disabled.

Sorry.

Actual info on Sprint would have the phone as a modem plan at 39.99 for unlimited use as a modem. Speeds would rand slightly slower than the aircards. So 400-600kbps would be the range. But the coverage in the US would be so much better on Sprint than AT&T. Man.
