Cell Phone as Modem

by on March 21, 2005



Most cell phones can be used as portable modems, allowing you to access the Internet from your laptop. You will need a connection kit (usually a data cable and software such as those sold by Gomadic ), ISP login details, and a data plan to pay for your usage. Although most cell carriers only offer 56Kbps, Verizon has broadband speeds ranging from 144Kbps to a possible 2MB per second. Contact your cell carrier for details.
