Using T-Mobile phone as a modem to connect to SBC Dial internet ...

[avash]

My T-Mobile cellphone (Motorola V600) is bluetooth capable and I have bluetooth capability on my laptop.

I have SBC Yahoo DSL which gives me free dial-up when I'm on the road.

What I was thinking of doing was using my cellphone as a modem to connect to SBC Dial while I'm on the go.

The question is, will T-Mobile treat the connection as a regular call and just use up my minutes, or will they charge for data? When the call connects, the phone displays Data 9.6kbps



Anyone knows?

It's just a regular call as far as T-Mobile is concerned. I've done it a bunch of times.

Thanks, what I needed to hear.

I just checked my T-Mobile account online and the call I placed to SBC Yahoo Dial through my T-Mobile cell showed up as a regular call! I'm all set.

Merry Christmas everyone!
