Using your GSM Phone as a Bluetooth Modem
John R Chang has written and revised a very helpful article on how to configure your Mac to use your GSM Cell Phone as a modem. While this article is written specifically around configuring your Mac to use the phone, you can also configure your Bluetooth enabled PC to do the same.
Before you use this option make sure you are on an unlimited GPRS data plan with your cell phone provider. While this method of communication will allow you to access the internet it is not the same as a good WiFi hotspot. If you plan to spend a lot of time surfing web site, get a big cup of coffee and have a lot of patience.
This communications method is recommended if no other internet connectivity options are available (i.e., WiFi, EV-DO, etc.) and you are not expecting to upload large files.
