Cool. Thanks mucho for the info. guys and gals.
I have used Verizon for years for cell phone connectivity. I have a Motorola cell phone and bought a connectivity kit for it for about $35 with an upgrad last year. Once you load the software, you plug your cell phone into a USB port via a cable and off you go! You CAN use your cell phone voice minutes for data, but only at the analog rate of about 14.4 kbps. During chase season I add the Mobile Broadband plan to my phone for $79 per month and get up to 300 kbps UP AND DOWN just about anywhere there is a digital connection. It works VERY well. Then after chase season you can cancel the broadband service and continue with your voice only plan till the next chase season
Well I finally received my USB data cable today. I bought it on Ebay for a few pennies and $5.95 shipping, what a deal! Anyway, it came with a cd with all required drivers for my phone and others. So not wanting to waste any time, I plugged one end of the cable into the phone and the other into an open USB connection and waited for the “new hardware found†to come up. When it did I installed the correct driver and said “now what?†So I did a quick Google search and found this http://216.119.70.238/Download/LG_Dial-up_manual.doc I simply followed the directions, disabled my wireless connection and presto! Here comes data screaming over the airwaves. This is cool. Now I have a backup to my wireless connection. So in short, all I needed was a six dollar cable and I have internet over my phone. Good luck everyone.
