If you have a data package, you can easily use your phone as a modem for your laptop. I just installed the trial of PDAnet and it's amazingly fast. I think I'll be buying it instead of spending the money on an air card. It's a hell of a lot cheaper!!

It pulls off of the data package. It's no different than using the internet on the phone itself.
 
Just looked into it a bit more. If you're a very heavy user they'll cut you off, but if you don't have the data plan you'll get screwed. From what I've read people with the data plan aren't having issues.

I think you are thinking of the guy who used his IPhone in Europe and got a ton of charges.
 
i use an iphone, and have the unlimited data plan. even without a laptop they called me n asked why i had such a high data usage lol. i told them i use an iphone, and pay for unlimited data use, so i use as much as i can since its paid for.

ill be trying this out for sure. heavy searching on the iphone's web browser gets annoying. thanks for the heads up!

edit:

guess iphone isn't smart enough of a phone lol. its for windows mobile phones only?
 
I try not to breath when I'm around apple products. I've heard they're contagious. I don't want to catch that bug...........
