Yes. Many cell phones will let you connect it to either the serial port or the USB port. With a right driver, it will act like a modem.
Keep in mind, your speed will be limited to something like 28.8K max, and more realistically 14.4K'ish.
It is possible, but not very practical.

properly for one, i do no longer think of that is a dial up connection. you want a cellular broadband connection. i've got seen this achieved. i think of you will get a USB cable that connects into your telephone. you may could desire to pay for a information plan, yet i'm no longer thoroughly beneficial in this. Crap...i'm no longer able to truly assist you that a lot as i've got by no skill achieved this myself. i can enable you recognize it is going to likely be sluggish and high priced. it is extremely helpful to evaluate a cellular broadband card or USB modem.

Yes, you can do it, but it will be quite slow. And you may want to really think about going to GSM and GPRS it's much faster and the tdma/analog network for Cingular will be turned off in 2008.
