Lifehacker.com has an excellent guide on how to use a mobile phone as a dialup modem. You can find their article at:

"Geek to live use your cell phone as a modem" -- written by Gina Trapani, lifehacker.com

You're stuck with the laptop in the land of no Internet, but you've got unlimited minutes or a great data plan on your cell phone. What to do? Plug that phone into your laptop, of course, and get to surfing! This week we'll turn a cell phone into a modem that will get you online even when there's not a wifi hotspot, landline or ethernet jack in sight. While specific setups will vary depending on your phone, plan and carrier's software, turning my Sprint PCS phone into a wireless modem for surfing on the go was just about as easy as pie.

What you'll need
A PC or Mac
A CDMA phone
A phone to computer data cable
Let's get started.

First, plug the phone into your computer using an USB data cable. My Samsung came with the cable in the box. If yours didn't, do a quick search for the cable that fits your phone model on Froogle or Cellular Factory.

Windows knows you just plugged in something new and wants to know what it is, so the Add New Hardware wizard appears, eager to get the question settled. If you're lucky, your phone came with a handy CD that contains your drivers. I wasn't so lucky, so I had to Google up the drivers for my particular phone model, install them, and then point the Wizard in the driver's direction on my hard drive. Once Windows says, "Oh hey Samsung [or insert your model here] CDMA modem," you're practically there. My Mac (running Tiger) recognized the phone as a modem right away.

Next you'll need connection software provided by your carrier. Again this might be on that CD that came with your phone, or you can download it from your plan's web site. Me, I grabbed the Sprint PCS Connection Manager for phone as Modem software from the Sprint site. Once that baby was installed, it was a matter of hitting the "Go" button and I was online using Sprint's data network at 230k (translation: slower than broadband but way faster than dial up.) Of course, depending on your location, plan and service, your mileage may vary.

If you don't have connection software or you're on a Mac (and the software isn't available for you), simply enter the phone number for your mobile phone's network in the modem's dial up properties. Sprint's data network number is #777; check with your provider for your details if you've got a data plan. Alternately, you can dial into an AOL or NetZero or Earthlink account as well for regular old 56k dialup speeds.

what Winston doesn't tell you is that the cell companies are on to this. When you signed up for that "unlimited data" plan for twenty bucks for your phone, they intended you to use it for your phone. You can use the WAP broswer on your phone and at best, you are going to transfer 5 megabytes of data in a month. Plug your phone up to a laptop, start browsing, you are going to get that 5 megs in 10 minutes. Start pumping that much data through your phone, they are going to nail you, and I've heard of people getting four figured cell phone bills after they did this.
Can you use your phone as a modem? yes. But you damn well better call your provider and let them know you intend to do so. And get the correct data plan. Cingular calls it "laptop connect" Sprint calls it PAM (phone as modem.) They will all nail you if you don't. For unlimited data on a tethered phone to laptop, the going rate is around $60 a month.

Answer 4

So long as your mobile has something like a RS232 style interface, you can port your modem to the mobile and then have it dial out like a regular land line
