Can you be a little more specific?

It sounds like you just use a cell phone, and would like to hook up your PC to it - is this right?

Thanks for the response- That is correct, I have a Blue tooth enabled phone and would like to use this as a wireless modem for my Home PC. Can I sync it through my BT PPC or is there a way to bypass this and just use the phone to PC hook up? I am fairly new to the wireless age, so any specifics as far as USB hookup and network advice (if applicable) would be great. I appreciate your help! BTW- if it matter, I'm using a Dell 4550 with Windows XP :lol:

I've never tried to do this, but you should be able to use a USB adapter on your PC to connect to your phone. You can pick up USB BT "dongles" for about $30 online.

I really can't help you with this, but I almost positive that is IS possible.

Yeah man... you would be better off just grabbing a cheap dongle and getting online through your celly!
