CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS

This is such a great thread with lots of valuable information. I too want to make a contribution here because I have the “Future Dial” software, which you load onto your laptop; it has two programs; SnapDialer; which is for wireless internet connections, and SnapSync; which is a phone book and contact editor for mobile phones. But, and this is very important, the software only works with certain cell phones. They have a bunch of models listed on the side of the box; various models from Sprint PCS, Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. You must also purchase a USB cable separately with the software. I got both my software and cable from Radio Shack for about $100.00. If your cell phone is not listed on the side of the software box this will not work for you, so first read the box and Radio Shack staff were also very good in helping me. I had a Sprint LG 1200, which did not work with this software, so I purchased a Sanyo 4900 which does work, and it had a rebate attached to the phone purchase. Further, my cell phone service is through Liberty Wireless, 1000 anytime minutes monthly for $50.00; no roaming or long distance charges. Liberty Wireless is on the Sprint PCS system, but they are a separate company. I have Windows XP Home Edition on my laptop and have had no problems with this setup; nor have I been contacted by Liberty Wireless or Sprint about using my cell phone to access the internet.
