2 things to be very aware of here:

1)normally they require a pc card and software to allow you to use your cell service as a "modem". Not sure how you would connect your phone to your pc. This often depends on who your service provide is.

2)data plans very greatly. OFten they charge for the amount of data transfered. Lots of stories out there about $3,000--15,000 bills due to data usage.
