A while back my friend signed up for a dial up ISP which offered a certain amount of minutes per month of their service for free. He connected his phone to his laptop via USB and dialed the ISPs number and was able to use those free minutes with a data call to get (slow) internet access, which worked well enough for IMing and such.
Does anyone know of a similar solution that could be done with the Internet Tablets? I've attempted to set up a data call connection with my N810 and BT cell phone but I haven't gotten anything to work. Does anyone use a solution like this and could provide any help?

Just for Benz145, a step by step guide, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...1383#post71383
BTW, I have yet to see anybody comment about the quality of a non 3G phone dial up modem. It is NOT very slow, I got close to 3 Mbps, and has enough bandwidth to do ebay and Google map simultaneously. Yes, we have all been spoiled by broadband, I just want to re-iterate, dial up via cellphone is NOT 56k. It is almost as good as a broadband having busy traffic on a web site....
Enjoy,

Edit: Here is where I am now -
Ok so I've signed up with Juno who gives 10 free hours of internet access per month (for free, no other plan required). Now I'm trying to use my phone as a modem and dial their access number which I got by download the Juno software and going through the connection steps until I got an access number in my area.
Now I am trying to set it up so I can use that number to get a connection from my phone to my N810 via BT. So far I've tried configuring the connection as a data call. When I tell the N810 to connect it connects to the phone and it starts dialing the number, however only seconds after my phone starts dialing it says "Service Not Available" on my phone along with the number I'm trying to dial. I'm not sure why it is nearly instantly rejecting the call. My phone definitely recognizes it as a data call though because it has a totally different screen than just a regular phone call.
So, I know it is possible to access the internet this way, my friend has done it before. The only difference is that he was using a different (older) phone, and using a USB cable phone the phone instead of BT. I think if we can find out the right settings to get this to work it could mean 10 hours of free internet access for everyone with a BT phone, am I right? Anyone have any suggestions? At this point I'm just going through and trying to switch around settings systematically and see if I can get it to work.
