piggy back the internet?
 

i just bought a gateway m-1617 for cheap but dont have the internet yet. my question is can i somehow piggy back the internet from my phone to my laptop? if it helps its a samsung blackjack with unlimited media package. i have tried everything i can think of but to no avail. my friend has wireless internet and he swears up and down its not encrypted but i still cant get his to work on my comp either. someone feed me please. i have googled a couple times trying to find some answers but its not working very well.

Does it have "usb to pc," "usb connect," or best of all....internet sharing?

If so I can help you out.

Call whoever you use for phone and ask them about using your phone as a modem. I know I can go that with my A900 on Sprint.

nevermind, i found it. i guess i would end up paying 60 a month with at&t for their phone modem service. and its only slightly faster than dial up. since ill be getting wireless internet at the start of next month ill just wait. but at least then ill be able to post pics and videos. ive got a pretty bad ass video of my friends lizard killing a mouse and ripping its head off. it only likes the heads for some reason. leaves a bloody mess everywhere.
