I doubt you could use the tracphone for anything more than calling, as its not designed for more than that.




Actually many phones and data cables are rated at speeds upto 1MB.

I was going to do this with my phone and I bought the data cable and everything but found out, after installing and configuring my computer, that my phone, doesn't support the option as a modem, or atleast I cant find a driver for it.

It is very popular, especially in todays world to see people with their cellphones tied to their laptop to hook up to the net where there isn't WIFI. I know I would if my phone was compatable.
