There is two ways to use your phone as a motem.There is dialup for 10.00 a month and packetstream witch is a little faster and unlimeted time. You can get moor info on nextels site.

I might have explained it wrong to you. The $10.00 data plan includs using your phone as a modem.There is a lot more to this. You need a IP like aol too.There is better info than I am giving you on nextels site.
