It won't work. Because that cellphone is NOT capable of modem capability.
This is the major issue in this discussion. Like the person said
before.. I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but that is the

cheapies can do it" heck, I spent a lot of my Nokia 'cheapie' that can do
it. :P he just needs to get a cellphone that is capable of acting as a
modem.
