I can access the internet from my cell phone.

Is there a way to connect my cell phone to my laptop and get an internet connection that way when I am on the road?

TIA!

What you are asking is called tethering. In order to do this without hacking your phone, you have to pay for the service through your cell phone provider. It runs $30-$50 per month usually and requires connection to a 3G network, usually.

Check with your cell phone provider and see what they offer.

Hi,
thank you for your response. I guess I will just access the internet through my phone when needed (it's just hard to see things on a little screen). I won't bother with the laptop, I wasn't sure if it was even an option.

Thanks again!
