Connect to the internet using your cell phone?

When you use your phone as a modem, you don't actually dial any number. You use your phone to connect through the internet via your cell phone provider.
The principle is the same as when you browse the internet on your cell phone. You aren't actually calling a local dial up provider, you're essentially connecting directly through the cell phone network.
As a heads up, if you don't have a data plan with your cell company, you're going to wind up paying a $/kB charge. Sometimes it's something like $0.05/kB which can very quickly add up to a lot, especially if you're using a computer to browse the internet. So I don't recommend doing that without a data plan.
