Let us know if you do. In the '90's anyone could use their 
cell phone for data; it was just a serial port. Then the 
cell phone companies spent years figuring out how to 
separate data and speech, so that they could charge 
separately for them. Now with these technological 
improvements inplace, you can't use your cell phone for 
data anymore. You need a separate account/plan now.
