can a cellphone be used as a modem as in a dial up connection?

Land line is necessary. If you have a land line then you can use cellular phone's free minutes by using a dock station. This device used to be sold couple years ago and haven't seen somebody using it.

A cable modem is a constant dedicated connection - there's no dialling up like there is on a phone line so there's no ring-tone.

No you can not connect a dial-up through this one.\nDial-up connection uses different modem (phone modem basically), dlink 502T is for broadband based connection only (ADSL technology). \n\nGo for broadband based connection since you have already got a BSNL phone connection it will be very quick, now a days they install broadband in just 7 days.

If you're trying to hookup DSL then you don't need a modem other than the one supplied by the DSL provider.  The internal modem in your PC is for dialup, NOT dsl.  If you got a bad DSL modem then you need to return it to your DSL provider.\n\nIf you really do have a bad modem it would affect your ability to dialup to the internet.  They do go bad and many times if you don't run your phone line thru a surge protector, a lightening hit on the telephone lines will fry it.  It's cheap to replace, something like $25.

No, it will not work over dial up....too much latency. Must have broadband.

You must have a dial-up modem installed and connected to a phone line to send faxes.

nopes.. DSL box /modem use the phone line as input, but do totally different things..hence you cannot use them in each others place

Yes.  There are attachments that will let a cell phone function as a "modem".  But don't expect high speed.\n\nCheck with your local wireless provider or phone store to see what's available in your area.

Not sure. I think they have agreements with Earthlink for both ADSL and dial-up.

Through the phone modem to the ISP.

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

There are Free dial up providers. Why not use one of those?

Only if the modem on the other end is set to the same COMPRESSION settings.....\n\nThe law limits the bit transfer limit on phone communication in the US to around 48Kb (note lower case 'b'.)  The fact that our dial-up modems can go upto 56Kb is ignored.  This means that in the US your modem can at best transfer 48,000 / 8 or 6KB of info per second.\n\nSome of that is Packet Header and Trailer information, the actual DATA throuput is less....Mine from home is between 4 and 5KB and my modem only connects at 42,000Kb to begin with.\n\nIf you get less that 48,000Kb from your connection and call the phone Co. to complain, they will happily tell you that they are only REQUIRED to provide you with 24,000 and to thank your lucky stars you have more.....nice huh?\n\nThat said there is a way, using data 'compression' to achive greater data throughput on a dial-up connection.  Some smaller ISP's have advertised "up to 5x regular dial-up speeds" for their dial-up customers.  These connections do not require special equipment per se, but they do require a modem that will support the compression type they are using to achieve their throughput claims.\n\nPS:modem means....MOdulator-DEModulator

Some hotels have "data ports" on the sides of the phones in the rooms to plug into to DIALUP internet (local charges may apply). Other hotels may have in-room Ethernet jacks to plug into high-speed internet, but most charge a service fee. The best idea would be to call the hotel that you have you reservations at and consult thier customer services.

not unless u have a telephone network setup not via the standard telephone lines, so the simple answer would be No since u would need some good hardware to do what your suggesting.

nope, that's dial-up for you. Ask them to convert it to an ADSL line, otherwise you are SOL.

Absolutely. I often connect via my phone. It needs to have a modem built in, you can connect via bluetooth, infrared or data cable and then you're away
