Most GSM phones support CSD -- just check for "data capable" and the means you
want for your connection (cable, IrDA, Bluetooth).

Looking to move to GSM but I want to be able to use the phone as a " link " between my laptop and present ISP to download email, I know it's slow and I'm not interested in browsing. I want to be able to use my minutes from the bucket without additional data charges. How can it be done? Signature Thanks Traveling
